You've gotten pretty good at making pens and knives, now it's time to try your hand at making the colorful, swirling blanks that make them stand out from the crowd. It's surprisingly easy with Alumilite Clear casting resin. Alumilite Clear has a 7-minute open time and a 90-minute demold time at 75°F with 100g of resin, making it convenient to use for small, easily manageable casting and turning projects. And with our wide selection of opaque and translucent dyes (e.g. #67408, sold separately), you can mix up a blank with your customer's favorite team colors, the colors of a flag, or colors to represent a special occasion or special cause. Once cured, the resin turns like butter and polishes to a high gloss.
