I’m looking for a community about epoxy and urethane resin casting. I’m just starting out and have some questions. I’ll also take referrals to outside forums.

    I do resin casting as it pertains to dice. Sadly, I have not found any communities where I am not the only poster.

    I know of some dicemaking discords, but you might need to poke your head into Reddit (blasphemy to some here) and find external links from one of their communities.

    As to basic questions for small scale casting (even my big pours are under 100ml), I am happy to answer.

      That’s unfortunate. I’m trying to figure out what resin would be best for making small- medium sized figures and statues. Like 5-18 inches. I’m looking for something that isn’t as brittle as 3D printer Resin which usually has a shore hardness of 70. So I don’t know if I need to go higher up the scale or lower and more flexible.

        I would look up Reynolds Advanced Materials (they make Smooth-On). They cater to prop makers.

          I took a look, unfortunately I can’t order online and there isn’t a store near me :(

            At the very least, they have technical specs for their resins.
