Postage Stamp Gatsby Pen First Cast

louie56 · 10-04-2010, 08:39 AM

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 !!!

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.
