How to Make an Auto Lens with Clear Resin and Silicone Molds

Part 1
In this video, we go through the process of re-creating a rare brake tail-light lens for a 1958 BMW Isetta. We go through setting up a properly made 2-part silicone mold with vents and a fill port, as well as many tips and tricks along the way. We will finally cast BJB's WC-783 Clear Polyurethane Resin in to produce a beautiful tail light lens that looks as good as the original!
