Clear Plastic/resin Encasing

[+New England n00b]

My father used to have this kit that contained a clear plastic resin or plastic that you poured into a mold. You could make paperweights and such that had butterflies in it, or other neat knick-knacks which contained some object(s). I can't remember what is was called. I also can't seem to find the right keywords to google it successfully - at least, not without a WHOLE lotta unrelated garbage links.

 

Does anyone know what I am referring to, and possibly a modern day source for that or a similar product?

 

Thanks...

 

(I thought I asked this here before, but a search pulled up nothing. Sorry if this is a repeat.)

TAP Clear-Lite Casting Resin

or

KraftKote Clear Polymer Resin

The TAP Clear-lite resin is close enough! MANY thanks! Now, on to designing my sig item!

I'm so happy you reminded me of this stuff. I remember putting some flowers and other crap in these things to make paper-weights. Now that it's back in mind, I'm trying to think of all the possibilities.

 

You are awesome

I had some of that until last week. I used it to encase something (no duh). You can buy it at allmost any hobby store. The catalist on the other hand is harder to find.

ps does my avitar work?

You are awesome

 

I hereby offload the burden of awesomeness to dhenning25.

 

As far as possibilities? Make a TB and see if anyone can actually remove the tag. AFTER IT'S ENCASED LIKE A BUG IN AMBER! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! (BTW, that idea is all yours if'n you all wants it...

 

ps does my avitar work?

 

I've no idea, but you avatar is kind of neat...

My goodness does that bring back a few memories. I couldn't recall what they name brand was and I don't recall either of these. In fact I think the stuf I had used many moons ago is probably banned these days, but you you seal anything in liquid form for ever. We found some pretty interesting things to seal up in our childhood. If I can find one I'll post a pic.

I loved those big 'ol trantulas. That would make an awsome TB. How would you like to open an ammo can and see a 4" spider sitting inside.

 

Well, maybe not such a good idea after all.

Don't come caching in the L.A. area, ok? And I'll make sure I stay away from Reno....which is NOT near Vegas.

Reno....which is NOT near Vegas.

Are you sure it's not near Vegas?

 

Next you'll be telling me that it snows in Arizona!
