what am I doing wrong....resin

[parts]

One thing that I have found with the CR resins is that they need to be mixed very well. When you start to mix it look like there are "layers" in the resin, you need to mix until it is totally clear and looks like water. The only other problem I've had was from an old batch of resin.

well I used some plastruct .100" for the face and chopped up some resin on a lathe for the lip of the rims, so thickness is no issue.

as for mixing, I noticed the same thing when I mixed my first "trial" batch of CR, so I mixed thoroughly, and it came out right first try...much to my surprise!

now I better get on with casting these rims before I fall asleep (12 hour work days suck monkey doo dads)
