Hi Guys
I am thinking of doing some resin casting and am a bit stuck of what resin and moulding stuff to use theirs so many different types out their could someone give me some details of what they use I would be grateful items I will be making are only small ( to start with ) fuel drums /jerrycans etc
thanks for any help

Hi If its small stuff look at this GREEN STUFF WORLD BLUE STUFF for the mould and ALTECO EPOPUTTY for the resin .

I started with this , the range has since expanded and now includes coloured resins and black rubber too - https://sylmasta.com/product/sylmasta-casting-kit-01/

cool thanks
will be ordering a kit to try this week

I use Tomps https://www.tomps.com/specialist-rtv-silicone-rubber/

I mainly use the value silicone, its very good for the price and you get different speed kickers for it red fast and blue slow. It last very well.
I also use the polyurethane resin from them, works out well for me. ! prices are very good

While doing a search on this subject, I discovered that your link is no longer going anywhere. I'm hoping there is another working link and we haven't lost another useful company.

Sorry to say tomps is no longer, Its a shame as I used to buy 25kg at a time.. no place sells it at the prices tomps had so im stuff to buy 5kg at cost increase

I use these guys and they are brilliant. https://www.mbfg.co.uk/
Hope that helps.

Smooth-on resins, the best around.
