Anyone know where one can buy good casting resin for miniature casting, preferably in sweden or otherwise in europe?
I assume I need a low viscosity resin mix to avoid bubbles and preferably one that does not discolour with time.

Thank you for your replies.

I like Tap Plastic's Quik Cast but no idea about their international shipping.

the problem with bubbles is going to be a problem almost regardless of which resin you go with. The best way to make sure that there are not any bubbles in the casts or molds is to use something like a pressure pot, or vibration table.

I also find that bending the molds in and out after pouring the resin will help free any bubles from inside which can then be popped.

Smooth cast is very low viscosity and usually self degasses. I have very few bubble issues with it. I use Smooth Cast 300 and 305.

The two part additive silicone for moulds and the polyester fast case for models. It is very low viscosity and will usually avoid bubbles.

I had a great time using SmoothOn. It's not perfect, but it's definitely good enough.
