Optically clear casting urethane resin that’s easier to measure and easy to turn
Whether you’re an experienced woodturner, you’re just learning about turning, or you’re turning treen and want to add resin to your repertoire so you can try your hand at casting and turning hybrid blanks, Cast N Turn urethane is the clear choice for casting one-of-a-kind turning blanks for pens, bowls, knife scales, coyote howlers (for those times when you need to mess with a coyote’s territorial instincts – hey – you never know!), and more.
Other casting urethane resins are measured by weight ONLY. With Cast N Turn, you don’t need to invest in a digital scale to get the precise ratio and a proper cure. Just measure 1 part Part A and 1 part Part B – by volume . Cured pieces are rigid, high-impact plastic that can handle the heat and pressure of turning on a lathe, without melting, deforming, chipping or cracking. Get 100% bubble-free results, when used with a pressure pot.
Get creative with color and encapsulations
Tint Cast N Turn with a variety of pigments, such as mica powders and dyes. The important thing is to add the colorant to Part A and mix thoroughly before combining Part A with Part B, because once combined, the clock starts ticking to get the resin poured into your mold and put into a pressure pot for curing.
Besides adding color, you can encapsulate objects in the resin such as stabilized tree burls or scraps of worthless wood most would consider fit only for the firepit, casting them into blanks, then turning them into something amazing!
Longer working time gives you more time to cast larger pieces
Cast N Turn’s generous 12-minute working time is longer than that of traditional urethane resin, which takes some of the pressure off of you to get your casting into the pressure pot before the resin starts to set.
