In this video, Milo shows how to rotocast a clear object using Crystal Clear™ 202 urethane resin. This is a great material for making clear castings and can be used for a variety of projects. This process is perfect for creating small, lightweight pieces that need to be durable and transparent and the finished casting looks almost exactly like glass.

Milo shows how to achieve a "glass-like" finish on a rotocast piece using Crystal Clear™ 202 clear urethane resin!

Is there a plastic that can be moulded that will stand up to extreme (heat, cold, UV sunlight/rays) conditions, like a replacement hood ornament on a car? Something that won't warp, breakdown.

That’s impressive that the thickness is so even despite the manual spinning. I thought the spinning had to be be done with a machine.

Hey There, Yes that is about what you would want. We were looking for a 4-5mm thickness for the final casting.

If this needed to be sanded to correct some imperfections can this plastic be polished to restore the clear appearance? Looks like just what I need for my project.

hi is this uv resistant? just curious, what’s the difference between urethane resin and epoxy resin?

@smoothon 4 ай бұрын

The Crystal Clear does have some UV inhibitors in it and will resist the UV exposure. If the piece is going to be outside make sure you have a material that will be heat resistant to the temperatures that the final piece will be exposed too. Urethane resin and Epoxy resins are two different chemical compositions. The Crystal Clear will be better with UV exposure than epoxy resins will be. You can always reach out to our technical support team with any questions. www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/

Can this be painted after it's cured, and how well will it do outdoors in the hot sun? Thank you if, those questions get answered I will buying some.

@smoothon 6 ай бұрын

It would depend on the exposure. Being a thin-walled casting, you would want to make sure that the piece is post-cured before display.

I've been using mold star 30 for ages, I always thought MS30 was not made for brush-on mold, I'm I right in assuming that you can use it in the same fashion as the rebound series, with THI-VEX ?

Rebound 25 will outperform Mold Star 30 in brush-on moldmaking applications.

We would recommend the mold was also made under pressure.

@douglascolman4501 Жыл бұрын

When you vacuumed the resin, what was the negative pressure in PSI?

Your vacuum chamber needs to pull down to 29 inches of mercury.

Would a hollow casting be possible with liquid plastic 300 using the same method?

@smoothon Жыл бұрын

Smooth Cast 300 has a "snap cure" which doesn't make it a great choice for rotocasting. WE would recommend our SMooth Cast 65D for a roto-castable white resin.

Yea, I'm going to keep using a sectional plug. I would really love to get the equipment for rotocasting so I could make vinyl figures, but no room for that monster. Also a note on rotocasting, the consistant speed and having three rotational axis is really important variable for casting.
