Transparent and Translucent casting resins?

[CJP]

I need to make a bunch of small domes / light covers, about 1/4" diameter and 1/4" high, wall thickness of about .030".

The colors I'll need are:

Red transparent
Green tranparent
Red translucent
White translucent

The photo below just represents the colors, not the parts I'm casting.

Can anyone recommend a casting resin that they've had experience with that worked out well for this type of casting?

Thanks,

Chris

I've used the Polytek clear resin. It's an easy 1:1 mix ratio but you'll need a pressure pot to eliminate air bubbles.

Contact Gobler (Jeff) here on the board. He just found an amazingly opticly clear resin.

Contact TOSphaser- I've purchased many ST: TOS bridge buttons from him and been happy with his work.
