That will be fine, just as Derek's link would be also try Water Clear Casting Resin - East Coast Fibreglass Supplies water clear resin.

Ed, are you aware how stinky this stuff is, don't use it indoors or your missus will be staying in a hotel for a few days, wear a vapour mask.

I also get mine from the link Derek added Ed, just a side note, i find the clear water resin is much more brittler than resin, so needs a little more attention when turning ..

Following these answers there are so many alternatives. Trust you find the one that suits you and your health.

What are you going to cast ?


Make your own blanks ?
Embedded objects ?
Are you going for rectangular blanks or tubes ?
Vacuum, Pressure or leave it to the gods ?

Be prepared for the PR stink ...

This has prompted me to go visit a mate of mine and get an update on his use of his two Lasers, take or get some result pics. Also he casts in clear his pen blanks, everything he does he makes look easy, his output is high and impressive.

Mark I remember those early years on the U Beaut site you had to wade through so many postings it was wonderful. There were a lot of dealers around my way then now none where I live population in our city is
getting up to 500,000 more than live in Iceland.
