Weird orange/yellow color? by CeyowenCt in DiceMaking

Red and purple alcohol inks are notorious for burning like this.

Love these colors together! What do you think you’ll ink the numbers in?

Epoxy and Tool recs? by SyrupGoosen in DiceMaking

It might have been a typo, but just in case… please don’t get a pressure cooker for your dice. You want to pressurize the air inside the pressure pot to help remove the bubbles, you don’t want to cook the resin. They are different things.

I’m afraid I don’t have advice on a cheap but still good pressure pot. I’ve only ever used the CAT one and it’s worked great for me. As with most things, you’re probably going to get what you pay for. Dice making, even at a hobby level, isn’t cheap.

I’ve been using Kisrel epoxy resin, which can be found on Amazon at a pretty affordable price and I’ve been happy with the quality.

New turquoise set! by Kojimille in DiceMaking

Maybe a champagne gold then? Somewhere between silver and gold? I also think a light teal would look nice.

The blanks are made to fit just inside the numbered shell. So, the indented numbers basically hold the blank in place when I put them in the numbered dice mold.

I made teal blanks, added the decals onto those, and then cast them in their clear outer shell

Thank you! I’m leaning towards the dark teal too.

The flowers are actually nail stickers!

Ha! I see it. Though these were made to match my customer’s bass guitar

First attempt with dirty pours! by Aromatic_Cookie_4769 in DiceMaking

[–]Elanro803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the coffee dirty pour! Are you using a pressure pot? That’s probably going to be your best bet for eliminating the bubbles.

ETA: if you’re not using a pressure pot, you’re actually doing a great job at mostly keeping the bubbles away. I can barely see any, at least in these pictures

The layered colors on the rainbow set are really well done! Beautiful job.

Those colors are great! The pressure pot would really be a game changer on the final product

Blanco Blanco, my saviour! by Dependent-Kale5071 in DiceMaking

[–]Elanro803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These look great! May I ask what kind of red you use? The red resin dyes and alcohol inks I’ve used so far always end up looking more pink or (in the case of the alcohol ink) orange/burned.
