I don't think resin melts down all to easily.

I second the terrain ideas. If you have some plastic sprue to chop up to make rubble with you can use those to simulate cornerstones for buildings in your massive rubble piles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636887.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636887.page GMT leftover resin what to do? atm dont need any.

You can smash them into nice looking urban rubble with a hammer and or chisels ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636889.page GMT Re:leftover resin what to do? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636893.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636893.page GMT leftover resin what to do? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636986.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636986.page GMT leftover resin what to do?

Correct, resin is the end result of a chemical reaction, not a material like metal.

You could no more melt and re-use resin than you could melt a cake in order to retrieve the eggs, flour, sugar etc..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7636999.page GMT leftover resin what to do? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7637527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638146/7637527.page GMT leftover resin what to do?

As Azreal13 said - You can't just "melt down" resin to reuse it. It's not like polystyrene or ABS or metals.

You can use the chunks as "filler" in larger casts.

You can grind it down into powder and use THAT as filler in a new cast (in the same way you can use plain talc) - this is incredibly messy and pretty much requires a damn good respirator if you are going to do it. Otherwise you'll end up with a lungful of dust - and ALL DUST is bad if you breathe it in (and asbestos or silica dust is even worse).

You won't get anywhere near 20% of the price of FW stuff you bought for it (you might be lucky to get 10%). All the good resin workshops cut this crap off their castings. It's just extra mass you will be paying postage on anyway.
