Casting with Transparent Resin?

[Jeddie]

Hi all,

I'm 14 , and have been trying to move into working with some clear casting resin.

I've tried, and failed, to find out:

• What I need to buy to make a mould and take a transparent cast from it, and where I can find it from UK suppliers,
• If there are any safety concerns I need to think about
• How to make a mould, and take a cast of it.

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks

Jeddie

Jeddie,

You can't go far wrong looking at these books:

The Prop Builder's Moulding and Casting Handbook by Thurston James

Mouldmaking and Casting by Nick Brooks

In terms of UK suppliers try these:

Tiranti

Tomps

Mouldlife

CFS
