This chart includes how much resin is approximately used per mold or cavity of our PTownSubbie molds. We find measuring resin weight in grams on an accurate scale helps to increase your casting success. If you weigh your final cast after demolding may help to predict how much resin was used in your cast for the next time.
The numbers we have provided below are overestimated to allow for beginner errors in pouring or spilling when moving into the pressure pot. If you prefer to do your own calculations, here are the following formula.
1) find volume of the mold: Alumilite.com also provides a free volume calculator to assist in this conversion.
- Block / Blank molds: length x width x height
- Tube in molds: π x radius squared (r x r) x height
2) Multiply the volume by 0.554 to get ounces
3) Multiply the answer for ounces by 30 to get approximate grams. Note this is more than exact amount of grams but it's necessary to allow a margin of error.
Note: total weight includes both resin and hardener quantities. Please be sure to read mixing instructions on your chosen resin. Ratio of resin to hardener may vary 1:1 or 2:1 depending on the type used. Most resins work better the more quantity you can mix in one pour, so plan accordingly to cast in batches as much as possible. Please read our differences in resin page for more info.

TUBE-IN MOLDS (Blue Silicone Only)
Most tube-in series are universal in nature, if the tube length is close and bushings are the same size or smaller, then the tube-in blank should cast properly. Please CONTACT US or download our mold instruction documentation sheet again on how to use tube-in molds. Most tube-in molds will cast several size pen kits and may not be able to predict an exact weight of resin used.
