    Default First time casting tips

    I have never cast anything in my life but want to start casting blanks. What kinds of tools (molds, ext) and materials (mold release, resin, ext) will i need? Do i need any expensive tools? Is it possible to use epoxy as a medium instead of resin? I don't want to buy anything too expensive in case I discover I don't like casting. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Use casting resin. To start of with you use paper mache molds. Then if you like it then you can use silicon mold's.
