Using up Resin

[Gadget-UK]

Had a look at the resin in my hot box and it was running close to expiration date
So as I bought the wrong one anyway (7 min cure time ) have to use it up.

So here we have the four blocks that have been poured, degassed, coloured and poured into moulds.
Not sure what they will turn like but it’s better than it going to waste

Interesting colour combinations, great idea and way better than wasting resin...looking forward to see these turned

Very nice colours Colin. would not know how to start

Nice save Colin, better than it going to waste. I like the green & red.

All cut up into useable blanks.
A few small air bubbles that I can see (joys of 7 min set time )
But should be ok. Purple and Yellow are the ones I am looking forward to turning

Colin

what moulds are they please? They look like some sort of cloth almost ? Do they demould the resin well ? Still getting the hang of this aluminite clear cast stuff

Hi Ian
They were from Mark at "Mr Resin"

They are very good, had them for a while now (x4 of them) and as long as you spray them before you use them (allow to dry) they will last.

Oh and they are VERY Easy to demould, just pull back on a corner and they pop out
