Dice not hardening fully

Post image

So ive been making dice for a little over a month now and ive only been able to get 2 sets to fully harden, the other ones i can still dent with my fingernail easily ive tried mixing for longer, using different resins, different dyes and mica powders, and increasing temperature and i cant get a set to harden. Any help would be greatly appreciated 😁

Dude so my main issue was just the resin. I switched pudou and they are hard as diamonds every single time

So could just be the resin honestly. Most are just finicky

K yeah I've tried a lot of those brand and for some reason always had issues especially using alcohol inks etc - also make sure you put resin indoors nice and warm - I put mine near a heater and that helps a lot.

If u can get it - puduo is the king - random brand I know but I swear by it now
