I'm looking for a community about epoxy and urethane resin casting. I'm just starting out and have some questions. I'll also take referrals to outside forums.

That's unfortunate. I'm trying to figure out what resin would be best for making small- medium sized figures and statues. Like 5-18 inches. I'm looking for something that isn't as brittle as 3D printer Resin which usually has a shore hardness of 70. So I don't know if I need to go higher up the scale or lower and more flexible.

I would look up Reynolds Advanced Materials (they make Smooth-On). They cater to prop makers.

I took a look, unfortunately I can't order online and there isn't a store near me :(

At the very least, they have technical specs for their resins.

They did, and it is useful!
