Brand New and looking for advice
Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2015 2:18 am
Hello there,
I am UK based and have been reading this forum and watching a few youtube videos for some time now and it's high time I actually got going with resin casting, rather than just thinking about it!
I intend to do some basic recasting of existing items, ranging from pieces up to 25cm x 9cm x 4cm down to shoulder pads.
I will also be casting from new 3D scuplts and new base designs.
I'm onboard with the need to have a pressure pot configured for both vacuum and pressure, but would like some pointers as to where best to buy the required equipment from.
e.g., is this a good setup at a good price? http://www.pressurepots.co.uk/resin-mou ... nk-10.html
What spec vacuum pump is required?
I have a compressor from an air-brush setup; will this suffice, or do I need more dedicated gear?
The more advice the better, and rest assured this is something I intend to see through.
I've already got a range of items on the bench waiting to be covered in silicone!
Thanks in advance.
