How To Use Amazing Clear Cast Resin

Product Description

Amazing Clear Cast Resin is an easy to use epoxy resin which does a brilliant job both as a casting and a pouring/coating resin!

A clear casting resin which works well for both thin coats and deeper casts. T he Amazing Clear Cast Epoxy Resin is a fantastic product which allows you to create all sorts of projects; from coating photos and drawings, paintings and paper crafts, and filling bottle tops, to casting blanks, large bangles and paper weights. The ideal resin for both resin crafts, resin jewellery making and wood turning.

Easy to use - ideal for beginners to resin crafts, jewellery making, pen blanks and turning. Just mix equal amounts of the two parts.
Does both thick layers and thin coatings - it is rare to find a resin which does both well!
Casts into a multitude of mould types.
Nice long work time, 45-50 minutes.
Ready to remove out of the mould in about 18-24 hours.

The Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast Epoxy Resin mixes in equal ratios (1:1 by volume) so very easy to measure up equal amounts of both parts.

Works perfectly with our resin moulds, with no release agent needed (however, release agents are a good way to extend the life of your mould). Can also be cast into plaster, aluminium, latex and urethane moulds if a mold making release (like Vaseline) is used.

Don't use water based dyes or colours with this resin. Our Alumilite Dyes are ideal (which come in a huge range of colours including fluorescent neon colours!), as well as any dry colours, like Pearl Ex.

For high quality metal effects, use the Alumilite Metal Powders, which comes in most metals you might want like; pearlescent, bronze, gold, copper and silver.For a glow in the dark effect, use the Phosphorescent Powder!

Can be sanded, wet sanded, and/or buffed.

This kit will cover approximately 2-4 sq.ft. if used as a coating. Amazing Clear Cast works best if cast in less than 3/8" thickness, for thicker pieces, it is best to do it in layers.

Volume/weight comparison:
470ml is 16 US fl.oz.
This resin has a weight of 500 grams.

Mix ratio: 1:1 by volume
Work time: 45-50 min
Demould time: 18-24 hours. For deeper casts, allow 24-48 hours.

Approx 470ml (16 fl. oz.) - This resin is also available in a larger size (7.5 litres) here.

Please note: To help with thickness, keep the Alumilite Clear Cast at a minimum of 21°C or heat the thick side in a bowl of hot tap water for 30 minutes prior to use. The thicker ACC is poured, the cloudier it can be. For thicker castings, multiple pours of 6mm - 16mm approximately 4 hours apart is recommended.

TOP TIP FOR STORAGE: Keep the caps of each resin bottle on tight at all times. Even during use, pour out what you need, then put the caps back on immediately until your next use. This will keep your resin in good working condition for as long as possible.

Amazin Clearcast Resin

Posted by john oborn on 28th Oct 2019

Very easy to use, with a 1:1 mixing ratio, and sets crystal clear. Some problems with air bubbles, but can be reduced by stirring slowly and carefully and leaving the mix standing for 5 or ten minutes before pouring. A bit pricy, but it does go quite a long way.

It's alright

Posted by Jimmy van der Eng on 12th Oct 2018

It works but I'm not too impressed with the hardness. It's too weak and flexible when you mix 1:1 in my opinion.

My feeling about my "first" order at metalclay

Posted by Gérard camelis on 12th Mar 2018

Very glad of my first order, fast delivery and matching quite to the order. This quality product, quite easy to use, had been recommended to me by Carl Jacobson, professional wood turner. In the end no bad surprise, on the contrary good and only good. The turning of Alumilite resin is no problem (no bursting, no pieces) and the finish can be perfect (for me to learn and perfect my work!) Thanks for all Lacey and thanks also to Mr Don Fowler from METAL CLAY LTD. DORSET, ENGLAND who redirected me to you. Gérard Camélis
