TikiAno. I should have been more specific. It's not the oft-used clear casting resin. It is a plastic, but it's not clear, and it's not anything you can get at a craft store.

And actually, it's so damn hard that I can't break it with a sledge hammer, regular hammer, sheer force of will, nada. At half an inch thick, the stuff is nearly indestructible.

Which means I'm moving onto Plan B. Ah yes, Plan B. Plan B deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the...sorry, wrong movie. Plan B involves individually casting the chunks, ensuring repeat-ability.

I'm working on that mold today.

And while I was at it, I ordered a case of restaurant grade mai tai glasses, and will be engraving them for my home bar, and if anyone else is interested after I get a successful run (which should be relatively easy), I'll be doing them for home bars, as well as with some classic designs like the ones that were available last year through the Hukilau site. Obviously not that design, but I've started to cook some things up.
