    Default Casters

    Just wondering if any of you have done any casting in glass. I cast mills and found some glass tubes with bottom that would be perfect for casting resin and wood but wondering about the release.
    Thanks

    Not me. I'd be worried about it breaking on release/getting cast out, even with release agents, depending on the resin and if is cast under pressure. I'd be using those tubes for the inside of a cast or turn item, for bud vases etc.

    Plenty if other cheap mold materials around without the risk. Timber, malemine, cutting board, and one I am playing with at the moment is plastic corflute 5mm panels
