The resin I use is 1:1 but it is by weight which makes it that little bit more fiddly having to use kitchen scales. The silicone is a 10:1 ratio and again this is by weight. If it was all just 1:1 rat ... |

I also use the 3 minute water like resin. The only thing I haven’t been doing is pouring the resin quickly, I just assumed slow was the way to go. I tried the suggested method with my last attempt and ... |

Well, some issues with the resin casting have been resolved but now I’m faced with another couple. I had a go at using pigment in the resin which made the resin really thick and I thought I wouldn’t g ... |

Another great product I found is PermaPoxy. It’s a 5 minute epoxy which comes in a 2 oz container.
It’s like a 1” x 3” roll of plasticine with the hardener in the centre.
