supporting/strengthening resin.

[jason1976]

I've got some very nice little resin pieces lately, but there very, very thin, and I'm worried about them braking easily. Are there any techniques, tips, products, etc. to support, or give strengthen to these pieces so that they are supper strong?

Thanks
Jason

Pics? How big ? How thin?

Yes we need some pics to see what we would have to work with
if it were us doing the job

Sorry, guys I posted in a hurry yesterday. I can't post pics right now, and probably not for a wile, but one of the pieces is about 6" long, 2" wide, and ranges from about 1/16" to as then as paper. (most of the pieces in question have similar properties.)

Check with the resin manufacturer. You can sometimes put them in the oven but they could deform if the castings aren't still in the mold.

Offhand I would suggest the thin plywood they sell at hobby stores. I have also used metal rod. Place the plywood cut to shape or metal rod in the mold and pour as you normally would. Don't know if that will help without knowing what the shape or size of the part is.
