So far I thought that using something other than special modelling mixes would lead to problems, like loss of detail etc, cause of the viscosity, but according to him "The stuff is so liquid that our worst problem is keeping it were it's supposed to be".

Has anybody had any experience with the stuff? What's your opinion?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544059/5912257.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544059/5912257.page GMT Differences between Epoxy
It will either be extremely stiff, or mushy and soft. If it was suitable for making models, you would see a lot more of it happening. Fast curing resins are just better in every way.

I have lots of years working with epoxies and polyurethanes when it comes to flooring (and other infrastructure). Epoxies for that market tend to get brittle and don't last long. They remain popular however because they are cheap.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544059/5912349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544059/5912349.page GMT Differences between Epoxy
For good details you want something below 100cps (centipoise) which I have a feeling this floor stuff is not.

best of luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544059/5913801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544059/5913801.page GMT Differences between Epoxy
I am looking to try some casting out soon and was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers regarding resins.

Has anyone tried a few different resins and which would they recommend?

Seen a few blogs via google liking Smooth Cast 300

Anyone got any other recommendations?

Do some research about the different properties of resin (viscosity, setting time, the difference between tin cure and platinum cure, etc.).

I have tried several, and personally I like either the smooth cast 305 or aeromarine.

Resin addict is a really good place to check as well.
