FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! Regular PR!!!!

[Drstrangefart]

Annnnd we finally picked up a can of PR for me to monkey with. This is from the first pair of blanks I cast, shaker table worked great, PR was thin enough for the pour to go great, bubbles weren't an issue anymore and I had fun messing with all of it. I got 5 more blanks cast today, 2 are on reserve for a wedding set when I can order some Zen kits, and the others I plan on having some fun with soon. The pigment is so much easier to work with now that I'm back in a clear medium.

It was not branded, they had it at Micheal's. I'd have to go look to see who makes it. It's probably Castin' Craft. I hope to be offering up blanks for sale once I get a few more details worked out.

I like the no centerband.

The blank looks great

Yeah it's probably castin craft resin. But you did a great job with the cast Allan. Looks great. Any reverse painting with this one?

Nope. No reverse paint. I probably went a little too heavy on the red, but I was used to getting the color right in fiberglass resin. When I re-cast this later, less red more gold.

Nice, like the no center band.
Could you please explain the shaker table you refer to in a previous post.
Thanks

It's just a modified dead CD player motor with some off-center weight. Shakes the table pretty heavily to work any bubbles back out. I should have a link to the video posted in an earlier thread.
