Reply To: Avoid Transparent Resin?

I never thought of this! I wish you’d posted two days earlier – because I just received some clear resin for messing about with LED lights! But it makes sense – you’d probably need to dial down the exposure time for clear resin (just as you need to crank it up a bit for black).

I got clear because I’m casting heads and weapons with voids in them and stuffing LEDs inside. Usually I use light grey and it lights up a treat, but I thought that – for weapons especially – clear might be a nice alternative. I’m not sure that it is (though I haven’t actually tried it yet).

But it’s a good point – clear resins won’t block the UV light from previous layers the way coloured resins do! I think I just wasted the best part of twenty quid….
