    I would not trust an Ebay source for resins, you have no idea of how old it is, and they do go off. Also, the one you have chosen is for fibreglass, so will discolour with age.

    Better to get clear casting resin, I get mine from fgi and the have a store in WA in Canning Vale

    I buy mine from Barnes Products, the folks in the Brisbane store are great. And as previously said, clear casting resin is the way to go.

    Ian Bunnings also sell a clear casting resin you have to ask for the hardener sold seperate.

    Small warning Ian, insurance co's frown on large amounts of this stuff laying around it is highly flammable and thats with out a naked flame when being mixed. I have seen the results of to hot a resin mix
