    Hi. I need to say something. I'm a railway modeller and love your videos about scenery, very skilled. If you want to know about scenery watch a war gamer!
    Just be careful. I've used PU adhesives in my work for 37 years. The catalysts are the cross linkers (hardeners). They polymerise the resin. They are used regardless of solvent or water based adhesives. I got sensitised to isocyanates. I cast wagons. They are simple no nonsense and cheap to make, I do the CAD, 3D print models, make silicon moulds and then cast in PU resin (SG2000 mostly), very simple one sided moulds. I did a load of casting about 3 years ago and developed what I thought was flu, high temperature 39, disturbed night etc, much better in the morning? ... so thought nothing of it. 3 weeks later did another load and had the same again. This was because I have become sensitised to the cross linker (the hardening catalyst or what ever you want to call it). So I just need to say, water based or solvent based, even if it doesn't smell, if it says "contains isocyanates" please please use ventilation ... a cooker hood vented to the outside is good enough (not the ones that just filter), or do it in a room, open the windows and put a desk fan against one to get a flow. That's enough. But over time you can become sensitised and its not much fun!
    I love casting but I now have to be very careful about ventilation. Don't want to be alarmist or anything etc but always read the label.

    Use a heat gun, blow torch or even a hair dryer to lower the viscosity.
    You could also try warming the resin beforehand in a tub of hot water.
    The blowtorch will annihilate those bubbles for you too.

    In case you don't follow the Facebook page CFS told me today the 'Fast' catalyst no longer works with the green labelled Polyester resin. I rang them after failing 3 times to get mine to cure. Luckily I was just testing and not pouring it on a scene. CFS were great by the way and are replacing my order due to my wastage trying to get it to work. They said the standard catalyst is pretty fast anyway.

    • @PNW
      @PNW Před 6 lety +3

      Not to keep going on about this but I've used the standard catalyst now and it works great, solid in an hour (not fully cured) and seems to smell a lot less than using the fast catalyst unless I'm just getting used to the smell.

  • @dimligloing
    @dimligloing Před 6 lety +3

    The smell with polyester resin is actually styrene. Its not just a bad smell its actually harmful so please be careful. Good ventilation and don't spend hours working with it. If you start getting a headache then you need to pack up for the day and head for fresh air as you've had too much. But it is really good resin.

  • @ChrisFrosin
    @ChrisFrosin Před 6 lety

    When I was working with resin (I used to pour over my photographs for a high gloss finish on those) I used to use a hairdryer on the bubbles. Turn it on hot and just waft it over each bubble and they evaporate. Try it I don't know if I was using a different resin...

    • @ChrisFrosin
      @ChrisFrosin Před 6 lety

      Lukes Aps ah gotcha! No worries dude! I have a lot of 25-40mm bases to add some water effects to, so this was interesting. The small bases suggest I will probably need a thinner resin. Might try the last little bit of resin I’ve got left over from my photos... I’ll get the company name for you and pop it on your group.

  • @richardclowes6123

    Excellent tutorial, ordered the smelly one. Take it that the smell goes away when it's cured ? Have bought some resin tints so will use them. Question is: Will it be okay on top of acrylic based paints on the river bed ?? Can you add extra layer on top if you want it deeper ?? Thanks for the knowledge.

  • @maxxon99
    @maxxon99 Před 6 lety

    I have Woodland stuff and my main problem with it is that it takes ages to dry if I pour more than one or two mill thick... like weeks or more. Which basically means it only really works on already level surfaces.

    Great video, very informative. I've never tried water effects before and was literally about to push the button on some Woodland Scenics stuff so I reckon you've saved me a few quid cheers!! One thing I'm not sure about though, I plan on pouring onto materials like plastic, cork and DIY filler, these will be painted with acrylics. Do I need to seal them with anything before I pour the water effects? I'm planning on trying the Polyester stuff you suggest. Cheers!

  • @lutobor13
    @lutobor13 Před 6 lety

    I use acrylic resins for baths, tables and floors. It costs even cheaper then yours, about $50 per 15kg. I think most of those crafty hobby companies just re-package this exact construction stuff since most of the people won’t go look anywhere beside craft stores, so they make it 10-15 times more expensive and sell.

    • @lutobor13
      @lutobor13 Před 6 lety

      Lukes Aps I did diorama and poured about 30kg in one go to make a table out of it. It took 1 week, but hardened nicely. I prefer it because of viscosity- it’s like cooking oil and covers better, plus leaves pretty much no air bubbles. For small pieces it takes 48 hours. For the money- meh, doesn’t bother me, can wait.

  • @createinspain
    @createinspain Před 6 lety

    I don't know if it is of interest to you but there is another type of polymer that you may like to investigate. Not like your hard ones, UV activated polymer is a very thick, sticky gel used to make craft stamps (I have a load of videos on that) but it could possibly be used for water effects. It sets to a rubber like finish with use of a UV nail lamp.. Colop UK make one VX55, it is a light green colour. Clean up is with detergent and water. I recently tried a resin like your usual one, for coating art work. Gave up with the smell - even with the windows open it was unbearable!

    • @dimligloing
      @dimligloing Před 6 lety

      A low viscosity polyeurethane resin will be fine. This doesn't need to be clear, the standard off white cheapest version is fine for casting models. You need to check if CFS fastcast is paintable as some resins dont accept paint well. Also it has a workable time of 2 minutes after mixing so you need to be organised. You will also need some RTV silicone to make the molds of your originals. You need to check out the many videos on mold making. And petroleum jelly (vaseline) is a good mold release agent. I can make good casts and if I can then anyone can.
