water clear resin for clear parts?

Post by Antenociti »

Looking for suggestions for a water-clear resin for pressure casting clear parts please?

Parts are down to around 3mm thick, I want something that doesnt require oven-heating afterwards to fully set, ideally with a set-up time at maximum of overnight (cna always leave the moulds in the pressure pot) but preferbly mcuh shorter and closer to normal fast-cast resins.

Im in the UK, but happy to buy from elsewhere.
