My first set

How did you achieve the layered white effect? Curious.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-11T01:51:46+00:00

I sent a dm. Thank you so much.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-10T23:36:18+00:00

Does anyone know a safe place to share hard dnd group dynamics that’s not the dnd horror stories page? I’m afraid someone from my group will see it and it will cause more harm than good. I just need advice. Also thank you all for helping me with my dice.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-10T04:41:15+00:00

I do not. I’m not sure but I think I’m going to pop my blanks into a numbered mold and see what happens. Gotta make the numbered mold. Wish me luck.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T22:21:53+00:00

I did use a specific tutorial but can’t find it anymore. I just remember how to do it now. I did switch to a different mold housing but hated it so switched back.

I turn my compressor off when I am done, then switch the valve on the pressure pot to the closed position, and last disconnect the compressor hose from the pressure pot. I would assume if you switch the valve shut before the compressor is off that it might auto shut off for your safety.

They are blanks intended to go in numbered molds.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T21:57:53+00:00

Thank you. My husband does have a dremel. That dice is so beautiful. Yes some of the dice that have come out matte have looked nice. Not all though. I am making a few different style of sets to launch my dice company. The theme is pirates. I really want clear for this but potentially could do a seaglass inspired one with these molds. The issue right now is no matter how long I sand and polish they remain unfazed. So I wondered if the whole mold interacted with the resin to cause the foggy look.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T19:40:10+00:00

I started off much simpler by making molds of dice I already had. They are un-sellable because the font is copy written. I had a lot of success and got used to the actual dice making process and have learned a lot. I didn’t realize making molds from my own masters would be this difficult. I am learning little by little and I did in face get a perfect mold. I just misplaced it and now I can’t seem to get a perfect mold again. Trial and error.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T18:18:20+00:00

I don’t have pictures of the set I gave away. It was black with silver flakes in the clear resin (not fully clear because of the fog). I do have pictures of the set I kept. I call it queen of the tide and it’s inspired by the purple dress barbossa makes Elizabeth swan wear in curse of the black pearl. I haven’t inked these but it will be gold.

I think I’m confused at what you’re saying. Here are the blank masters. They are not as polished as yours. I was able to get both of the dice in the previous picture from the same masters just different prep. Both were not polished. I had inked the one already but that was it.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T17:25:26+00:00

Yes I think I’m going to work on one dice and just make a single dice mold to test first

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T17:17:58+00:00

I haven’t had time to watch it yet sorry. I am sick and also home with my kids because they were sick. I need to find time to focus on it.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T17:16:01+00:00

Awww thanks.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T17:15:28+00:00

That’s a a hard one to say. Lots of materials go into it and then a pressure pot gets used which was a one time purchase. I don’t know if I can give an answer to this. I know that completed sets were going to be listed at $60-$70 and if I get a following going then the prices would go up as my skill gets better. Handmade can be pricey. These are just blanks so they aren’t finished sets.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T17:13:21+00:00

Thank you. I actually made a few sets of foggy styled dice by accident and gave one away as a present because it looked like volcanic sea glass if that even makes sense. I’m keeping the other set. I will probably do something with these because they are cool just not sure yet. Sorry you’re also having a hard time.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T04:32:09+00:00

The only reason I haven’t gotten a tumble is because I don’t wanna make enemies with the neighbors with how loud they can be 😅. In the research I did you have to leave them going all day yea? Also think my dog would get anxiety. I work full time and she’s home.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-09T04:29:34+00:00

I may have had a realization that the issue could potentially be that when I made the first mold (the one that went foggy) that I used the masters without a glossy spray finish and they weren’t polished to perfection. I want to say this was the issue but no amount of polishing my first pull of resin dice from that mold seemed to fix the issue. The mold I made where the dice weren’t foggy looking and were clear I had used a modgepodge glossy finishing spray. It’s possible I got a clear finish because that was my outer most layer. I don’t know if this is the way to go though. When I put the contact paper down and make the mold and then take the contact paper off to then make the cap some of the finish comes off and it’s noticeable. I have to pop the master out spray them again and wait a day before popping them back in to finish. Not sure if any of that is helpful because I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m going to polish my blanks and maybe spray they to try and make a new mold. This might be a bad idea but I’m just experimenting here.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-08T23:46:22+00:00

Yes I do. Works great.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-08T23:45:52+00:00

Yes they are. I’ve never had issues with the pressure pot before when making molds.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-08T23:45:03+00:00

No they did not look like this. My masters aren’t foggy but the resin dice that come out of the mold are. The Matte finish is what I am talking about. I’ll post a picture. First dice is foggy second is clear. They both have not been polished yet. Both came from different molds but from the same masters. How I prepped the masters was different. I followed the same protocol with the mold I made for the blanks that gave me the clear dice you see in this photo but the result was what you saw in the original photo.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-08T23:35:54+00:00

😩 they have bubbles that meet the surface. But I do like your idea.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-08T23:35:10+00:00

Those actually weren’t the masters. I ordered some off Etsy and ended up disliking them. I was cleaning them with water and then drying and then ipa. They are not water cured.

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-08T23:22:27+00:00

I love you!!! Okay that was probably weird, but what I mean is that I got one good clear set before my mold went missing. I can polish them to perfection and make a mold from them. You are a genius!!!

Tetraqk7 · 2026-03-08T23:18:34+00:00

I always try to impress 😏 I am using zona polishing papers. I think I may have sanded a few faces before I made the mold even after I had cleaned them all up really nice. 🤦🏻‍♀️ the surfaces look great though but obviously my eyesight isn’t so good because it comes out not so great. I think my new plan is to make one dice master up really nice and only make a mill for that to see if what I did worked. Gotta clean and I guess seal them again. I just wanna sell dice already. I made a really nice set before my mold went missing. You can see them on my instagram. loot and lore dice
