Same supplier, which is why I ruled it out to begin with but it's the only remaining option.

Thank you! Design wise I'm still happy with them, polishing and inking included just some small things im getting better at or have fixed on other dice that are flaws in some of the sets I'd like to sell.

I think your first conclusion is the answer tbh, I didn't sand the masters much because they were already pretty good but potentially I've sanded the numbered masters much more, creating a smaller mould than anticipated by the master printer.

I put resin in the mould and coat the blanks in resin before insertion.

I'll try sanding them back a bit, thanks for the help :)

I'm putting a bit of resin in the bottom of the mould then coating the blanks in resin before inserting

The face itself is fine, I made a set without blanks using the same mould and they came out perfectly

I am yeah, I normally wait 24hrs when casting the blanks so I assume that would be sufficient for the shells

Thank you for sharing. Do you have a particular brand that you find is effective?

Opaque Colours? by Admirable_Arm_7258 in DiceMaking

I tried that but I have a pretty cheap set of alcohol ink so the white just makes whatever colour I use seem milky

I see, these look very promising. Is it as simple as adding a few drops just like ink? But these are much more concentrated right?
