Conformal transformations are applied in the context of general relativistic elasticity. Expressions relating relativistic elastic quantities and tensors are obtained for two conformal spacetimes, whose material metrics are also conformally related. Non-static shear-free spherically symmetric elastic solutions of the Einstein field equations are constructed by performing conformal transformations of spacetime and material metrics of a known non-static shear-free spherically symmetric elastic solution.
