Looking to try to cast my own, have bought clear casting resin before. Is this the same stuff or is there a different resin I should look for?
Around here MIchaels has it for about $20.00 a quart not inclucing the hardnerOriginally posted by gerryr
<br />I don't know what shipping costs, but if there's a Michael's near you you might give them a try.

Has anybody figured out how many blanks a gallon of resin will make? I know this will vary depending on waste, but I'd be interested in seeing what the cost per blank is when a gallon is $33.

If you are in the DFW area, I can get it for $118 for 5 gallons. They actually sell it by the pound, but that what it comes out to. Five gallons is the minimum though.
For a 3/4"x6" blank you use almost 3oz of resin, maybe more like 2.5-2.75 oz. I mix 6oz of resin + 4 drops per oz of MEKP, + Teaspoon of Pearl, 10-30 drops of tint (typically).
