Hi Elaine

    I hope you are not expecting a technical answer here. I only ever
    used casting resin. It is a kind fiberglass resin. Its a little bit
    more expensive than the other kind, however, you dont have the
    problem with the resin going yellow as its stays clear even in large
    quantities. It does not heat up as much because it was designed to be
    used in large amounts, so the reaction is much slower. It takes about
    24 hours to get solid. Once I made a fake river with it in my
    backyard. It just looks like water. And used to set opal chips in it
    for jewelry and paperweights etc. You can set pictures in it as
    well. Someone else could probably give you more of a technical
    answer.
