Topic Subject : HELP: Casting materials other than Plaster ?

Hi Everyone,

Couple of questions that some of you UK (or Rest of the World) based casters may be able to help me with.

I would really like to offer my customers castings in materials more than stone plaster, such as Clear Resin (as in Glass clear, with or without bubbles) Metals etc.

So Questions are:

• Where do I start?
• What clear Resin is best to cast with from a Alginate (PSP Chromatic, Fast Set.) mould (that is still damp) ?
• I really don’t know how to start when it some to pouring a "metal" casts…. I guess a cold pour metal, but which one, and where from?

Any recommendation of suppliers, web links greatfully received.

Thanks,

Adi
