In 2017, GlassCast became world-famous when hundreds of millions of people shared a customer's video of their GlassCast penny floor project. This project inspired makers and creators from all over the world to try new projects using resin, in particular the amazing wood and resin jewellery. So the new GlassCast 10 was developed specifically to be the perfect resin for applications such as this, it's fantastic for many other projects too - like Pen Blanks, GlassCast Art, Jewellery, Modelling and Thick Worktops among many others. GlassCast 10 was developed to be hard-wearing, polishable, UV resistant and easy to use. We believe it offers unsurpassed performance for applications like this. So if you're looking for the ultimate resin for casting projects such as crafts then you're looking for GlassCast 10! This listing is for GlassCast 10, each kit includes resin and hardener. The pack sizes available are 500g, 1kg and 5kg Kits. GlassCast 10 has an easy to use 2:1 mix ratio by volume or 100:45 by weight and will self degas during the curing process to produce a perfectly clear, bubble free casting.

Ambient Temperature, Pot-Life and Pour Depth. The GlassCast range of resins, in common with all epoxies, generate heat as part of the curing process. The amount of time the mixed resin can spend in the pot, as well as the maximum depth it can be poured at, will vary depending on the ambient temperature.

For best results, we recommend working in a consistent room temperature of 18-20°C. GlassCast can be used in temperatures from 15 to 25°C but higher temperatures will reduce the pot-life and the maximum pour-depth of the resin significantly, as shown in the table below. Maximum Time in Pot (Pot Life). Despite the very good advanced'UV' resistant formulation of our Glass Cast resins, we don't suggest using the GlassCast range of resins for permanent, outdoor applications. This is down to epoxy chemistry meaning that eventually, over time, depending on UV exposure, environmental conditions etc, the resins will always eventually yellow in outdoor conditions.

How visible this is depends on factors such as the underlying colour and conditions experienced. We simply don't have the longevity of testing to be able to guarantee how long it will be before the resin may start to deteriorate in direct sunlight, adverse weather conditions (freezing in winter, high temps in summer), water pooling or sitting on top, etc.

We have got customers who have used it for such applications but the advice would be to either put the outdoor prjects away between uses or to have a cover to protect it if no other product yacht varnish, etc. The team behind GlassCast are on hand to help with any questions you may have, whether you want help with calculating the right quantity or need advice on mixing, pouring or troubleshooting.
