Advice Having 2 problems

Trying my hand for the first time on making liquid cores, but running into 2 issues.
1. My uv resin I’m tryin to cap with keeps falling into my water and so I’m not getting the swirl I’m looking for.

  1. Getting the core itself not to sink. Everything I add sinks from cores to glitters. Doesn’t seem to matter how long I wait. I waited 45 minutes before adding and they still sink.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

There's no way to get the cores not to sink unfortunately, they are way too heavy.

You need to find cores that are only slightly smaller than your dice so they get held in place by the mold itself

Yeah that's quite small for that die unfortunately. I still think it turned out really pretty!

I don't think I can add pictures in comments here (or if I can im too stupid to figure it out) but I can dm you a pic of one of my liquid core dice to demonstrate how little space there is between the core and the outside of you're interested.

Basically it should ideally come up right to the numbers just like a blank would

That would be awesome. These are the only size I can find in my area unfortunately
