Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast Epoxy vs Craft Resin 1:1 Epoxy Resin
Buy Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast if you need deep pours, heat resistance or strength: it pours to 3/8 inch per layer, handles up to 400°F and cures to 80 Shore D at 8,000 psi tensile. Buy CRAFT RESIN if you mostly coat flat art, fill molds and make coasters, where its thinner 1,400 cps formula flows into detail and releases bubbles more easily. Alumilite has the longer track record with makers of pen blanks and bar tops; CRAFT RESIN's very high rating comes from a much larger base of crafters doing shallow decorative pours. Neither is a deep-cast river-table resin.
- Choose the Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast if you pour thicker layers, turn pens, coat bar tops or need the higher heat and strength figures.
- Choose the CRAFT RESIN if you make coasters, trays, jewelry and flood-coated artwork and want a thinner resin that flows into molds and lets bubbles out.
