Aristocrat Water Clear Polyester Casting Resin
Aristocrat
crystal clear polyester casting resin is a liquid plastic, when catalyst is
added to the resin a chemical reaction causes the resin to cure and harden
into a rock hard, crystal clear piece. It is an easy to use, water
clear polyester resin, perfect for making decorative plastic craft items.
You can use an assortment of molds we offer to embed and encapsulate coins,
dried flowers, insects, seashells, stones, and many other objects forever in
plastic.
Available in:
We have a complete line of molds, dyes, and pigments, all available for online ordering.

A few point to remember when using our Aristocrat Polyester Resin:
All polyester resins have a VERY strong odor when curing. Always use in a well ventilated area.
All polyester resins are very sticky and messy, we suggest using disposable plastic gloves when working with polyester resins.
Clean up with acetone. Acetone can be found at any hardware store. (Acetone is very flammable, always follow the direction on the can).
Read the MSDS (material safety data sheet) prior to purchasing or using our polyester resin.
Resins have a shelf life. We suggest storing the rein in a cool location and use within 6 months of purchase.
Always use protective eyewear when mixing and using reins and plastic
disposable gloves to protect your skin.
Caution — Follow safety instructions carefully. Not suitable for use by children.
Always read our technical bulletin and MSDS sheets prior to purchasing our using our polyester resin.

Embedding objects in plastic resin involves making a casting of 2 or more layers with the objects sandwiched between the layers. Generally, you work in reverse when embedding objects. (It is like making an upside down cake.) The first layer you pour becomes the top or face of your casting. Pour the first layer of catalyzed resin into mold and allow the resin to gel until firm enough to support the embedment's, approx. (20-30 minutes) or use our Gel Promoter to gel the resin in as little as 90 seconds. Prepare the next batch of resin and stir. To avoid trapping air, dip embedment's into the catalyzed resin; set in place face down on the first gelled layer. Pour balance of catalyzed resin over the embedment's. If the embedment's are not yet covered or if you want a colored background, pour a third clear or colored layer after the second layer has gelled. Embedment's can be placed in several levels to create a "floating" appearance. After final layer has been poured, allow casting to harden completely before removing from the mold.
Polyester resins will not cure when exposed to the air. For example, when you use a mold, like our rectangular polyethylene mold to the left, the resin faces (5 sides) that are against the mold cure to a rock hard surface, but the top face of the mold, the area exposed to the air, (the bottom when reverse embedding) will not completely cure. You can add our surface curing agent to the last pour, it contains a wax and allows the surface to cure but it also tends to cloud the resin slightly. Or you can use our Castin'Craft Resin Spray, a fast drying, clear gloss finish/sealer. It is ideal for fixing small blemishes in cured resin pieces or coating the area that is exposed to the air.
We also offer a full line of:
