Info

All molds poured and ready to remove and begin casting the class trophies It turns out that casting resin is also expensive, so I made my own using less expensive fiberglass resin and glass micro-balloons. The micro-balloons thicken the resin and add volume on a 1:1 basis. I prefer to mix in about 40% micro-balloons by volume, stir, and then add the catalyst. Getting the right amount without wasting or falling short of enough material was important. It turned out that a microwave Chinese noodle dish holds exactly the volume needed for a set of first, second and third place casts. Once catalyzed, I poured it into the mold, brushed the surfaces to remove air bubbles and waited four to eight hours for the casts to be ready, depending on the temperature and amount of catalyst used. Now that all of the casts are built, I have to clean them up for painting. You’ll have to wait for the April Smoke to see them come together. Smoke in the Wires February 2017 Page 14
