Alumilite Mini Casting Kit Review

I have been building models for many years and sometimes I need to cast my own parts. I had one of these a few years ago and thought it would make a great starter kit. I had to stop building for a while and when it came time to start again I just ordered a different starter kit instead of buying individual parts and mixes. I haven't tried any other resin casting products and didn't have to. This kit is just perfect and does the job for me.

The plastic master model can be released with the appropriate spray, but the trigger must be more reliable for the resin master model or for separating the two halves of the silicone mold.

Mainly because it adds ALL the "A" and "B" parts in opposite proportions. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone who doesn't…

Whether you just need to cast one piece or just want to try sculpting and casting a piece in resin, this kit is for you. All the necessary materials are there, the instructions are good, it is quite easy to use. I used the kit to shape a small piece I wanted for the model I was building and it worked fine. My only issue with this set is that it is designed and intended to be used by all products at the same time. The instructions say to mix the entire bottle of catalyst with the entire…
