Resin casting is an exciting and fun craft that allows you to embed or encase almost any object in crystal clear plastic. Coins, shells, rocks, dried flowers, butterflies and insects are just a few of the examples of embedment possibilities. This convenient new package includes catalyst in a clear bubble top cap.
Castin'Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin is promoted for ambient temperature cure with Castin'Craft Catalyst (MEK). It can be used to produce small, medium and large size castings with exceptional clarity. Castin'Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin was designed to reduce cracks in larger castings with a long cure time, low peak exotherm, and minimal shrinkage.
