Ok, I took the plunge and tried to cast my own blanks. The first two attempts were worse than a disaster. The third looked like it had a chance. I used the PR from Hobby Lobby, about 6-7 drps of hardener per ounce, poured it yesterday late in the afternoon. My molds were 1/2" pvc w/ caps. I vibrated them to get the bubbles out. I had to knock them out of the molds. They were pretty hard to get out. They looked good. They felt rubbery and soft. When I drilled them, they crumbled.
Does the resin brand make a difference?
Could I put in too much hardener? Is too little better?
I tinted one white and the other white w/ blue added. Can you add too much color?
I let it cure on the patio. Today it got to about 98 degrees. Would that effect it?
I would appreciate any ideas you have.
