There it was right before I kickstarted the catalyst with a hair dryer. Colors have separated out nicely. Next pic should be right after ti's pulled from the mold. It's a small, thin slab. I should be able to pull me a Slim out of it.

Looks like you took the jump into casting. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Looking forward to seeing how it comes out as well! Make sure you take pictures after you cut it up before you turn it. Good luck!

Well you have done fell in the deep end. Take a deep breath and hold on. Now instead of turning everything you have you will wonder what it looks like dropped in resin.

I WAS waiting for the top to quit being all sticky. Now I gotta wait until I get home from my meeting.

Got it out of the mold, and it was still very rubbery. Tried to work with it, but it kinda crumbled. Back to square one. I still have pieces of it, but they're kinda scattered all over the shop. I think I just didn't use enough catalyst.

Here is the second blank curing. Maybe better luck will prevail.

Second blank is still curing, but I rescued enough of the first casting to make a bullet pen!!!

Maybe you can cast those pieces into some clear after they finally harden.

That's not a bad idea. I still have some scraps laying around. I DID get a pen out of that cast finally at least.
