Polyester Casting Part 1

In this video, I will begin the process of showing how to cast pen blanks using polyester resin. I will make a blank that has a solid color with a black pearl color tint.

Nice video but one important step missed no hardner added to the resin, so how did you get it to harden?

I'm glad I'm not the only person who calls that place Wally World. ;-) I use rice instead of water to measure volumes -- Much easier to clean up. Nice tutorial!

When you get to it, emphasize the OV/P95 and eye protection when adding MEKP. The crosslinking process is _nasty_.

so glad to know the michaels resin is polyester. i've been looking for polyester for a while, for refinishing guitars, and didn't know i could get it locally. i had seen the michaels resin but didn't know if it was polyester or not.
