As above, Ive got a table Im going make a top for, want to make it from acrylic so can mount things inside it.

Whats the stuff called, two liquids you mix that set and can be transparent or couloured with dyes, sure its acrylic like those transparent toilet seats...

Any help much appreciated as Im googling but not getting what I think I need.

Make it out of jelly so it's edible.

you're looking for casting resin.

Woo kust found it mate, thanks!

Don't cast body parts; the heat produced will burn them.

Maybe. I think I read that somewhere.

What you going to put in it?

isn't that concrete?

Fibreglass kits are good to use, come with both parts. Casting resing etc, all similiar stuff.

Wouldn't have thought so, the heat it produces isn't much, it could burn you chemically though if you have particularly fragile skin?

It's not see through though.

Im going to make a table top for a chrom coffee table I found, its spilt into two parts as the middle comes apart so im planning to make one square top for when its all in one peice and two semi circles if you have the ends seperated.
Im still decideing what to put in the plastic, Im thinking of going to a taxidermist/2nd hand places and see I can get some small animals, maybe some fake fingers or even fake turds!
So many choices!

I plan to sell it when finished by the way

Acrylic resin is what you want, but it might be a bit expensive at that size.
