I've been using Epodex products but they no longer sell to the UK. Can anyone recommend a suitable alternative water-clear, easy to use resin. I'm casting to less than 2 cm depth.

I'm guessing you mean epoxy resin for craft and suchlike?

If so my daughter will only use a brand called Sigwong, she makes loads of keyring and charms etc with silicone moulds that she sells to her friends. She's used other brands but always reverts back to this Sigwong due to it always turning out better apparently.

I think normally it's polyester resin for casting isn't it, as it tends to be clearer? If clarity is important and it's not tinted etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I've only done a few resin pieces.

Anyway, I just used resin online.
