We're diving into resin casting with a pressure pot but stuck on picking the right resin. We want bubble-free results and a smooth finish but there are too many choices out there. Any recommendations on brands, curing times or must-read guides before we make a mess?

Smooth-On and Alumilite are good options you might want to check out right now if you want low bubble, nice flow, and cure quick in a pressure pot. Just be careful with your mix ratios and temperatures. Also, YouTube's got some walk-throughs if you're visual learners.
 
Thank you so much. That gives us a fantastic starting point. Between Smooth-On and Alumilite, do you find one is a little more forgiving for a couple of people just learning the ropes?
