Resin for bowl casting

[Topcat32]

what peoples go to resin for casting bowls in a pressure pot, just starting out and wondered what's people are using, i just bought some Alumilite, is this good ? are there cheaper options ?

alumilite turns nicely as pen blanks. I cant tell you much more than that though.

what are you wanting to cast, a large blank and turn it, or something vaguely bowl shaped and then turn that?

i got a few bits with natural voids , cracks, and imperfections, want to turn these rough bowl shapes and put in moulds( plastic mixing bowls , small bucket ect), and cast blanks, not wanting to cast solid lumps of resin, been watcuing to much Sprague woodturning and Mick Zamatti on you tube prehaps
