my hubby (novice at this) is trying to make  acrylic blanks  from clear casting resin to make pens. so far his attempts (not good). they have been very hard and brittle not good for turning on lathe. Can you suggest for 2 ozs of resin, how much catalyst to use

and does adding liquid colour make a difference to hardness. hears hoping for an answer!

We have both polyester and polyurethane water clear resins AND pigments. As long as you choose the right resin system pigment you will be fine.
