I didn't read all the post in your thread, so I hope I'm not repeating what someone else has said

>Thanks to you and all the others I was able to find 3 different brands of casting resin. It's in with the clay at the hobby shops. I never would have looked there. I've got some poured and drying on my workbench. We'll know by morning if it's going to work. I've got my fingers crossed. It certainly smells bad enough to work. It smells as bad as bondo or fiberglass and maybe worse.

>Hey John:

Let us know the brand you are trying and how it works. Also cost would be interesting because you may have found "inlace" at a cheaper price than that sold specifically for woodturners.

>Metalurgy lab at work casts metal samples in clear resin for scanning electron microscope. They place a heavy bell jar over samples and apply vacuum. The bubbles pop like champagne.
