Resin Addict Forum

Hi there, I am new to the group and looking for some advice on casting. I need some suggestions for tutorials/lessons etc... how to get started when you have NO idea what the heck you are supposed to do.

I am looking to make moulds for my own work that is usually in polymer, wax, metal, and sometimes natural materials (bark, leaves,etc). I know how to make basic ones (one sided lol) but I have no idea how to make more complex ones that represent both sides of my work.

I feel silly asking such a basic question when you are all obviously seriously into this hobby.. but it never hurts to ask.

I would love to find some video (dvd lol) lessons if they even exist as I do better with that style of learning.

Thanks,
Pep

Hi Pep, welcome to RA!

What are the items you want to cast? Jewellery or display pieces? The basic casting experience you have is a good start! What silicone and resin products have you been using?

A lot of the information you're after can be found in the subforum, but to answer your specific requests we have:

- A post of recommended Youtube videos:
- Split moulds for casting both sides of an object:
- Oh and Jon's extensive casting tutorial:

Don't feel silly asking questions: we all had to start somewhere!
