low viscosity resin

Any one got good supplier for small amounts of really low viscosity resin? hopefully some that have that anti-bubble stuff.. I have some clear stuff for rivers but I don't want to try to measure up small amounts of that for small resin casting and my normal resin I use for small stuff, which is cheap and easy, isn't low viscosity, so anything with any thing like a handle or something is gonna have huge air bubbles (I do heat it which is meant to decrease pour time in exchange for a lower viscosity.. but I doesn't make much difference in pour time.

Basically Silicone mold casting mostly. ideally NOT transparent as that can be a pain to see how well it's mixed (though I have some old resin pigments, or I normally use a drop of paint) but while I know larger amounts are cheaper, I don't really want LARGE amounts. The only stuff I have really found is very pricey with huge import costs..

some of my normal sources for looking don't seam to have too much... or too pricey...
 
Although as mentioned on my recasting thread I'm using up some Smooth-Cast (which I find is a bit bubbly, but it needs using) I generally buy the Fastcast from CFS fibreglass - about £30 for the 2kg "kit". I think some of their clear resins (sorry I know you don't want clear) come in smaller amounts, I have a feeling the last time I bought some stuff for "water" it was a smaller amount for more like £10. Not sure you'll find my for less than the £15-30 ballpark. I've always liked CFS and they've always been good to buy from over the years.

Thinking of resins and so forth I need to get some self skinning PU foam however for another project so need to check out suppliers if anyone has any recommendations (thread hijacking alert!), otherwise it'll be Neill's Materials who are not the cheapest, but seem to be a good supplier.
 
the only suppliers I saw for smooth-cast were USA imports with a nasty import price added.. I think I have heard of CFS fibreglass though...

Oh and I don't think I have much issue with hijacking threads ^_^
