I'm wanting to create a display container to hold some of our products (pellets and tablets). My original intension was to fill a clear perspex tube, however the pellets moved around and started breaking. Hence to hold them into position I was intending on using the water clear polyester resin.... which worked pretty well... but I found the resin reacts with the persex. Is there an easy and simple means of lining the perspex tube with something to stop it reacting with the resin or would you have an alternative suggestion? Many thanks.

Or, if it's possible, you can use polyethylene packaging tape to line the tube. Cling film will work too, but it's difficult to get smooth if that matters. Otherwise, PVA release agent is impervious to polyester so long as you watch your exotherm.
