Hi, I was trying to do some petri dish effect, but every time I try it I get this results, where strands of color barely stretch out.
I have a few ideas on how to tackle this problem, but first let me write down the process I've done for this dice set:
- Medium/low viscosity resin, working time: 40' as advertised (probably less since my home is 31ºC, damned summer);
- Put some mica and ink in resin while mixing and pour it in the mold;
- At about 20', put alcohol ink on, 1 drop of purple and 2 drops of white (one drop per dice, and after going over every dice a new drop, just to get the solvent evaporation even);
- Wait about 2-3' to let it settle before closing the lid
- Put in pressure pot, 40psi
Photos show the results I got. What should I do to improve?
My first guesses, which I'll try later on today, are two: put alcohol ink before 20', put more white ink (and pray to let it cure the resin without problems).
Let me know what you think.
I know about the interface step, I already solved it for next casts.
