    Default Epoxy Pen Casting Resins

    Hi all,
    can someone recommend a decent epoxy resin to cast pen blanks ... clear, hard enough to polish fairly shiny.... pressure cast ok, prefer no post heat cure....., available in Aust...

    Not sure what there like with colour mixing .. hoping similar to the Urethanes ...

    I've only done a few pens with it so far, but this stuff has been working pretty well for me so far!

    The US pen folks seem to be getting very excited about 'liquid diamonds', and aldax has started stocking it here in AU. I've ordered some to try but it hasn't arrived yet.
