Anger management 2: step by step

Bio-mimicry castings

G-10 samples

Raising Day 2

It's always a good idea to read the warning labels

I was so excited to used this new resin that just jumped right in. About half way through my second batch I noticed that the resin started getting warm. I figured it was starting to cure and let off some heat. a few seconds later I touched the resin and it pretty much burned me. It then started to smoke and melt through the plastic container it was in. It hardened almost instantly. The chunk of resin was still giving off heat an hour later.

Long story short: read the warning labels. 

More G-10 stuff

I finally got West System resin. It's like 4 times as expensive as the stuff I was using but it really is worth it. It is a lot easier to work with and it finishes much nicer.
