Could this be used as a casting resin to make coasters?

Yes, I believe so based on the fact that I'm constantly setting cups of hot coffee, etc. on my desk top, which is entirely resin, without any damage to the surface.

Yes...easily....especially for small applications. I have used for mostly big applications like table tops with mementos submerged into the resin. For coasters.....this may sound stupid but it is quite simple. Use a Red Solo Cup this would make for a great coaster casting mold....it is a bit small on the bottom but they do make larger cups that you could use the base for coasters. It's simple because you put in whatever you want to preserve in the resin. Once it hardens you just cut and peel the plastic cup away and it comes off/out like an ice cube from an ice cube try. Hope this helps! I have also used Forceflex garbage bags to catch overspill and noticed that it peels easily from forceflex bags.....so you could make your own cup mold with forceflex bags...but it will have the diamond pattern in the cast resin.

Not no, but Heck NO! This stuff is for wood products. You might try a two-part epoxy such as Dev-con from B.E. Atlas.

I am not sure - it is plastic so I am guessing not if your mixture is really not. The plastic is not really super thin, but making hard candy, like anise, etc. would just melt it, I'm sure

Yes, it could be use as fondant or a soap mold because it is made from silicone.

sure- all depending on the strength of the area surrounding the crack. You could add a little 4oz. fiberglas cloth and it would be strong! I use it to fill stress cracks- it's very flexible compared to regular west system resin. It does turn really dark.

Resin is a plastic compound, and if cast heavy enough is fine. This is not. Very flimsy, and mine in fact arrived cracked and I returned it. Can't recommend it.

If it's the same thickness as texture it would do it, but resin will dry much faster so if your going to use it, just use a small amount at a time. Good luck

Accepting that I am not an expert, I dont see any reason why it couldnt be used this way. It seperates well when casting inside tin based silicone. I would imagine casting inside will work well. The very liquid viscosity fills in small parts even after adding various silica to specify properties. I am new to polyurethanes and learned you have to be fast in the mold. I wouldnt stir it more than 15 to 30 seconds before you get it in. Much harder than epoxies without fillers. They sell larger volumes on their website.

It should be just fine with that. I've cast bowls that were quite thick with it for turning. It will take a fairly long time to cure at that size and may not be entirely rigid like a piece of plywood at 40x40, but it should still work.

I used it to make a custom but-stock for an old gun, and it made for a solid, sturdy and smooth outer layer (about 3/8 inch thick ) but I also used a different resin for filler. I think for something that is not critical like the part I made it could work well by itsself, just making sure a minimal 3/8 thikness is maintained uniformly. Hope this helps.

Yes. You can use the following: Castin'Craft Transparent Dyes: These universal dyes can be used with Castin' Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin and Easy'Cast Clear Casting Epoxy. Transparent Dyes are available in 1oz. containers with drop dispenser. Castin'Craft Opaque Pigments: These universal opaque pigments can be used with Castin' Craft Clear Polyester Casting resin and EasyCast Clear Casting Epoxy. Secondary colors such as orange and purple are easy to create by blending two or more pigments. A color blending chart is included in ETI's "Easy Cast Resin Knobs" book. Castin'Craft Opaque Pigments are available in 1 oz. containers with drop dispenser.

It probably can but it is a little porous. Its slightly fragile but will work in a pinch. When you pulled apart the mold it might shatter or break into smaller pieces. If you have a choice I would pick something more durable. this is better used for something like pouring into a cast and set in shapes for children to paint or artistic projects. I used it for a mosaic table top and had issues with corners flaking and it easily chipped. hope this helps!!

I am sure you could, but I don't think it will be strong enough and will eventually come off. I would get a product that was silicone based and takes glass. This is great for wood, plastic on wood but glass on glass, I will not recommend it. But I will say, this is still a very good product for many many uses.

I used them for Zentangle art. They worked wonderfully for that. They have a different composition than the square coasters which did not take the pigment ink as well. My best guess is that these could be painted on with great success.

Yes...But. If you are using other resins that are low to moderate heat releasing, then yes. I don't see why you would have any problem. I have used 3 different resins without any problems whatsoever. I don't know that I would use straight fiberglass resin tho because I have had some that generated pretty high temps in the curing process. However, this is silicone rubber mold and it is rated to fairly high temps (I believe) so it should handle even the highest heat curing resins. Just don't know how the integrity of the mold would react. I can see where if one part of the resin cured more quickly it could cause the mold to bend or flex and result in a molded part not coming out to the correct dimensions. Might want to review the temp specs and make sure that the resin you are using generates heat within those specs.

It would make tiny pieces of soap. But I don't see why you couldn't use it for that. I think any Silicone Mold can be used for Soaps. I use it to make Embellishments for my cards.

I don't think there would be a problem. If you have a master fondant figure head, you should have no problem making a mold with this putty if you're using casting resin or epoxy putty or anything that cures chemically.
