Casting question

[MartinPens]

I looked on YouTube to find a video on pr casting using Silmar41 but was surprised to find very little. Can someone point me in a good direction to find a video. Things are just so much clearer to me if I can watch an example.

Also, where do you go to get your mix in powders? Is there a thread that sort of compiles needed supplies and sources? Just trying to up on the curve as I dive into this. Thanks

I was told coastalscents.com was THE PLACE to get your mica powders. I have purchased several from them and have been very happy with the service.

Martin,

This is a good thread to start with for supplies:

+1 for IAP member Grub32's videos on youtube, they are excellent!

I would also recommend member ZanderPommo's videos ....not JUST because Emma (emmwittle on IAP) is a real cutie either :wink::biggrin:

There is a past thread from Zanderpomo that had video's. you should be able to find it with a search.

Martin:
Coastal Scents is a great place to get mica pearl. Just keep your wife off of the site as their main products are makeup.

Additionally, Hobby Lobby and Michaels here have PearlEX. I really like the PearlEx better than Coastal Scents, EXCEPT you get twice as much CS Mica for less than half the price of PearlEx. With the exception of one or two colors these products are very nearly the same.

I bought a 5 pound can of Douglas and Sturgis white, because by adding it you can make the translucent colors opaque.

I use a LOT of white.
