Alumilite Casting Resin - The first to start using Alumilite Casting Resins for woodturning and helping make it a mainstream casting product.
Alumilite Clear Casting Resin - This formulation of Alumilite Casting Resin is based on feedback from Curtis to the owner of The Alumilite Corporation. Curtis did all of the initial testing to develop the current product including testing 7 different versions until the properties that are important to woodworkers were achieved.
Worthless Wood - Otherwise commonly referred to as hybrid blanks, the technique of casting wood and resin combinations to form a unique blank was originally created and shared with the woodturning community through an article Curtis wrote entitled "Worthless Wood - Salvaging Otherwise Worthless Wood with Pressure Casting". The technique has been used by thousands of craftspeople around the world since his original article.
