GENERAL INFORMATION & RESIN COMPARISONS

The materials are in stock and are shipped within 1 to 2 days by UPS or regular truck. Slightly longer for large quantities or drums. Plan ahead because there are extra packing container costs to ship resins by air. East coast  takes 5 to 7 working days by truck.

We picked containers that are easy to use and safe. The quart and gallon plastic jugs are similar to the bleach bottle shape which makes for easy shaking and pouring (metal paint cans always leave residue in the can lip that dribbles down the side, so we know you do not want that type). The five gallon container is a heavy duty translucent, plastic, rectangle with an on/off pour spout. This makes it convenient to sit on its side while pouring without rolling off the table. We pack all these containers in boxes for shipping. Material Safety Data Sheets and basic information goes in or on the box.

Our resins are very thin, similar to water, not thick like some resins that have the consistency of cold honey. Most of our resins are mixed 50/50 by volume. This makes it easy to use 'as is' or when adding equal amounts of our fillers. The thin resins mix easily and give good reproduction detail, look at the pictures of castings in the brochure. The R1 FAST CAST® resins do not contain fillers, unless stated on the container or in the literature for a special formulation such as our 'PREMIX....'. You do not have to use a paint shaker or scrape the container bottoms to get fillers back into solution.

Usually, when you buy our 'PREMIX' resins containing fillers, the 5 gal. or 55 gal. drum kits are partially full to allow you to mix the resin/filler back into solution. Remember this when ordering because even though you may order a five gallon container, the yield cost may only be 4.5 gallons.

We have chosen high quality fillers to maintain good quality control with minimum rejects. These fillers can be added to our resins in different amounts or combinations depending on your needs. We recommend using only the best, we find that in the long (and short) run it saves time, labor and materials. We can advise you on the best system to use and provide tips for most jobs from start to finish. For test data information, refer to our brochure on Machineable Plastic and 'Resin Comparisons' sheet.

The materials we sell are NOT recommended for use in the home. For industrial use only. Keep out of the reach of children. Read all labels carefully before using. Read the Material Safety Data Sheet that comes with each material.
