Some Sierra Canadian Shredded Currency pen blanks using Resin Saver mold rather than pouring a slab and having to use a pressure pot. Had some difficulties which I will post in another thread. Les     |

did you allow to cure in open air? Did you use the same resin?

Now that is pretty nifty Les! And, I have to say that Canadian money is very colorful. Should make very nice pens.

Do you have to use a pressure pot with those molds?

Can you tell me why you do not have to use the pressure pot for the "Resin Saver" molds but you have to for the slab mold?
Thanks

With the Resin Saver Mold there is a much smaller surface area with easy access to see and remove bubbles before the PR starts to set.
