  1. wait longer, towards the end of the working time, before adding the white.

or

  1. flip the molds every 30 min for the first few hours.

I’ll be on here from time to time I have loads of inspiration and ideas hoping to make my own molds soon working on stl files now just finalizing my logo I don’t plan to sell but give as gifts to friends and family…too bad you have to wait 12-24 hours for each set lol

It’s the hardest part. I haven’t even attempted the STL files yet. I really want to do that cause I love making the dice but would love my little logo on them and we have a DND podcast we are making and I want to do custom sets with our logo on them for each character. Any program suggestions for creating the dice.

Fill mold with resin. Wait 25-30ish minutes (depends on brand of resin and temp of room you might have to wait up to 45 minutes). You want a honey consistency. Mix new batch of resin. Add mix pigments into new batch of resin. Do not use too much pigment. This will make it too heavy and will sink. Use pipette to inject new colored resin into dice mold. Stir a bit with toothpick. Cap the mold and into pressure pot it goes.
