    Some of the electrical casting kits for waterproofing underground
    cables actually are sold in a plastic bag system.  They have a thick
    outer bag with a thin divider inside.  You poke a hole through the
    inner bag and keep squashing it around to mix it.  Then cut a corner
    off and pour while cursing the mess on your pliers :-) 

    Unless they use a special bag plastic, I can't see anything really
    different to what you are doing.  The one difference with casting
    kits is that with big quantities of epoxies in them, they can get
    uncomfortably warm when mixing! 

    At least it is clean and stops chemical contact. 

Reagards,
Brian.
