Hi all,
I built a version of the mystery side box from Lukes macrobinoclurs and I have 2 macros in the works so I needed to learn to do this.
I ordered up the Alumilite resin casting kit based on some member recommendations. Since this was my first cast I was very nervous.
A few things that really helped me was to microwave my mold for 1 minute and use babypowder in the mold to ease flow. These were my first casts ever and I cant find any bubbles. So much fun!!!
Styrene build primered and filled.
