Hi Guys,
For a few years, I have been using polyester resin from M B Fibreglass, their water clear stuff, but they have been out of stock for months. I found another supplier and tried theirs, but it is not as easy to turn as it sets very brittle. I don't know if M B will ever get it back in...
I got this idea after watching a Zac Higgins video. The pen is a Concava in black enamel with black holographic glitter cast in clear polyester resin. The tubes were painted black and the castings were tube-in.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the best/cheapest glass clear resin for pen blank making. I've been using GlassCast 50 Epoxy resin from Easy Composites which works well, has no smell but is quite expensive.

Hi guys,
Lots of people seem to be making there own blanks here in the UK so I'm assuming that all the equipment has been acquired here, has anyone a recommendation for a supplier and a pressure pot, Also is there a clear medium similar to Alumilite, think I'm after a smell free type if...
Ok, so I've decided to have a go at clear casting the music pen (see thread on pen forum)
So I need a clear resin casting kit? Any recommendations?
I only need a small amount, probably 500ml max. The cheapest seem to be on eBay, but I'm guessing you get what you pay for?
I will be going...
