try calling up TESDA, the govt agency which offers livelihood/vocational training; they may have courses on industrial applications of these things (e.g making mouldings for homes, car parts) and they usually also provide lists of suppliers. i've been thinking of taking their fiberglass fabrication course for some dream projects.

also talk with people at the College of Fine Arts in U.P. they've used resin for sculptures; perhaps someone teaches it there as well. at least one grad i know makes resin sculptures for his artwork.

I've used polymer prod stuff and they are different from the US type brands, mostly a resin and hardener mix. They also sell silicone rubber for casting (catalyst type). And my fave the gold/silver films that i use for kits. They also have seminars for beginners every month for P2000. They teach from resin to fiberglass to silicone rubber and a lot of stuff. I only attended to learn how to do the silicone casting and resin mixes.

US brands usually are 50/50 mix of chemical A and B. But polymers is 30% of the total resins weight = hardener.

Bro, any idea on how much their products are? I've been looking for RTV for making molds and resin to make the prototypes. Fimo and other plasticines require "baking" that's why I'm opting for casting resin...

I also use the gold and silver foils but I got them from a crafts store in Megamall beside TK.

Fankly I don't have time to go any of them I, coz I live and work in the province... If you do have time to check them out, please do provide some reviews, I'm also ineterested and curious but didn't have the time. THANKS

dunno the exact amount now but when i got a 1 liter before it was P162 and the hardener is like 90 ata. rtv580 silicone rubber was like 800 bucks with hardener na. tagal ko na din hindi na pursue yung resin stuff. I did some copies with the FFAC buster sword and kou uraki figure that came with my gp01fb coating version. made some experiments with trying to copy the autobot insignia that came with THS02.

Thanks guys, I was planning to call them before I go to any store. In my case the Taft branch would be the easiest to go to since I only have to 1 straight ride that's roughly around P30, while the Pasig brach is closer i don't have a clue how to go there other than using the Ortigas road, which will take around 3-4 ride.

I was looking for these stuff since I read about them in Finescale Modeler when I was still into planes and tanks. It's the best way to make extra/custom parts that will suit kit bashing and tricking outs I couldn't and sometimes hesitant to do on the kits.

I'll post some details soon and hopefully provide additional info on the materials if i get to buy them. ;D

I'm making this as a new post to avoid confusion, thanks

The link below is a tutorial on how to make your own figurine -
www.mixph.com/2007/03/how-to-make-figurines-stained-glass-and-other-resin-products.html


Well here are some of the prices I found out and hoping to buy myself soon...

resin - P134/liter
hardener - P26 (you'll need this to solidify the resin faster)
toner - P40 and up (depending on the color)
calcium - P32/5kilos (for figurines/makes it look ceramic)
clear cast resin - P177/liter (used like those paperweights with clear thick plastic)
RTV - P850/kilo (used to make the mold, also available in 1/2 bottle)

I'll add more once I make some projects

[LadyLuck®]

ALRIGHT!!! ;D ;D ;D can't wait for your post BTW thanks for the price list

anyway check out this link:
www.danperezstudios.com/workshop.htm

Scroll down he has a couple tips and tricks on mold-making and casting. Hope this helps

[Gane]

I got the items and did some small testing so here goes,

Resin and RTV don't solidify on their own so you really need to have the catalyst/hardener, luckily the price of the RTV includes a bottle of the catalyst while the resin will have tyo be separate because you can use it in other resins as well.

Resin hardener smells like "Rugby" and can give you nagging headache or probably even get you high but I wouldn't recommend sniffing because that would fry your brains sooner or later... ;D

The color toners are waterbased so probably it will work well with acrylics but I wouldn't recommend water colors... unless I find this is not possible either. A few years back I tried clear epoxy mixed with poster paint (to achieve color) but it became rubbery and didn't solidify as I wanted it, so I don't know if this is going to happen with the resin as well.

Thanks for that site LadyLuck, although the stuff from Polymer Products is not what was being used by Dan Perez, his tips help a lot. He's using specialty products designed for professionals while Polymer Products is for general purpose, so experimentation will have to be done first.

I still need to buy a few items like mold release made from equal parts thinner and petroleum jelly.

Gane: did you buy it at Polymer shop in Taft? can you post nearest landmark? couldnt contact their taft store, was only able to reach alabang and their store there is waaayyy too far TIA
