The Benefits of Resin and Fiberglass

Resin and fiberglass are renowned for their strength and versatility, making them staples in the construction of props and scenic elements:

• Strength and Durability: These materials withstand wear and environmental factors, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Lightweight: Despite their strength, resin and fiberglass are light enough to be easily moved or suspended, which is particularly beneficial for dynamic set designs.
• Detail and Versatility: Resin can be cast in molds to reproduce intricate details, while fiberglass can be shaped into larger structures with complex contours.

Services Offered

• Prop Fabrication: Creating durable and detailed props that need to withstand repeated use or close-up scrutiny.
• Scenic Elements: Constructing large scenic items that require a lightweight structure with a high degree of durability.
• Custom Molds and Castings: Designing and producing molds for resin casting, allowing for multiple reproductions of a design with consistent quality.

Techniques and Materials

We employ advanced techniques and utilize top-quality materials to ensure the best results for our resin and fiberglass projects:

• Hand Lay-up Technique: Applying layers of fiberglass cloth and resin by hand to form strong, lightweight structures.
• Spray Lay-up Technique: Using a chopper gun to spray fiberglass and resin mixture directly onto a mold, which is ideal for larger items.
• Casting Resin: Using silicone molds to cast high-detail resin pieces, perfect for small to medium props that require fine textural details.
