Today was just generally a day when nothing went quite right, so I didn't have a chance to go buy new resin stuff and all sorts of other things just went ever so slightly wrong.
BUT! I haven't fully given up on the EasyCast resin. I noticed that some parts of it are harder than others, so it may just be a lack of patience on my part. I'll give'em a few more days. I'm still going to try some stuff from the Smooth-On product line though.
Unfortunately, the stuff that looks most ideal requires two things that are mutually exclusive for me -- either temperature control or good ventilation. My only option for good ventilation is going outside, where it is reliably both too chilly and too damp for any of these resins. But, the one I linked to may work.
I'm a little dubious about it having difficulties with temperatures above 115 degrees, since it's pretty easy for hot tap water to exceed that and I'd rather not have the scales be super delicate that way. The answer, as always, is experiments.
Hell, I even started looking into what it takes to mold polycarbonate.-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.
