Hi! I’m working on a gift idea. I’ve made a bunch of Lego pieces and mounted them within a Lego cube frame that measures 13cm each way. I now want to cast the whole thing in resin (blue with lighter bits). The whole thing is a play on the tesseract from the Marvel comic universe. I’m a total resin novice. What considerations should I have? Will the resin curing process melt the Lego? Is a 15cm cube going to take forever to cure / will it cure? I need information. In theory I can fill the cube with more Lego to reduce the amount of resin used. How much resin will I need? Which resin in best suited? Lots of questions!

Without degassing, it can be difficult to get the air out the brick underside. You will have to pour it in stages. Sometimes poking with a cocktail stick helps.  Pouring the resin just over the brick, then gently wafting with a heat gun can be enough to make it sink into the brick voids.
