Smooth on also has a rubber molding material. That is what I use. I may post a tutorial on that also.

Awesome tutorial! I've never had the courage to try out resin casting before, but now, I might as well do. Thumbs up!

Do you generally know about how much to use beforehand? How would you go about deciding that so you don't use too much?

I usually just estimate. you can pour water into the mold first and empty that into a cup and then try to divide that in half if you want, but if you waste a little bit by mixing too much, it's not the end of the world!

is there any way to make it transparent or is it just opaque?

this is for liquid plastic. transparent resin is a different type of resin!

Is iit possible to add dyes to the mix or is it better to just paint over it afterwards?

It is possible to use dyes, check smooth on's website, I just personally have only painted it!

Which Smooth-Cast did you use for this? o: There are a few kinds, aren't there? Thanks! ^^

I think the only differences in the numbers is how long it takes to cure.. I remember smooth on having a chart of some kind that tells you that info! For these I used 300.

hi thanks for the info I find very useful, but two questions:
1. for color, some dye is added to the resin mixture? or painted?
2. molds, in which material can be made?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's painted, and the other question is answered in the description!

You can buy dye, though, but I haven't personally used it! check smooth on's website

Can the resin get expensive? I'm ah...a bit of a low budget, haaa...<|D
