Equipment and Tutorials

[woodtreker]

Okay... I am just about ready to jump into the world of casting... I plan to start soon but want to spend time absorbing information and securing my equipment BEFORE I start...

I am going to secure a pressure paint pot from Habor Freight but I have questions...

1. What other equipment might I need for casting? Good source for this?
2. Who is a good resouce for the resin?
3. Do you know where on the site tutorials are located that go through the whole process?
4. What about molds... any ideas???

Thanks so much for the help...

There's tons of info in this forum. Someone posted almost this same question less than a week ago. Just do a little reading, it's all been typed before.

Library, do a search or just go by year. In 2007 is an article for setting up a pot.

Also, check out youtube.com . Grub32 from here posted an EXCELLENT video tutorial in 4 parts on there, really answered a bunch of questions that I had. The library has great info, but I'm a have to see it kind of guy, and this really cleared up some things that just couldnt penetrate my thick, dense skull when reading.

My standard reply to questions like yours is to take a look through my Color library . You should also include the IAP library and Grub32's youtube videos as well.
