Hotrock Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Alrighty dudes I've just been outside of the office for a quick and found....... ......50 litres of polyueratane resin Before I decide to steel some, is it suitable for guitars? It's some tough stuff, we use it for jointing cables that have 11,000 Volts running through them. Dries clear too Quote
Kevan Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Man, that is some caustic stuff. Be VERY careful when working with it- use gloves and a ventilator/mask. All of the clear casting resins are goopy and messy and will positively ruin your manicure. Don't forget that you'll need to nab some of the catalyst as well. The catalyst is used to harden and/or dry the resin. What am I talking about? Don't steal it! Ask your co-workers to show you how much fun it is to play with. That will probably change your mind quickly. Quote
Hotrock Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Posted September 28, 2004 Yeah man, it's some real dangerous nasty stuff Unfortunately I don't think it's going to suitable, been watching someone joint some cables today and it's a sort of unexpected sand/dissentry colour Never mind I'll have to find something else. Now where's that Benzene Quote
Kevan Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 No doing shots of MEK on company time! If you want something cool to work with that's just "kinda caustic", check out polyester resin. It's still gnarly stuff (wear your brothers clothes when working with it), but a little more 'beginner friendly'. Done correctly, the mold will come out totally clear. Quote
Hotrock Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Posted September 29, 2004 Yeah, my old mans playing with that stuff at the moment. i think polyester resin is the same stuff as casting resin Oh well, I'll just have to make do with stealing pencils Quote
Maiden69 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Polyester resin is the same thing as BONDO for auto. It also comes in a liquid sprayable that is use to build up layers faster than with primer and it sets smooth to ease the pain of sanding. Quote
Hotrock Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Posted September 29, 2004 It comes in big buckets with a seperate hardener too Quote
