Hi. I want to cast a rod of approx 12mm diameter that I can heat and bend once cured. What would be a good choice of resin for this? I have some alumilite dyes that I'd like to use so ideally it would be compatible with these. Thanks, Tom

Castable resins are thermoset and cannot be bent with heat.
