Isopon Kit from 70's

redman

Any body remember the kits of that really smelly gluey stuff that came with shells and keyring things.

You poured this gluely stuff into a tray with whatever and it set hard and clear. Leaving you with a sealed object.

Anyone know of the modern equivalent?

plaster caster and clear caster i think ... rotten stuff ... awful bang off it ... couldn't keep your fingerprints from ruining it either.

had a quick google ... found some stuff on the plaster cast kits, but nothing on the clear cast.

Hi there,

well according to my hubby you are looking for casting resin. Google clear casting resin and you'll find it.

3D laser etching in a glass block!

I do remeber those kits. Awful. I'm sure they'd be illegal to market to kids in this day and age.

I have a little miniture bottle of Guiness (containing actual Guiness) in a block as a keyring somewhere, dates from the early 80's.

I've been looking for the equivalent for years. There doesn't seem to be kits, as there was in the 70's. I think it was called David's Isopon. Will probably have to buy in bits and pieces.
