What resin to use and where to get it in Holland?

Post by MichelB »

In light of Epinniger's recent endeavors, I'm thinking about casting myself. Having looked around, I can't really find out which sort of resin to use, or which other materials, and more specifically, where in the Netherlands (or Belgium/Germany) to get them.
Can someone enlighten me?

I ordered mine from Mikromark. Perhaps not the cheapest, but I didn't really want to search for a good 1:1 resin and 1:1 mould material. I do advise you to look for 1:1 ratio materials. This saves considerable disappointment when making small batches..

I checked the shipping rates, holy casting! That's 55 dollars for a 65 dollars order. I think I may have to seriously consider waiting till I get a decent job.

You could try 4D in London, http://www.modelshop.co.uk. I use the Smooth On 300 which is fine, best thing is probably send them and email and ask about price for delivery but this is about 30 euros.
