Hi,

Im hoping to use some crystal clear resin, that doesn't go yellow and is clear all the way through but possibly add a blue colour to it. On two parts of wood for a table top, filling in the shakes and knots. So i would require the resin to allow the wood to move, but the resin to be really hard. Which of your resin do you think will be best? I have looked at the water clear polyester casting resin, but unsure its the right one. I would require the depth of the cast to be appox 60mm deep is this something i can do in on go, or do i have to do it in stages? I would like to sand the wood and the resin once finished and either oil it or lacquer it.

Please can someone advice on this.


Regards
Ben

Hi Ben,

The ideal product for this is just about to be released by us, it is called GlassCast 50.  It has been specially formulated for the thicker casting jobs such as with river wooden table and infilling of big knots and gaps in wooden decorative projects as well as general epoxy casting.  This particular formulation can be cast up to 50mm thick per layer with multiple pours if needs be for thicker casts.

Once you have allowed  48 hours curing time, you are free to machine, sand or shape the wood and resin to re-expose any wood  which can subswquently be treated with oils or stains as you see fit.

Hi Warren
Thanks for the advice! When will the glass cast 50 be available to buy? Also it sounds expensive! But sounds good!
Is there any other products that you would recommend? Would your water clear polyester cast resin do the job? 

Regards
Ben
