Thread: Casting resin

Greg, that seems very expensive

4kg of Clear Casting Resin at Barnes is $66, Quality Casting Resin $55.

At Nuplex (formerly FGI) they are $60 and $50 respectively.

Also, putting 4kg of PR in a 20litre drum is not good practice as it tends to go off much quicker with a small quantity in a big container (exposed to a lot more air)

I buy MEKP (catalyst) in 500gram containers for $19, it doesn't go off and is much cheaper than buying in 50gram lots ($6.50)

500 grm of catalyst wil do a lot of PR.

I also think it was a bit rich, my last lot of 4 litres was from memory 65 or 68 bucks.

I also have been getting stuff from the same source ,but if thats the new prices I know where my next lot is coming from o43 turning now stock a range of casting products including pearlex and the mold making stuff, and kieth is only 5 minutes from me hehe, cheers ~ John

Yeah greg I bought some from Mark at 043turning and it only cost around $60 to $65 and it come in a pour tin and it works great. so I am thinking that ninety is a bit stiff.


Cheers Ian

I must apologise. I typed in $90 when it should have been $60. The 4kg of resin and 100ml of catalyst cost me $63.72. Plus the fact they put in extra resin for me at no cost. That's why I was praising Nuplex. I must be dyslexic. Anyway I got a very good deal from Nuplex and I would recommend them. Sorry about the mistake.

Apology accepted LOL. Sounds like a good deal at the end of the day.
