which casting resin

[procell]

Which casting resin is best to use when filling holes/inclusions. I appreciate that it needs to be machinable once set and have found a site that does both polyurethane and polyester resins. I hope its the polyester as that's much cheaper.

This is the site I have found. seems to be a lot cheaper than some others.

Not sure about which one is best, but I've used this stuff in the past. My Son does prop making and buys this stuff by the gallon.

There's someone on here does a lot of it and sells resin blanks. I'm sure they've got a blog or website tutorial on how to cast etc.

I'm sure the person you're thinking of is George Watkins. I'm fairly certain his username is Cornucopia. Hope this helps.
