This is exactly what I was looking for. I used to make models with Biresin G26, but couldn't find the transparent version. This seems to be it. Incredible!

Thanks for this useful series of videos. Your website provides detailed specifications for all your resins and these videos provide additional help in choosing the correct one.
I've been casting in (mostly polyester) resin for 30 years. Like you, I use lollipop sticks for stirring. After literally 1000s of mixes throughout all those years, a simple improvement belatedly occurred to me - cut off one rounded end of the stick to make it flat-ended. One snip with a decent pair of wire cutters will do it. Then it's MUCH easier and faster to scrape the bottom and corners of your mixing container. Try it. It's really worth it.

Hi Steve, thanks for the comment, We shall give your tip a try.

Hi Steve, just wondering if you can advise if this stuff will bond two pieces of plastic together (like an adhesive) ?

[@estelletester6571]

Hi, wonder if you could advise on bubbles? I’m mixing as instructed but each and every time I’m getting lots of bubbles? Really frustrating! Thanks

[@MBFibreglass]

You can keep large bubbles down by mixing and pouring carefully, to get rid of the micro bubbles it would need to be placed in a vacuum chamber, but easier said that done with a short potlife resin

[@ShrutiIngole-yb9up]

How much exactly time does it take to start casting and settle down?

[@MBFibreglass]

potlife is quite fast at 2mins to 2.30 mins (based on 200g mix at room temp), the longer you leave it in the mixing pot the thicker the material becomes so ideally mix and pour as soon as possible. Once its poured into the mould this resin will generally reach a handling state within about 30 minutes.

Will this stuff bond two pieces of plastic together? (Like adhesive)?

[@MBFibreglass]

this is a casting resin, unlikely to be a good adhesive

[@michaelmckenna14]

is this pretty strong stuff like could it be used for 6mm thick window panels ?

[@MBFibreglass]

Hi, this isn't water clear but it could be used to create 6mm panels and it would be strong, its not uv resistant however so it will discolour in sunlight relatively quickly.
