Overview: This casting project may be used with Eurocast or Almond Eurocast for a quick setting -odor free project. Using EZ Cast clear casting resin adds an element of time (about 4 hours) to the cure and features the classic polyester resin aroma. The upside of EZ Cast however, is the ability to create clear or transparently colored projects that may feature inclusions such as glitter, coins, or bugs, to name just a few.
