New Resin Products and Tools

Smooth On has a new resin product and a resin tool that may prove to be a great help in the studio. The online tool helps you to calculate how much resin you need for your project and the second dispenses the right amount of resin/hardener for a 2 to 1 ratio. I have not tried it yet but it looks like a great product.

Calculator to determines how much plastic or rubber you need by either volume, weight or temperature.http://www.smooth-on.com/tools.php

EpoxAmite® Dispensing Pumps
EpoxAmite® pumps are calibrated to deliver the correct amount of Part A resin and Part B hardener with a single push.
One Push ‘A' + One Push ‘B' = Correct Amount of Product to Mix.
No need to weigh components using a gram scale or measure by volume using graduated cups. Pumps are identified by label on pump head.
