How to Choose a Starter Kit for Large Castings
- Size and thickness of the board: check the internal dimensions of the mould and the recommended casting height in the description.
- Resin volume: for larger projects, work with an accurate estimate of the volume (you'll save material and avoid overheating).
- Layering: for a clean and safe result, it is advisable to pour in layers according to the recommendations for the resin used.
- Extra tools: cups with markings, wider stirrers and a non-stick mat are useful for clean work.
- Final finish: some kits also include the basics for sanding and polishing edges and surfaces.

Quick guide for the first large board
- Prepare a flat work surface and mould/frame; check with a spirit level.
- Accurately measure and slowly mix the resin (scrape the walls and bottom of the cup).
- Pour in the recommended layer thickness (this will reduce bubbles and unwanted heating).
- Release bubbles carefully (skewer, light blow of warm air from an increased distance).
- Cover to protect from dust and allow to harden according to the instructions; clean any edges after hardening.
