just an update.
having some issues w/ the new resin. It should be fully cured w/in 24 hours, but definitely not the case. I had one cure at room temp for 24+ and then 4-6 @ 180+ deg. F. But still a bit tacky. Talked to tech support and they think it may be a mixture weight ratio issue or a humidity issue. So still working it out. But in the mean time I've been able to make molds for 3 sets. So once I get it down it should be pretty fluid w/ getting them done.

should be receiving some new resin from Smooth-On today, and will try this stuff out. I've seen where they've used it for lenses, so should be good to go. I'll have a mold prebaking right now, and will be casting it this evening. So should have a set done tomorrow night w/ the new resin. I'll put some pics up!
