Greetings from Guernsey, which means that we have less opportunities to source items. I am just starting to enjoy turning acrylic pens and now need to obtain my own source of casting resin etc. Can anyone please advise details of companies who can ship resin and dyes etc?

Fortunately my eldest son is a boats painter and I get as much resin as I want for free. If I could send some to friends I would but unsure how I would manage to sent this through royal mail ot courier. WhatI would like to know is where to purchase moulds and how you add colour and patterns.:face:

Made from bathroom silicon with a box for strength as It is only 1/2" thick. As you can see cast done and comes out easy as I clamp one side of the box in place until set
