20kg Special water clear casting resin (arts etc) and Catalyst (Synolite 0328-A-1). Kit contents 4 x 5kg Water Clear Casting Resin 4 x 100ml Catalyst Please note, due to the styrene content in this Resin, it does have a strong odour. It should be used and stored in a well-ventilated area. This water clear casting resin is used for embedding and preserving biological and medical specimens. It can also be used for making paperweights and decorative objects, such as costume jewellery. Because of its water-white appearance when cured it can be used to create water effects such as streams or waterfalls by modellers. Catalyst addition is 1.5% giving a pot life of approx. 20 minutes. After pouring the resin, we recommend leaving the piece in one place for 4-5 days to allow the resin to cure effectively. This resin is UV stabilised, meaning it can be used for outdoor use and projects which will be kept in the garden e.g. pebble displays or waterfalls. If doing multiple pours of clear casting resin, great care should be taken in regards to the heat that is generated with each pour. Before each pour, it is best to ensure the first pour has cooled (and is cool to the touch) before adding the next batch of resin.

On the whole the quality of the product is fantastic, I have been using the Water Clear Casting Resin for years and it really does set water clear. However. Recently every 20kg batch I have brought have contained little solid yellow lumps and imperfections. Some of which are easy to fish out, however some of these bits remain chear until the hardener is added and are only noticeable after the resin has cured. This is a total nightmare when attempting to create a blemish free outcome. Real shame on the whole as the product is great beside this.
