Hi. I am starting a project at home which requires me to make a clear block of resin around 6 inches square with various items inside.
Ive been looking at the GlassCast 50 Clear Epoxy Casting Resin. Is this suitable for this kind of project? It does state it can go 25mm deep so I guess multiple layers at 25mm?

When cast in wood you have to limit the pours to 25mm depth to avoid the resin having a runaway exotherm and overheating. In most plastic, metal and silicone moulds, you will be fine with 50mm pours.
