Just began resin casting

Bought a pound of HS-3 RTV and 28 oz of Alumilite Regular resin. HS3 is wonbderful stuff, takes a long time to cure, but if you mix it right and shake the bubbles out by setting the curing mold on air compressor for about 5 minutes, the molds come out great. This one had no bubbles whatsoever. It took 3 tries to get a good batch of resin though, with my mixing skills still in progress. But the third one cured nice and evenly, only two little bubbles. Sorry for the pciture quality

Came out pretty good, very little flash.

I'll be casting many many pieces from now on :p this is pretty fun

Yep, you gotta admit, once you start casting your own parts, your modeling takes on a whole new perspective :)

Nice subs you made there.

thats the same stuff ill be casting cause i think pegasus subs suck ass im also gonna cast some TVs

Those look nice. I've always wanted to try casting, but i couldn't think of anything until recently.

Nice, Bubbleless is always good.

nice!

Thanks guys. I got a whole bag full of stuff just waiting to be molded and recast, including some scratchbuilt stuff (cam gears, anyone?)

Way ta go!
Your cast looks better than the stripped original :)

PS Love the pic in your sig :) I think my dog could relate to that sometimes !!
