resin/acrylic casting

[mssocks]

Has anyone tried resin or acrylic casting? Darn that Trading Places show, I saw them do it and now I have to try it! What I am unsure of, is what kind of molds do you use? Can you cut a hole in it later ( say, for photos ) or do you have to invent a mold with openings? For those who haven't seen it. you mix acrylic and hardener together and pour into a mold. That sets to a jelly consistancy, then you put dried flowers, Mickey objects, whatever. on top, then cover with another mixture of the acrylic stuff.

If I figure this out, I will repost with the results!

Thanks for any responses!
