Made a special trip to the art shop on my mobility scooter - half a mile each way, over cobbled paths and roads, extremely uncomfortable being jarred and bumped around, and in a bitterly cold wind - to get some casting resin and RTV mould-making materials.
This shop used to stock anything you could think of, in the way of arts and crafts materials, and had a selection of various types of resins when I enquired a month or two ago.
The only type they have now is the clear type, designed for layering, although simple, coarse moulding can be done to an extent.
And the price, for the resin only, not including the catalyst or RTV, was £22 - four times as much as the 'proper' stuff advertised elsewhere !!
So, after the return journey (bump, bang, crash, rattle - is that a broken tooth ?!!), now numb with cold and aching all over, and after taking some pain killers and a quick swig of 'Scottish White Wine' ( a decent, 12 year old malt variety), I ordered a complete kit on line, the 'opaque' type which cures a light beige colour, and which includes the catalyst, RTV mould-making material, and instructions, for £20 including shipping, and it should be here on Wednesday.
I should have done that in the first place, and saved myself a lot of discomfort and wasted time !!
