UV casting resin
apophenia:
Cool technique ... thanks for sharing.
If the resin yellows as it cures from the inside, could that curing process effect paintwork? If so, how long would it take until the resin was completely cured?
Frank3k:
I'm sure the resin is cured - it's just that exposure to UV tends to affect the clear resin (extra curing?), turning it yellow.
Kerick:
Unfortunately when I glued the resin parts I made to the plastic part I used as a master the resin part appeared to have shrunk a couple of millimeters. Something to keep in mind during future use. It’s usable but will require more PSR than I had hoped.

That sucks but, as you say, let's you know how to plan around shrinkage in the future.
Frank: Thanks for the explanation. So, once painted over, no more UV concerns :smiley:
