Hi, does anybody ever use Kicromark Resin i recently order this resin and i am wondering if anyone of you guys can give advice or overview about this product.

Thanks

I use it quite a bit.
It's easy to use - you mix equal parts of resin and catalyst. It is very 'workable' and holds paint well.

My recommendations for use are:
1. Gently stir both parts separately before you pour out anything from the bottles. The darker material will settle over time and I found that a nice gentle stir (tip over/rotate a few times) helps. Let any bubbles settle out before moving on.
2. Once you mix the two equal parts stir VERY well. Mix them completely. Its a bit hard to tell because they are both 'clear' and they dont change color or anything to give a good impression.

3. There is a shelf life to them. They say about a year and they're right, they start to get goopie and result in poor quality parts after about 15 months on the shelf.

Thank´s for the advice. i´ll try it and hope get great results, besides is my first attemp using resin.

I started out with the micromark set and it gave me a good start with resin casting my own peices..

A couple of tips..

when putting the lids back on the bottles make sure you clean the threads on the resin bottles very well before resealing or they will be very hard to remove later after they have set on the self awhile..

Accurcy in measuring is also helpfull I bought more of those mini measuring cups like you see on cough medicine bottles at a craft store.

Learning to pour the resin in the molds without getting bubbles takes practice..

And as for the Shelf Life they are not kidding after about a year or so I noticed that what I had left over on the shelf just kinda went bad.........

But all in all it is a good system to get a person started in casting.

Also when mixing resin and casting my parts I almost always made a "little" to much resin.. so I always had a empy prepared mold ready with just general parts such as packs or ammo boxes or such general storage to pour my extra resin in so it wouldn't go to waste.

Good reminder Delbert...

The way I measure the stuff is to take two clear plastic 'dixie' cups the small bathroom one - clear are best. I hold thier sides together evenly, I take a marker and push it between the two where they come together thus marking both at the same place.

Also for pouring the resin - I use this trick, take a coffee stir stick and insert one end down into your mold, then pour down the stick (outside of it if ifs hollow) the resin will ooz down the outside smoothly and evenly and spread very well at the bottom. Slowly move the bottom end of the stick around to fill from the bottom up.
