New registrants: if you try to register you will get a message that we are not accepting new members. Due to the limitations of this forum software which is not designed to deal with incessant CIA harrassment, we have no alternative but to disable automatic registration, and then we can't change this automatic message. Your account needs to be created by admin before you can post in the forums. Because otherwise, almost all registrants are CIA sock puppets. To get a forum account you need to send a brief presentation email to loohanforum at gee mail dot com, also suggesting a user name. Then we can enable you manually. But before you even do that, take a look around the forum and my site and decide whether you REALLY WANT to join/post, before you jack us around. Most seemingly genuine people who apply fail to even ever log in once to change their password after we go through the work of creating a membership for them. Then we must quickly delete their account again lest the CIA has intercepted their temporary password. And of the few who do change their password, most still never post. Maybe they realize we are too weird for them, I don't know. They get real quiet, never to be heard from again.
GLOSSARY: Sometimes unusual terminology or abbreviations are used that with some luck you might find defined here.

silicone caulk cheaper than resin! in USA
At least cheaper than epoxy. I have not priced Bondo in some time.
https://siliconedepot.com/12-pack-of-ra … e-sealant/
12 Pack of Random Colored Factory Seconds (Light & Dark Mixed Silicone Sealant) $22.00
Our factory Seconds are 1st rate quality sealant but they are mixed colors. You may get a cartridge with red and aluminum or black and grey in the same cartridge but it's all good material. Perfect for areas where it doesn't matter what it looks like! This is RTV Silicone Sealant in 10.1oz cartridges. They are sold in cases of 12.
1 gallon is 128 oz. 10.1X12=121.2 oz, or almost a gallon.
If you buy 2 you get free shipping. I did not get charged sales tax.
So that is almost 2 gallons for only $44. One can make globs of Buddha Compassion Program, whatever.
I also ordered caulk with aluminum and some with bronze, thus can take different programming than ordinary silicone.

And a tube of food-safe.
One consideration: silicone floats whereas resin sinks. So if you want to make water gifts, include some stone or chunk of metal for weight.

Re: silicone caulk cheaper than resin! in USA
I just ordered my 2nd batch of 2 dozen, then now got this in an email:
Price increases are underway
After continued price increases from our suppliers, we are officially raising our prices. The official price increase will be taking place over the weekend. Our website may experience downtime as a result on Saturday and Sunday.
Our pricing will remain competitive within our industry. If you find a price on an equivalent product that is lower, please let us know and we’d be happy to see if we can match or beat that price.
We will be issuing a 1 time coupon on Monday so that anyone who isn't able to place an order tonight can still get 1 last order at a lower price. Please stay subscribed to this email for that coupon as well as other updates from us. Have a wonderful weekend!
I'm not sure if the prices will affect the clearance stock.
