I think it depends on what you properties you are looking for. Generally no, it is not a good idea.

I’m looking for 25 micron.  
I’m a jeweler designer. Castable 02 isn’t suitable at all. the gem cuts (holes) are often closed but we didn’t design them closed in Matrix.  
I’m looking for another resin which is good for jewelry.(I know blue-cast is better than castable resin)
