Hi All This is a casting kit from MBFG that includes casting resin and silicon resin to make moulds along with some mixing cups, wooden stirrers and gloves they do 3 sets and this one is the largest. The polyester resin is mixed in equal amounts and the silicon at a ratio of 1 part catalyst to 10 parts silicon. Ages ago I used the DMC casting kit but there not available now [ well I cant find the website anymore] which was a good set but I soon ran out of casting material as you always need more than you think to make moulds. So now im using this set, no instructions are included with the set but there are several books on the website along with downloadable PDF'S if needed for the product in question. Also there are loads of how to's on You tube that will explain all. http://www.mbfg.co.uk/category-186.html
I have a special project in the pipeline for the new year and this casting kit will be used to cast several of the parts but more on that in the new year.

Hi Derek Glad to be of help, the one small bit of advice I can give is that you never have enough silicon rubber to make the moulds but you can buy more if you need it. Regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
