Hi, I fancy having a go at casting some honeycomb aluminium blanks but I don’t know where to get some of this material, any ideas guys?

Your good friend google mate.

The Honeycomb is used in Laser cutters. They used to have one where I worked years ago.

It’s a disposable item so if you know the right person...
As William says Easy Composites, but you would need the 1/4” or possibly the 1/8” versions in 20mm thick, which starts getting a bit more costly.
heres a link to their 1/4” honeycomb

including our own version of the Resin Saver Mold the Less-Resin Mould
I looked into using the easy composites stuff, but got myself a 3d printer and have since made my own, which works rather well in blanks.

I print it purposefully irregular, so it give it a better look in the resin.
Permabond in this country is around 50.00 AU making its use very expensive unless you use it a lot.Some reading on this glue gave a CA definition for this glue.
