Hi Guys
Had my first try at clear casting and it didn't go to well and wanted to see if you guys could help.
I intend to fill a perspex tube with clear resin to make a Darth Vader in Bacta Tank. I used hot glue to set another flat part of perspex to be removed after the first layer of resin.
I loosely wrapped the clingfilm around the tube to stop any resin from getting on the side and also placed it on the top to stop any debris getting in.
I used Clear Casting Polyester Resin that was advertised as low shrinkage but as you can see thats not the case. I can deal with the shrinkage but sadly the casting cracked the perspex.
Anyone have any tips on how to prevent this or any recommendations of resin to use?
