Is there a specific spot to ask about resin casting parts?

[54Meteorguy]

New to the forum and was wondering if there was any specific thread for posting questions about resin casting model parts? Figured this would be the best thread to ask on. Im located in eastern Canada and am trying to figure out a good place to order 2 part silicone and resin as well as some help figuring out whats the best type of silicone and resin to get for the price and application? as ive only read and watched some how to’s but still have a couple questions. Im looking to cast a couple grills and bumper as well as interior pieces to start any help as to what would be the best product to do so and possibly where to buy them in eastern canada as I imagine shipping will be a costly factor thanks for any help that can be provided

Welcome aboard, Devon.

The Q&A section is the correct place to ask your questions, so you're good there.

Please check out and bookmark this pinned topic, and it is a far superior search method to the forum's own search engine. Many times the same, or a very similar question, has previously been asked, and there are multiple topics and replies with helpful information existing here on the forum:

 

 

Using this search method and the keywords "resin casting" will return many helpful posts, and will give you an idea of what will be required, and the skill set necessary to pull of successful casting.

I can't help with local source for supplies, but I would suggest you be more open to having product shipped to you, as that won't limit your options to items which are physically close to you. Smooth On 300 is a quality, semi-slow setting resin which I've had great success with, and would recommend:
