Wow, I blink and several months have gone by. We've been crazy busy in the shop as we work to keep the new products in stock. Thank you for supporting our small business and helping us keep American made products like our pen kits alive!
As part of bringing back the M3 Material, and converting it to Urethane, we worked closely with Thermoset Solutions who developed 2 new resin products specifically for our needs. The first of those was a specialized resin for M3, but the 2nd one was similar to another urethane we used, with a few improvements. We asked them if we could get a few things:
1. Slightly longer open time
2. Better UV Resistance
3. Same hardness and price
They delivered... and in a big way. We've poured about 1,000lbs of this resin so far. In fact, if you've bought from us in the past several months you probably turned this resin. We like it so much we're going to do something I never thought we'd do... Sell casting resin to other makers.
Now through March 15th we'll be taking pre-orders for the CSD2078 casting resin. There will be a 5% discount on the preorders. It's not a huge discount, but we're already aggressively priced compared to the comparable product. This urethane is still a 1:1 by weight product, has full technical details available on our website, and has been THOROUGHLY tested by ourselves and others. We expect to ship the resin the week of the 17th.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have! I've attached the datasheet to this post and it's on our website as well.
