Genial

Wow!

What flavor is the pudding/gelee?

Seriously now, will you keep in the container or remove it from there?

It is out of the container Francesco I need to cut the lip away from the cast But that would mean lots and lots of sanding and polishing

[Polux]

Hi Ian.

I asking myself...is easy to sand this kind of product? Leave marks or lose the transparency? :eek:

Polux

They say it can be sanded Polux as you would a canopy. I'm a little nervous to try it but I think I need to get rid of the lip left by the carton I used for the mould

 

[Polux]

Good luck Ian!!

Handle with care, like a baby....

 

[monica]

i think you can cut it back useing a jigsaw with a fine blade,or buy hand with a coping /fine blade then sand it back,

and finely use wet/dry to get the shine back in, or ever give it a touch up with some resin painted on :rolleyes:

hope that some help

 

[Ian M]

The name of that resin would be worth knowing...

The clarity is great and it didn't turn it into a blob!

Great work!

Ian M

 

[monica]

if you still have left over resin that you made the cast from use that, as as you saying some think else may meld it into a blob :oops:

best would be to test it on a bit off ,of cut and see how it go,s 1st or if it will bond with the other resin you used
