Resin & Aluminium.

Hi All,
This was a test to see if the resin adheres to the metal. It seems to be OK.
Hopefully one of these days I will be able to make a pen from this combo.

Seems to me that this is something well worth incorporating in future projects. Have you tried polishing it up yet?

I have not tried polishing it, but I'm sure it will not be a problem.

Deeper than man has gone before, you are a true diver mate and I value your videos highly.

Smart! I was wondering how it stood up to the heat of the ally whilst turning but all looks good. Be interesting to see how wide a channel you could safely do and polish...
Like it.

Hi,

I suppose with such light cuts not much heat is generated.
I am going to try Alumilite resin, so I will do a test on a wider channel.

 

[Davyc]

Will keep an eye out for that.
Well interesting.....

Love the Video Paul, well done mate, good result too, seems to me that turning of all that expensive Resin is quite a waste, well of course that is only my opinion and i'm probably wrong, I usually am in here but that's me Love the way you are experimenting, keep going mate!

I am always playing around with stuff, keeps me active, I have tried doing bits with Poxy resin with a bit of colour before which was very cheap and easy to do also with coloured bottle tops melted on a pen. I will try and post a few bits on a new thread that you can look at or "laugh at", any way, well done again mate....

Cheers Ted,

I will keep a look out for your thread.

I would probably save a heap if I cast in round tubes, but I do like to pour in the open top silicon.

My work has started to slow down now, so hopefully I will get plenty of time in the shed to start casting.

Regards
Paul.
