Mitch, Use a polyethylene ( tupperware type plastic ) mold to cast your resin. The size depends on if you want to cast reel seats, handle accents, winding checks etc. Use the correct size mold for your finished diameter, but make sure to adjust your catalyst for the mold size. Most craft supply houses carry these types of molds. The article lists the appropriate mold size for the reel seats, and at the end of the article there is a list of some suppliers to get you started. If you have any more questions, just post them and I will be happy to try and help out.

Right, information about what to use for a mold was indeed included in the article. Joe did a really good job of taking us through the step by step procedure, but you may want to read through it a couple of times just to make sure you didn't miss anything. I think it's likely to start a rash of polyester casters - the technique can be used for so many things related to our rod building endeavors.
