Today, while looking around in an artist's supply shop, I came across some very cheap packets of resin (in lumps, kinda like pieces of resin rubble). Well anyway, as I've never worked with resin as in making moulds and casting, I thought that there must be some way of using this... Can some one please help or at least point me to a link that can give me some answers. I really want to start some simple production of resin pieces like bedrolls,backpacks and other thingies to dangle off the side of vehicles.... Thanx, Jim

What's the name? And is it hard or soft and pliable?

No experience with resin rubble
I think I've pointed out this article before

Thanx, slodder, that is just what I needed although I'm still puzzled about these packs of "resin rubble".......Jim

Cool, glad to help, I'll poke around and see if I can see what resin rubble could be used for.
It sounds like it might be some type of thing like the EZ Water stuff - heat it/melt it and pour it in a mold.

Slodder, thanx again, i'll probably buy a packet and see what happens... it's only about 50 cents(euros) around 60cents U.S. so I suppose I can't go wrong, the guy in the shop said they had had it since time immemorial so.......Jim
