On this episode of Ben's Worx I cast my biggest epoxy resin blank using a single deep pour resin, I then attempt to turn this massive resin cast on the lathe.

  • You could now make a silicone mould of the finished egg, using the 10l bucket as a hard case and then you could have a mould to pour future big eggs without all the wastage. They'd just be a bit smaller after the clean up.
