Here's my first PR casting done using .44 cents Christmas Postage stamps.
The mold use was a Thepenwizard by Joe Swall Gatsby Mold and I must say using this design with rubber stoppers on the ends of tubes is the ticket, Nice mold can't wait to try my cigar mold next, Comments welcome !!!:biggrin:

I just ordered a cigar mold from him and have never done any casting. Yours looks great, what did you use for the resin(or whatever it is) and where did you get it.

peter it came from www.woodturnerscatalog.com its call cast a kit
also www.woodnwhimsies.com sells it
When casting be patient let it dry down and cure drying time is base on temp/humin.
When I cast its was 69 degrees w/40% hum dry / cure time was 24 hrs.
and i use 4 drops of hardner per 1-0z. of casting goodluck !!!differenence between woodnwhimsies vs woodturners you can buy kit w/o meas.cup/stick/gloves @woodnwhimsies
