Hi guys,
Lots of people seem to be making there own blanks here in the UK so I'm assuming that all the equipment has been acquired here, has anyone a recommendation for a supplier and a pressure pot, Also is there a clear medium similar to Alumilite, think I'm after a smell free type if possible
Cheers Stew

Hi Stew.
I bought a paint pressure pot from amazon and spent about £15 converting it.
The pot is rated to 80psi but rarely go over 40.
I use a resin called resin 4 art. Off eBay. It was the cheapest I could find while experimenting, but it’s actually a decent resin. You get about 45mins open time.
