    Looks like a 2-part resin mix with all those bubbles in it.

    Right - resin poured into a 2 part mold that has been put together then when the resin hardens (or "sets") the mold is seperated and ya pop out the "casting".

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    I want to say it was the late sixties when home casting resin was all the rage. The frog's rough finish reminds me of pieces we turned out... Florida humidity, hard to get a good cure.:joyful:
