Dream Tool


As a resin artist I spend an inordinate amount of time hand sanding. I am always looking for ways to cut down my sanding time. The Wolf Sander $179 is the work horse of my dreams. It has specialized belts that you can use with plastic and resin which do not scratch the surface. It will take the finish down to a 400 microfiber sanding grit, cutting in half my original hand sanding time. It also is great for sanding fine/sterling silver again with few scratches on the material.

Here is the link for the specialized sanding belts: http://www.ottofrei.com/store/search.php?mode=search and here is the link for the sander http://www.ottofrei.com/store/product.php?productid=16863&cat=0&page=2.

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.
