NOPE, no wiffing dope here LOL, actually the stuff has hardly any odor or fume at all, which is surprising but this particular resin is pretty easy to work with all around. Im going to try another mold which has more texture, its harder to pull the cast out if there is too much detail though (cracks, overhangs, etc...). The panels are pretty light at about 3/4" thick and 12"x29" so they will probably go onto the website and become part of the inventory. They are not "cheap" to make though but I spect I could still turn a nickel off of them if I sold enough. They sure make a boring tank look better and they are VERY easy to clean. The rocks in the foreground are made the same way, just tinted a different color. I tried a f/t phylorynchus, but there was no interest at all, the next trial will have to be with a live one I guess (phylo, getulas, or perhaps a changosaurus obesus?)
