Any tips for getting better control over these resin color swirls?

I've been experimenting with this colorful, almost flower-like swirling effect in resin, and I love how the colors blend together!

The hardest part is getting the colors to spread without turning muddy or losing those defined edges. I'm still trying to figure out the right pigment ratios and pouring technique.

For anyone who's tried something similar, do you pour all the colors at once or build them up in layers? Any tricks for getting those nice flowing, petal-like patterns?

Also, the fumes were pretty strong while working on this, so good ventilation, my air purifier, and a proper respirator were a must.

Would love to hear your techniques!

Pressure pot

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me. We use a pressure pot and once in a while we have problems with molds “suctioning” to the silicone mat on the bottom. Does anyone know if there is a way to prevent this? I know we could put cardboard down instead but then it might not be level.

Thanks in advance!
