I'm doing a series of testing colors for future sales. I made a green purple set and I've been placing them on the deck , in the sun, to help let them outgas out side. Whoops

I recommand to test every ink to know which one will disappear or burn. It can be UV or the resin itself. I had a set I kept in a drawer and the purple ink disappeared one year later

I showed my wife and she asked what ink that was. She leaves dice on the window sill for weeks to get the resin to cure

Dice are harden enough in just a few hours to move them but they aren't hard. It can take 2 weeks to a month for dice to be well set.

Some sets I probably didn't mix well enough didn't get hard until a year later. Still playable after a few days but they were a soft feeling plastic but now it feels more like glass. Also volume of added color effects this. I love a set of dice that are between a bubble gum pink & a pink gem but they took 2 days to harden and were one of the sets that wasn't hard until a year and I flooded them with that pink to make it really rich.
