- yesh me in SG...and SGcafe also. (see...hey again,<br />- yesh me in SG...and SGcafe also. (see u in there nxttime)<br />- Daiso (PS, Vivo) no buffing wheels, me been there often lately. But they do sell a block of gray-ish buffing compound. (yet to try, usually compounds are white chalk-like blocks)<br />- I got spare buffing wheels if you want to try out. I dun mind.<br /><br />- tks for the Epoxy resin outlet, will chk it out soon.<br />- ditto about ArtFrnd's Polyester Resin, that's why tryin hard to look for alternatives.<br />- know abt WeeTT from your previous post. Was considering that, but transport cost gonna make it not worthwhile again.<br />- Was at StraitsC-Arts a mth ago, if I am not mistaken, theirs is those casting resin similar to ArtFrnds, and also (very) not cheap. Unless they have gotten new stuff since then.<br /><br />- will check back again, take care & c'ya.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-28524863361733510832009-11-01T13:05:12.874+08:002009-11-01T13:05:12.874+08:00Sans, THANKS SO MUCH! i hope it's more afforda...Sans, THANKS SO MUCH! i hope it's more affordable there, weeteetong is quite a distance to travel, and i have to buy a minimum of 4 (or was it 6?) kgs :O<br /><br />ok. i'll make a post about epoxy resins and what i know soon.... thank you and thank Chris for me too! yes, 'soon' is never near enough LOL<br /><br />i -might- *fingers crossed* have exciting news soon...SOON AHH this word is a killer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470979321107028126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-23464737944412319372009-11-01T12:55:24.678+08:002009-11-01T12:55:24.678+08:00Cindy, I was just asking Chris (Treewizard) where ...Cindy, I was just asking Chris (Treewizard) where to get resin yesterday!!

LOL i'll make a trip down soon to get them! i don't know what polish cream to get though, i'm thinking just a 'plastic polish' should work, but it's not at the top of my priority list now...<br /><br />Thank you for your invaluable advice! i used just normal gloss varnish on the acrylic to make it look 'glassy' but i prefer to buff/polish the acrylic cos it's messy to work with the varnish, getting it on the item without smudging is a PITA.<br /><br />Tom, if you're in Singapore, my epoxy resin is from Madam Ang's:<br /><br />Sunshine Plaza, 91 Bencoolen Street, #01-75<br /><br />Opening Hrs:<br />Tues-Thurs/Sat-Sun<br />12pm-5pm<br /><br />polyester/epoxy is also available from art friend's, but at rather inflated prices. if you need it in larger volumes, you can try wee tee tong<br /><br />http://www.weeteetong.com/<br /><br />i think imma create a post on this too....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470979321107028126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-39286736899944540592009-11-01T09:25:08.686+08:002009-11-01T09:25:08.686+08:00Hi there Snowfern,
glad to see that you hands are...Hi there Snowfern, <br />glad to see that you hands are recovering well and working/playing again. <br /><br />now I've used to work with acrylic materials and usually have to fine sand + buff them to get them shiney/clear. Unless you know of some liquid polish which I haven't heard about?<br /><br />- since you have the rotary tools, I'd suggest getting the buffing "wheels" bits. They're just like small pieces of cloth stacked together like a disk. Used together with a buffing compound for better effect.<br />(if you need the wheel just let me know.)<br />*** I've never try on resin clay, no idea if it works on the clay stuff.<br /><br />speaking of resin, Snowfern may I know where you'd get epoxy resin or polyester resin? I rem you mentioned something at another forum regarding silicone molding/resin casting.<br /><br />Tom.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773780918582045981.post-71974354268526668382009-10-30T01:14:29.940+08:002009-10-30T01:14:29.940+08:00What a terrific job you've done on these bottl...What a terrific job you've done on these bottles, and you blog is humorous and i've enjoyed my time here.
