It won't be exactly the same as SolusCast. It's a wax filled resin, so it's softer. The means you cannot use very thin support tips, or at least it might be challenging to do so. I recommend around 0.4mm. 0.3mm will work too if you anchor the print down well to the build area with thicker supports, for example the shank of a ring using a ring support. Also, we suggest making the bases larger than normal to help the prints stick better to the build plate.

No, the resin is not difficult to remove from the bottle. However, we suggest warming up and mixing well when pouring because the wax can settle. Once in the resin tank, you don't need to warm it up. Just mix it really well before each print.

so when you say to warm up the resin before purring it to the tank ? what amount of heat are we talking , leave it on top of the steamer , under a heat lamp , ?? what deg. are we talking about , and also for about how long ?? then shake and pour right ?

Around 100 degrees should be enough to mix it. Shake the bottle for 2 minutes.
