Amazing Clear Cast by Alumilite Corporation is a 1 to 1 mix ratio epoxy suitable for casting blanks for pens, handles, calls, knife scales and more. This video demonstrates the process of mixing the Amazing Clear Cast, adding color, pouring pen blanks, and proper curing of resin. Once blank has fully hardened, we turn it on a lathe, polish it to a high gloss using Alumilite Polishing Pads, then assemble the pen.
