Looking good bud, you\'ll have to pop over and give me a hand doing mine now. Did you get the wax in styrene (sp?)

Good work!

Might have a go at this too :) Couldnt you wax the originals 1st and then peel off the carbon once it\'s hard to create a copy? ok so it wont have all the backing for fixings etc but it\'ll be super light :King

how long did it take the resin to dry bud? Also what are you using to measure the catalist, i\'m thinking of using a plastic syringe but cannot seem to find any. But that is a great link bud, great price and i bet it doesn\'t stink like the plastic container mine\'s in, lol.
:Laugh LOL

lol i had a spare plastic syringe in my house from some first aid kit i had.
 
the resin was set in about 30-40 mins but i waited longer just incase, also it still smells but i do not think it is a strong as the one you have lol!
