Casting material
|
Can you tell me the exact material used to make the plastic resin castings? I have tried using Aluminite tan resin which sets up in about 90 sec. It is giving me tiny pin holes which must be entrapped air.
I'd like to know what FEGA uses.
Thanks

Art - I make the FEGA castings and I use a product from MicroMart called CR-600 available online. I believe the working time is 10 min. I spray paint the mold first with a white liqueur then let it dry for a few minutes before pouring the resin this stops any tiny bubbles from showing up on the top surface. After demolding I wait a day or two to let the whole casting cure before I ink using speedball, black, oil base, block printers ink.
