Latest Home Cast Blank

[Brooks803]

My Fiance and I have been having alot of fun mixing together some blanks lately. This is a mix I did earlier today and already have one hot off the lathe. MM to 12000, Buffed with Tripoli and White Diamond, PlastX polish, and a coat of Ren Wax. As always any comments/questions appreciated!

Thanks! I'm using Castin' Craft PR. If me and my fiance are gonna get into doing mutiple casts I think I'll switch to Similar 41 for the better price per gallon. The description I read says it pours a blue color but cures clear. Could anyone who already uses this let me know if that blue makes your color mixing difficult?

You too seem to mix well together -- I guess it's a good thing you're getting married.

The Silmar is different than the CC in just about every way, but it's a good different. You only see the blue tint in the can, once it's in the mixing container, you can't see it. No, it doesn't make it any harder to color it.
