Sorry if I've missed something Cheers

GlassCast10 uses the faster hardener thus limiting to a 10mm thickness and GlassCast50 uses a slower hardener giving the ability to build thicker sections - in terms of the final finish, there is no real difference.

Yes, that's purely the difference and the curing speed is what limits the thickness.
