Picking out Resin!
Ok so i've created some scratch built Pieces and all
 , but i dont want to use the master piece, so ive been looking around and noticed a ton of people who sell resin kits and what not . So my question is, whats a good kit that would get the job done? Price isnt a issue, just need something that will make about 10 molds.

Re: Picking out Resin!
I have used Alumilite and the set sold by Micromark. I have had far better results with the Micromark offering, as the mold rubber seems better and the resin takes much longer to set, and therefore it's easier to get rid of bubbles and the like. You also get a ton of the stuff, so you'll be set for a while.

Re: Picking out Resin!
it is thick, and it cures WAY to fast, but if you are just casting things like seats, and other lightly detailed, larger objects it works fine. really as far as resins go, it's not that bad, but for casting small parts that have alot of detail, you are better off using a much thinner (lower viscosity) resin that takes longer to set up and cure, so you can get all of the air bubbles out and have nicely cast fine details.
