2 ) Bio Resin: Mad Mayker also stocks Nerpa Lite casting resin. This is the most eco-friendly Bio resin I have found, and after testing it I highly recommend it. The 750ml pack will be enough for your final project.
3 ) Pebeo Gedeo Crystal Bio resin, 750ml. This is the exact resin I use in the course. Its 50% bio content which is better for the planet! 750ml is enough to make either the Lightshade or Planter, or final project. NOTE: you have to buy this Crystal casting resin NOT the glazing resin.
4 ) Opaque Bio Resin / Epoxy Pigments: 'Lets resin' is a good quality affordable brand.
5 ) Translucent Bio Resin / Epoxy Pigments: 'Lets resin' is a good quality affordable brand.
6 ) Bio resin / Epoxy Mica powders: For pearlescent effects. 'Lets Resin is a good quality affordable brand.
7 ) Bio resin / Epoxy 'Chameleon' powders: For colour-shifting pearlescent effects. 'Lets Resin' is a good quality affordable brand.
Mold-making supplies
Respirators:
Respirator for working with Resin. ( Typically 'Bio-Resin' contains some epoxy resin, so we need to protect ourselves for Epoxy resin )
There are many different types of Bio-resin (and Epoxy) and types of masks. Here is a video explaining the difference between masks and respirators
I recommend a full face mask if you can source one, as they also protect your eyes. I only wear a half-mask because of my glasses, but both masks will filter out the resin fumes when used with the correct filters. Remember having good ventilation in your workspace is important too.
There are many types of masks and filters so ideally get a mask and filter combo that filter out both organic and inorganic vapours.
For the 3M Mask there are suggestions from many professional resin users for the right filter to use, but as I understand it 6055/6057/6059 will provide protection from resin fumes.
1 ) Full face mask includes filters. (which includes filters)
2 ) 3M half mask and Filters (you need to buy both).
2 ) 3M full face mask and Filters (you need to buy both).
3 ) Parcil PD-101 full face mask (which includes filters)
