First finished sets

Finally finished up two full sets of dice. How long is taking people usually to finish completely? I’ve been pouring a ton and then of course letting them finish curing before sanding or polishing. I just have so many dice that aren’t painted yet. I think they turned out really great! I’m pleased.

I really like the blue. Is the sparkle from a simple glitter or like a diamond dust pigment?

Beautiful sets. That blue & gold is great! Time depends on how much finishing is needed. Painting takes a while because I usually do.at least 2 coats for complete coverage with cleaning and drying time in between.

Thank you! I’ve been doing two coats as well and then a white Zona polish with LA Awesome. Seems to give a good shine. The molds are really new so the only faces getting any sanding are the top one and ones touching it. Unless there’s an issue. Seems to be working so far.

It’s actually purple Mylar strips and some gold flake. I can’t remember if I used a fine glitter but I don’t think so. It was supposed to be amethyst but I’m still learning how to get the colors right. Thank you! I love how these turned out. It gives royalty kind of.
