i have a bit of a query for people on here who are more familiar with physical mediums. i had been working with casting resin epoxy in silicone molds i made myself a couple years ago and had to stop as my health had declined to the point i could no longer be up and working to that extent. i'm doing a lot better now but i am a little concerned about returning to resin work even with PPE since my health is still a bit precarious and also a bit concerned about environmental impacts of making more plastic, especially with something like resin.
does anyone know of good alternatives that might scratch the same itch? ideal would be if i could continue to use my silicone molds for it. or if you have any thoughts on environmental/health risks with resin and weighing the pros and cons i'd love to hear. i've just been working on painting some old casts i'd made but never finished and thinking "wow, i'd really miss working on stuff like this in some form if i just straight up quit"
