ive done a lot of research on the board, and i have a few things i would like to cast up ( i need monies ), so i am curious as to what the "favored" resin is on the board. ive decided to give the dragonskin silicone a shot since it seems to work pretty well (plus buster has yet to tear, always a bonus)
i know about 99% of you will think "SMOOTH ON. DUH.".
they have a LOT of resin products though, so lets try to narrow it down a bit.
what i would prefer it for? reasonably bubble free castings, it can be white resin (dont really need clear right now), and ease of use. in other words, if a retarded monkey can use it, chances are i cant mess it up too badly. i dont have (nor need) a pressure pot. i dont plan to build a pressure pot, and i dont plan to rent a pressure pot. this is for basic resin casting.
so... for relatively small things (nothing as huge as a blaster or phaser), whats the "best" resin to use, and why? (also, if you have a tip or trick or neat factoid about using your favored resin, feel free to share it with the group)
thanks in advance for any pointers guys
also, recommended release agent would be cool as well. no need to destroy a mold unless i really have to.
