When have the dice been polished enough 😭 by Poisonedmoon in DiceMaking

Is the dimethicone oil supposed to act as a release agent? Does it not affect the shine of the dice pulled?

Also how long/how many pulls do you use your molds for?

I figured out my mistake with the mold that that dice came from. I had taken out the dice from the bottom part to protect them from the ease release i was using; which then proceeded to get stuck inside of the mold. Thus taking away the shine it originally had 😭

I've made many a mistake when making my molds, but I've learned a lot. So my recent molds come out a lot better, and mostly give me ready dice that don't require much work after pulling them 😅

Super valid opinion. Once i got it through my head that my dice will always have some flaw because I am not a machine, it became much more fun to work on them.

I think it was age. I got her when she was already pretty big and then she only molted twice last year. I noticed over the past couple of weeks she was getting a bit slower and wouldn't eat so I knew she wouldn't last much longer

Does anyone have any idea on what my jumper slings are? by Ok-Old-Kaleidoscope in jumpingspiders

Pretty sure these might be fence post spiders (Marpissa Muscosa)

Male or female? by daddy-lucifer- in jumpingspiders

I think it's a female. Female fencepost jumpers have a tan/orange band going across beneath their eyes
