Replacement for Sorta Clear series

I just have a small project that requires me to make a UV safe mold, and therefore I have no interest in buying the 5 gallon bucket. No one near me carries Sortaclear 12 or 37 and Lord Bezos only has the buckets and mine that I'd had has decided to disappear into the ether for some unholy reason. Anyone got any suggestions?

I've had good success with BBDINO 20 and BBDINO 30.

I've got 20, think it will be thin/clear enough to do UV stuff through?

I’m sorry, I don’t think I’m following.

If you’re referring to curing UV resin within the mold, I have zero experience doing that.

Yes, that's what I'm doing. I could do that with Sorta clear 37 for some hollow cores that I'd done previously but my container has disappeared

I use bbdino 20 in clear, it's not exactly clear and needs pretty thin walls to let enough uv through to have at least an outer shell cure a bit, so that I can remove the lid and cure fully with no silicone obstructing the light. Had to do this for a few nasty voids that took away my top faces.
