    Resin is a pain like that, it will find the smallest pin hole. After I gave my lathe and workshop floor a coating of resin I learnt to always place a plastic container underneath. I use bluetak and/or tape often to well the resin, but you have to be so sure your seal is good.

    The casting resin is completely clear whereas some fibreglass resins can be opaque.

    Thumbs up Catalyst control

    I have brought my resin supplies from Polymer Daystar in Victoria and found the people their really have wealth of info about resin casting etc. For accurate catalyst adding I was supplied a thing called, wait for it, a "Catalist dispenser". This is a "technical" name for what I think is otherwise called a "Pippet" which is similar to the thing you would to dispense eye or ear drops with. It has markings on the outside to indicate how much has been drawn up into it (in ml). Very simple and inexpensive too.

    Default Syringes

    I bought some non-sterile syringes from Livingstone first aid supplies on the internet. they only cost 8 cents for 3 & 5ml units.
    The 60ml syring is 61 cents (now thats a syringe!)
    Also wooden tongue depressors are $1.32 for 100 and they make great mixing paddles/applicators

    Thumbs up Wests Resin

    HI Guys
    I have had great results from Wests Resin from Carba Tec - have poured & filled some pretty big holes (ant eaten & bark inclusions)
    Haven't used the sawdust idea, cos I like to make a feature of the resin in the piece.
    Have used dyes to colour the resin for effect - gold, white, black.......
    The dyes need to be compatible - got them from Barnes Moulding & Casting Supplies - for their addresses go here:
    http://www.barnesproducts.com.au/barnescontact.htm
    Here are a couple of pieces where I used the resin. The 2 burl pieces are clear resin, the purple heart has white dye. The white looks a bit like Ivory....
    Have fun
    Peter
