As an alternative, you can Either use The solucast or the Ember Photosensitive Casting Resin. They both work great with Emerald. 1/2 Ratio.

We have a professional caster in-house. With this formula, the casting comes always good though. as mater of fact, we use mostly cherry resin.
In the past, we have seen the green resin casts excellent, but It prints Just OK, with an addition of some resins, now it prints WELL.
Some other people have experimented with the mixture and got some great results.
Im just giving feedbacks for all the work we do. Nothing is official, and always free. just my two cents. Marc.

I tested your 50/50 Soluscast/Emerald green method and I was impressed with how baby butt smooth it turned out. Now to cure and cast. Would you suggest lizard light or UV fluorescent?
If this works as I hope it will, it would be a godsend. Thanks!

We stopped using LED curing. We overnight our prints under a conventional fluorescent lIght. Lizard light is a viable option too.

Hi Mark what do you mean by conventional fluorescent light,just a simple fluorescent lamp,and the cleaning after printing can I clean it in alcohol?
Do you microwave this 50/50 mixture after cleaning,sorry for all these questions.Berc

Thank you for your response
but I did not want the exact recipe to get you a great result in casting
I just wanted to see a photo and compare it to my results or I'd like to experiment with a mix of epic / green
