    This is what i need.

    The reservoir is filled with resin and sensor on the left triggers relay behind, deactivating the pump.

    I need some way of closing the circuit when level is reached.

    None of the float switches that i know of will work because they are too big to fit.

    You need to provide more details. You want a sensor that measures resistance and closes a relay at some preset value.

    Why not use two wires being fed from a battery and a series resistor. What range of resistance do you want to measure? By the way, I don't think resin or glue are particularly low resistance, but I don't know for sure.

    The wires may have to be gold plated to avoid degredation.

    The signal from the sensor would drive a compartor, with the output driving a relay.
