Alumilite Clear is sold and used by weight, not volume. The B side will always have less volume in the container due to varying densities. Each kit is sold as total weight. For example, a 16# kit is 8# of A and 8# of B. Alumilite Clear is a premium clear casting resin preferred by professional blank makers around the world! This resin was specially formulated with the woodworker's needs in mind including: Resilience (less brittle than other resin types frequently used) so that your finished pieces don't crack if accidentally dropped High polishability to achieve that high gloss many demand High machinability which make your finished blanks easy to turn on a lathe, cut, route, or shape on a belt sander Low shrinkage which makes Alumilite Clear the preferred resin for Worthless Wood** (wood and resin) castings Optical clarity for those times you need a clear casting which also means your dyed castings will remain true to color Very low odor so that your entire shop does not stink like when using other resins! Alumilite Clear has a 7min open time and pressure casting is recommended to achieve bubble free results. Alumilite Clear must be mixed 1:1 by weight NOT VOLUME. Off ratio mixing may produce hazy or frosted parts. Recommended for industrial use only. B side may thicken and need to be warmed before use. Note: The clarity of resin will shift from batch to batch based on the clarity of incoming raw materials. In most cases, this will not affect product unless used over white backgrounds.
