Free resin casting lessons in return for shop help - SoCal

[robertburns]

Hello all,

If you live in SoCal (I'm in San Diego) and would like to learn the art of resin casting and mold making, I might be interested in talking to you. I need some shop help. I work a normal job, but I'm planning to do resin casting full time. I'll give you lessons in return for helping me. After the learning period (agreed upon by both of us), you can start charging me (or anyone else interested in your services) to make extra money.

What you'll be helping with:

Staging model parts for molding

Clay work

building boxes and other containers for molds

measuring and mixing rtv

pouring molds

using a vacuum pump and pot

cleaning equipment and tools

helping with master patterns - sanding, prepping, polishing, etc

measuring and mixing resin

using a pressure pot

casting

customer service, fulfillment, and on line marketing

and more

After you learn the craft, you'll be an independent contractor. I'll have small paid jobs for you. You can also take other jobs since people are always looking for resin casters.

This is a fun craft, with lots of potential. If anyone is interested, please PM me.

Thank you in advance

Hey, Robert,

Move to Phoenix and you're on! LOL.

Good luck with the new venture ... and be sure to bring your wares to Phoenix in April ~ Desert Scale Classic; Great place to launch a new line.

Best of luck.
