Cold cast resin/porcelain

[phc35]

I bought a kit of a bust and it is made of this material.I've never worked with this type before. It feels different than resin.Is it fragile? Can it be drilled to
pin parts? Will it glue wit 2 part epoxy? any other tips are welcomed

I have a couple of the Cylena Queen of the Night figures in cold cast, but can't help on what it takes to drill and pin. If you try it, I would proceed slowly.

I know a guy that has repainted a few of these, and I know that you CAN work on them. Unfortuantely, I do not know his technique. If it were me, I'd experiement on another figure or the bottom of the base where it cannot be seen and proceed slowly. The 2-part epoxy should work, as I have used it on everything including mending broken pottery. Good luck.

Is it fragile?

Not usually, but it is more brittle and will chip more easily when you're working on it if you have to cut or grind.

Can it be drilled to pin parts?

Yes. Generally you can judge how brittle it might be by how 'dry' and gritty the surface is. The less slick and like normal resin it feels the more dry powder is mixed in.

Will it glue wit 2 part epoxy?

Yep.

any other tips are welcomed

Don't drop it

Primes fine with anything you'd normally use on resin.
