GlassCast 50 questions

Hi-
A few questions about GlassCast 50
- Will it be be available on the website soon?
- On the page description it says the following: See our full instructions on how to use GlassCast 50 to create a stunning resin river table here. But it isn't linked to anything- do you have those instructions available?
- What's the best way to work out how much I will need? For instance I think I need approx 5000 cubic centimeters of resin, what is the calculation I need to do to work out how much I need to buy in weight?

many thanks
Joz

Hi,  We are currently due the resin back in stock around the 7th September.

GlassCast is virtually zero VOC and epoxy in general is low odour so most people just work in a well ventilated  room without a respirator.  However if you have concerns or may be potentially allergic then any good quality  properly sealed nose and mouth respirator will be fine.  You would want  filters for organic vapour and also  for sanding and cutting cured  resin a P2 (or better) particulate filter.  Some masks allow you to combine the filters or easily swap them out. We tend to use a lot of products from the 3M range due to quality and availability.
