Casting your own pen blanks is one of the most rewarding (and admittedly addictive) directions pen making can take. This is the umbrella collection for everything you'll need to start: Casting Resins (Alumilite slow-cast, fast-cast urethanes, epoxy systems), Mica Powders & Dyes for color and effects, Casting Supplies & Equipment (pressure pots, vacuum chambers, mixing supplies), and Resin Molds & Systems. New to casting? Start with a pressure pot, a small bottle of Alumilite clear, a few mica powders, and a beginner mold — the basic toolkit comes together affordably and the results will hook you fast.
