    Hairline Slimline.

    This is a pen I cast a few weeks ago using some hair from My two daughters clippings, I first painted the tubes White then made a blank from clear Polyester resin and the hair. Then I got to thinking, maybe there is a market for babies first hair cut pens. :thinks::thinks:

    Opinions and advice required

    I am now looking into casting my own blanks and am pickling my brain trying to sort out what i need. Think I'm ok with sourcing a pressure pot, but do I need a vacuum chamber to de-gas first? don't think I will go down the stabalising route just yet. My choice of resins are Zencast P6 for the...

    Clear Epoxies.

    Hello again. Due to my background in special effects work, and overexposure to polyurethanes, I'm drastically and dangerously allergic to them now. I can't be near them in liquid state, the fumes, cured castings or the dust. Last time I was hospitalized. So, I've been doing some research into...

    Hi All, Big thanks to Forum member Melanie (Fingwe) for pointing out this product in one of her posts. It seems to be a problem getting hold of Alumilite clear in the UK. We can get Amazing clear which is OK but takes a while to cure plus is very expensive in the small quantities it comes in...
