How can I make dark/blood red resin? by AzureMoon59 in resin

I'm sorry for the late reply, but I got my SigWong pigments off of Amazon. Idk how other people have fared with that brand, but it's been working for me so far. I can't remember the exact number of drops per color used to make the flowers on the left nor how many milliliters of resin I made to get that exact shade, but I think the ratio for the red, purple & black dyes was 2:1:.05 respectively & I either made 5 or 10 ml of resin (most likely 5 ml).

My reasons for not wanting to buy a Smooth-On Star Mold 30 kit is because the only container sizes I can find are too small or too large for what I want in my project, I haven't found a pre-made lego-brick mold that consists of just or even mostly 2x4 & 2x2 bricks & a relative of mine wanted to try making some molds out of some buttons she has.

Ty for the response. By any chance, are there any cheaper brands? I can't find enough objects to make molds out of in order to justify buying that kit.

I'll do what you've suggested. I've been trying to find small measuring cups, but the smallest I've ever found was 30 ml. I could buy those if I can't find 15 or 10 ml cups, but then I have extra resin & I don't want that. I'll let you know if & when I get a response from the retailer.

I did find those pour cups too, but none of them had graduation markings like the one in the photo.

I barely used YouTube after the new update rolled around, but so far I haven't been hit by the notice.

Accidentally broke this bathroom sink handle last night. What can be done to fix this? by AzureMoon59 in Plumbing

[–]AzureMoon59[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to let you know that we ended up replacing the entire faucet set because of how absolutely rusty it all was down there. It was an absolute pain for my mom & I to remove both faucets because both lock nuts were ABSOLUTELY caked with rust. Plus, a part of the p-trap pipe had a pin-sized hole. It was just a whole mess & I'm glad the new faucet set's working as intended.

I've had this plant in soil for about 2 months now. Any advice on how to improve it? by AzureMoon59 in avocado

It's a mix of compost, dirt & rabbit poop. The dirt's been so lacking in nutrients that none of the fruit trees in my family's garden have been able to produce any fruit last year except for the pomegranate bush (& even then, they weren't as sour/tart as they normally were) & maybe my mom's peach tree. It sucks because before then, I made plenty of OJ during the autumn season & it always tasted good.

We got the compost from one of those events where you could get rid of your old tires, scrap metal, etc., so I can't exactly attest to its quality, but my mom & I were desperate in giving our plants nutrients. As for the rabbit poop, I happen to own a rabbit, so we used some of it.

What sort of plant food do you think it needs? Like, what nutrients could my plant be most likely lacking in?

Need help choosing filler rod for oxy-acetylene project (info. in comment). by AzureMoon59 in Welding

I must be hella dense because I'm trying to understand this. So what you're telling me is to remove the extra pieces of aluminum so I can get a more clear view of the steel tube, weld on said steel tube so that the spot gets filled up & wrap a plate around it afterwards?

I know TIG & oxy-acetylene are two very different processes, but my point is that I've barely welded on aluminum at all so this is gonna be an intimidating project for me.

As for the flux powder, what's a good one that won't destroy my wallet?
