im thinking of copying parts for a die cast restoration by liquid resin and have absolutly no idea, 1where to get the stuff from,(in the uk), and, 2 whats the best way to copy parts? its a rocket "bell" thruster so is not too complex , but im thinking of making more complex stuff later. and with this post ive made the ton! SHOWTIME 100!!!! #:-)

It is funny you mentioined it because I am looking for basiclly the same thing. I need to copy a bucnh of diffrent things but not for die cast but I need to copy a bunch of equipment. I need to know what to get to make the mold and what to cast it with. Plus I need to know where and what exactly to get.....sorry no help but I am in the same boat!!

Place where I get my casting supplies (in the US) is Micromark.com. They have a resin casting starter set ($70) that has just about everything you will need to get you going. It is item # 82698. If the price is too steep you can always get what you need separately.

Hope this helps.

Hi there

There are two good places that I use in the UK:

http://www.tiranti.com and http://www.modelshop.co.uk

Both carry a wide range of resins and RTV rubber. The staff are helpful and can advise you on what best suits your needs.

All the best

Here in the US you can get a starter set from Smooth-On for around $30.00. http://www.smooth-on.com
