What is the best way to add pigments to the gelcoat. I don't mean for color match, I mean how to do it to reduce the mess. What is the best way to get the pigment from the container to the gelcoat without getting it all over everything? What a mess.

See a doctor to cure your Parkinson :D,
see a pharmacist to buy some 50 ml syringes.
Use latex gloves.
Good luck :)

Hey - I meant it serious: A syringe can dose your pigments very accurate and your fingers don't get in touch with it. When you wipe it off outside, you have the most clean tool. Only the scale printing may vanish. You can prevent it by taping over (even through regular masking tape you still see the marks). Most of us share similar messy experience, this is why we 'welcomed you to the club'.
Was this positive enough now? :)
