| Creosotewind | Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon | Parked | 26-May-10 11:25 |  | | Views : 779 | | I found some new resin and, using PFinn and Frwyflyer's suggestions with injecting, rather than pouring the resin, I used this squeeze bottle. Worked well. The tip of the squeeze bottle is on the table. What looks like the tip on the bottle is actually dried resin. It doesn't stick to the bottle so I was able to remove it and reuse the bottle. |

| Creosotewind | Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon | Parked | 04-May-10 15:21 |  | | Views : 870 | | First time trying this. I got a really good mold. I used the Alumilite starter kit. About $30, with enough rubber to make one mold, and enough resin to make several small castings. |
