resin

Can anyone help with a problem I have had off and on for a long time with labels? As you can see in the pic, there is a white mark at the end that happens with roughly half the label blanks I make. I then have to make another one and hope for the best. I print the label on an inkjet printer...

Hey all I've been having so much fun mixing with alumilite I thought I'd have a go with some heavy glitters and large foil objects about 3mm big hearts It seems it doesn't matter how long I leave the resin to gell they sink to the bottom or introduce too much air for the pot to get rid of Has...

I really love the Sirocco kit. I've made a few now, and thought I'd try the brushed pewter kit. I paired it with a polyester resin 'opal' blank. The pic doesn't do it justice, the subtle rainbow colours in the resin are fantastic. This for a female friend for Xmas. Karl

Hi I have been making pens for a while now and would like to experiment with making my own blanks. I work in the cardboard packaging industry and wondered if it would be possible to make a blank with cardboard in so you can see the flute(wiggly bit in the middle) Would the resin go around /...

Hi All. Here is a Rollester kit dressed in Alumilite resin and Polymer clay. I enjoyed this turning. Polyclay and resin - YouTube

Thought I’d better start getting some of this Polyester resin I bought a few months ago used up before it starts to go off!

Has anyone done this, i saw a pine cone cast in resin that was then turned into a little lidded box, it looked beautiful. Just wondering is anyone has done this and what resin they used. Have seen some US vids on youtube but get the resin they use seems to be a bit difficult.

Hi All. I came across these on the IAP forum. They have just been released and I'm hoping that we will start to hear how these perform in the pressure pot. Anyone here ordered them yet? I do like the idea of the silicon stoppers, I just hope they will not let resin past whilst under pressure...

Hi all as the title says a BMPK wraped in Cholla cactus and resin....blank from Classic nibs in the US.

Hi All, This was a test to see if the resin adheres to the metal. It seems to be OK. Hopefully one of these days I will be able to make a pen from this combo. Test. Resin & Aluminium - YouTube

Hello everybody, just a quick question, does Polyester resin get more brittle the longer you leave it before turning? Thank you one and all.

About a week ago I thought I'd try alumilite resin instead of my normal opticast 100 Now at first I thought everything was much better with the alumilite resin but now as I'm ramping up too what I do with the opticast100 I'm finding the alumilite is very very brittle, I had a pen blank crack...

Hi All, Home made blank. Very happy with the way this turned out. Hope to find chalk that fits. Very easy kit to put together. Opti cast 100 resin. Blue Alumilite Bright Gold Pearlx. Looks more like Yellow. Cheers Paul Chalk holder - YouTube

Quick and simple project. This was made with 3mm ply, I will try resin and wood hybrids in the future. Scrollsaw Cat - YouTube

I am now looking at extending our range of Resin Saver/Less-Resin casting moulds/molds to cover the popular overseas pen kits! our LR08 already covers the Cigar twist range, I have just finished our latest mould the LR11 which covers the Junior series of pens, Are there any other Less-Resin...

I've not posted for a while so I thought this would be of interest to some. This is a streamline with resin and dyed twigs
