Largest Resin Object Ever Made - with Ms. Whiteread aiming for an
entry in the Guinness Book Of Records, the final casting was to be

existing resin formulations of this type gave off a tremendous amount
of heat during the curing process, which meant that there was a risk
of such a large casting cracking and/or distorting.

could have meant disaster for the project. And how did it turn out?
We will close this chronology with a quotation from Ms. Whiteread in an
article from “The Independent”, a British newspaper:
“Doing What Has Never Been Done Before” - The Reality Sets In
Ms. Whiteread states that, “I think it is remarkable that we have done it,
got this far. I’m totally amazed we have achieved the engineering pos-
sible to make this volume of material work. And we ran out of material
and had to have it shipped from America. They (Smooth-On) manufac-

Th e Industrial Side Of The Cryst al Clear Series tm
Crystal Clear Resins (CC200, 202, 204, 206) have been used for years to create water-clear sculpture

castings (see “The Plinth”, previous page). But these resins are also used to make prototypes and industrial
design / display castings all over the world.

We have recently had requests for a harder version vs. our existing clear products that also offered a higher
heat distortion temperature for prototyping and other applications. Crystal Clear 220 is a harder addition to
the Crystal Clear line (Shore 85D vs. 80D) and heat curing / post curing is recommended.
tm
Like our other Crystal Clear products, CC 220 is UV resistant. Because this is a
tm
heat cure product, the heat resistance of finished castings is higher (heat distortion
temperature of (212°F / 100°C).
Because it is harder, it is easier to precisely machine and polish (remove scratches).
You also get less “suck back” and shrinkage with this product vs. other clear
products. Casting thickness maximum is about 4 cubic inches (65 cm3). The mix
ratio is 100A:75B by weight. Vacuum degassing or pressure casting to eliminate
bubbles is recommended. As with our other Crystal Clear products, silicone molds

Taken To Task - New York’s Museum Of
Natural History’s Display Of DNA Code
David McCornack’s average workday is filled with creative
challenges that would cause lesser moldmakers or casters to
simply throw up their hands and walk away. David is a
creative contributor to the Museum Of Natural History’s (NYC)
fabrication shop and, as such, considers such challenges part of
the job. He specializes in creating museum-quality marine inverterbrates, but is called
on to deliver a variety of casting creations to the exhibition floor. This poses not only
design challenges, but material challenges as well. “The Genome” exhibition called for
McCornack to design, mold and cast a floor-to-ceiling DNA chain (14 ft. - 4.25m) that
met museum standards for eye-catching appeal and safety. The finished casting had to
withstand impact, wear & tear and other variables associated with being exposed to
thousands of visitors daily. To make the casting, McCornack

are many factors that can contribute to mold rubber not curing including cold tem-
