Tools required for casting polyester resin?

1942 was the Triumph's first year of release and this particular pen has a lot of family history. My father-in-law bought it (it must've been out no more than a few weeks) on his way to ship out as a SeaBee. He carried it with him throughout the war in the South Pacific (Guadalcanal and other garden spots) and used it to write all his letters home. I had it restored as a Christmas gift for my wife two years ago. She was thrilled, though I use it more myself these days. Two quick pics, both pre- and post-restoration:

Good find (thanks!) on the casting instructions. Here's a YouTube channel of a guy who casts and turns his own blanks for shaving brushes. Lots of info in there if you can ignore the state of his shop and general informality.
