I purchased the 8-ounce bottles. It appears to work as fencejumper described. But I had the same issue that's mentioned in some Amazon reviews: the bottles make it really difficult to measure amounts carefully. ArtResin seems to be fairly forgiving with proportions, but I wasn't even close to 50:50 with my two mixings. I also used too much and applied it too thickly. So I decided to purchase some flip-top caps to be much more precise. A case of 24 is $15 and change on Amazon. 24 caps are waaaay too many, but I think it's good to have some extra caps in case the nozzles eventually clog. These are 24-410 caps and they fit:

That's some great material, Jason. Also, you look better wearing a hat.

Your curving loops that wrap partially around the settings are so graceful, and they echo the curves in your cabs so well. Beautiful design and execution!

The cab is great, and I really like both the hummingbird cutout and the "circular motion" imparted by the three wire loops, Bill.

Metamorphic?? To me it appears to be a composite of smaller particles that were captured in, or precipitated out of, the golden gravy-colored soup that solidified last. Am I even close? Is there a story to be told?
It's most likely a Canadian gift from the last ice sheet that covered the Seattle area.

Apache Gold is really messy. Thanks for the warning, Robin. I have a couple of slabs waiting, so now I'll be sure to dress appropriately when I get to them.
