For Christmas I asked for a 2 gallon set of Alumilite crystal clear casting resin. So far I have not had much luck with it. It seems that it boils and foams if you put anything in it. I tried pine cones and it foamed. Today I tried dry white rice and it foamed up. If I don't use presure it comes out full of bubbles. The part "A" is very thick, about twice the thickness of corn syrup.
I am using pearl x pigments and have never had a problem with this before..could I have gotten a bad batch of alumilite? Is it a temp thing (I keep it in the house and heat up the shop before I use it) I have tried using it in the resin saver molds but it seems to lose adhesion with the tubes.
Here is a pic of todays casting cluster @#$%
Thanks in advance
