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.

Epoxy as mentioned above is the solution to avoid the inhibiting effect you have had.  or change the tubes and carry on using the cheaper polyester.
