Hi
I'm fairly new to casting resins i normally stick to metal but have decided to give some water clear figures a go. I'm using water clear polyester resin along with additional cure rtv silicone moulds. the problem I'm having is that although the moulds are perfect the resin is drying with a wrinkled surface, i have tried different ratios of catalyst and different tempratures with no luck :-/ has anybody had the same trouble and found a solution?
thanks
joe

just use a little bit a brush it on with a brush, and then brush everything of again. Sounds weird...

Hi If you are casting a full piece in a silicone mold,you might be experimenting a shrinkage issue...
