Product Description
New fast-cast resin that was developed specifically for adding color pigments and fillers to achieve true color representation or filler effect. Small amounts of pigment will yield accurate, vivid colors from cured castings. Vacuum degassing is not necessary. Convenient one-to-one mix ratio (one part A to one part B by volume). The differences between them are pot life and demold time. Fully cured castings are tough, durable, machinable and paintable. They resist moisture and mild solvents. Applications for Smooth-Cast Liquid Plastics include reproducing small to medium size sculptures, cold cast bronze castings, making prototype models, roto cast pieces, special effect props, and decorative jewelry. Net weight 32 oz. (909 grams).Technical Information: pot life: 2.5 minutes, demold time (depending on mass): 7-10 minutes, shrinkage: .01 in./in., viscosity: 100 cups, S.G. g/cm3: 1.07, S.V. cu. in./lb.: 27.7, ultimate tensile strength: 3,170 PSI

I have yet to find a product by Smooth-On that has failed to deliver!
Easy to use, can be adapted to serve multiple uses, and when I've contacted Smooth-On they have had people who are actually familiar with their product, and make intelligent suggestions from experience.
Both the product and the Smooth-On seller here on Amazon are rock solid
On the pictures look closely at the unfinished silver of the Corvo mask I built, the fake tool marks I made in the monster clay transferred perfectly to the final cast. In the second build progress shot, you can see where the copper wire was being bent to fit the piece. The sheer of the 325 took the abuse without issue. The final shot was part of another build, and I happened to mask off half for paint. You can see in the shot how the 325 looked before and after paint and the fine detail that was caught. I did not make a single cast in a vacuum environment, these were all straight mold casts using Oomoo 30 and Smooth Cast 325

A few warnings; if you are rotocasting, you will want to wait several hours before you try to take it out. It is soft at firdt, and rhe thin shell will deform and risks tearing. It definitely does not fully cure in 10 minutes. Also, if you are trying to do a clear mold, I would not recommend this one. It does bubble some, and it starts setting so quickly that you don't have much time to mitigate it. The bubbles don't seem to touch the surface, so if you're going for a solid color you are good to go.

The SmoothCast 380 is by far the BEST of their casting resins. Gives you about 8 min. of pot time, cures fairly fast and it is the HARDEST of them all. Once dried, the edge if a part after 20 min. can actually cut you like a knife, that's how hard. It is also a bit flexible. This resin is weights more than the SmoothCast 300, which is also my favorite. The 380 also takes pigments better than the other resins.
The ONYX resin is the worse to work with. It cures too HOT, that it often blisters and bubbles. It also has little work time (Pot time) and could cure while you're pouring it right in the glass. Dries very black, but not recommended.
The SmoothCast 300 is a fantastic resins, like the 380. The DIFFERENCE between the two are that the 300 DRIES GRAY with pigmentation, BUT (A BIG BUT), the 300 CAN DO WITHOUT PAINT. Yes, it dries so smooth GRAY that all it needs is maybe a coat of clear enamel or lacquer. It is also a bit more prone to bubbling due to heat, but NOT TOO MUCH. The 380 dries black with the BLACK TINT, otherwise it's like a tan. About 4 drops of tint (So-Strong recommended) is enough for 12 table-spoons of both parts A & B (6 Oz.).
SmoothCast 320 is awful, dries with bubbles due to heat, takes a long time to dry and it just doesn't work right under the conditions I'm using it.
