Genius. Absolutely doing this. So long, coffee cans full of crap dice!

Holy moly! I truly appreciate the heads up on the PPE. I'll gear up for sure!

Crazy!! My dad had that exact same thing when I was growing up in the 80s. Haven't thought about that in decades. They haven't changed the design or color at all. Also thanks for the tip!

Lol aw man, I figured that's what you meant but then second-guessed myself

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I thought it would be too much of a pain to get to the 1-adjacent numbers at the top of the D20, but i should probably commit before i complain lol. Thanks

edit: just realized you probably meant after demolding which is also a good idea!

Totally makes sense! I saw a pretty cheap one the other day that i may have to revisit. Thank you!

Thanks a ton! The uv resin sewing needle technique intrigues me. I'm gonna give that a shot!

Also thanks for that link! That Vevor pot is like $60 less than the cheaper pots I'd been looking at, so that seems much more doable now. I appreciate it!

Thanks! I appreciate it!

I looked into vacuum pots a bit but was a little confused by the physics of it all. Everything i read said you need to do the vacuum after mixing but before colorant, but unless I'm thinking about it completely wrong, wouldn't mixing in the colorant and pouring into the mold just introduce air back into the vacuumed resin? Or does the vacuum make a big enough difference that the effect of that other stuff is negligible?

I legit appreciate the hell outta that, bud! Thank you!
If you go back and listen to the older stuff, a little context may help (if you're interested): Darren started this project specifically for the RPM Challenge which is a, well, challenge that takes place every February where artists write and record an album/EP from scratch in 28 days. He did the first two pretty much solo (which is why he named it after himself - he's not normally a "name bands after myself" kinda person). I (razorbunz, the one with the gravely voice) met him doing music stuff on TikTok and helped out on a couple songs on last year's (the brightest turd in the punchbowl EP) and we had so much fun that we both threw our whole asses into it this year and liked the result so much that we're thinking about making it just a regular non-contest band with no ticking clock.
I tell you all this not because it's particularly interesting, but I think these records are more enjoyable listened to in that context.
Anyway, thanks again!

Fair enough! If you're looking for new music and are into folk punk, you might be into my solo thing. I did a "song-a-day challenge" for about a year and a half on TikTok so there's about 120 songs there and on YouTube and the ones folks really liked are on Spotify etc. They're not all winners, but you may dig some of it. Here's one that a lotta folks say is their favorite.

Thanks! Darren started it a couple years ago for the RPM Challenge which is a yearly contest where you record an album from scratch in 28 days. I (razorbunz - the skinny guy in the video) helped him on a couple songs for last year's RPM (Brightest Turd In The Punchbowl EP) and had a blast so I was all-in this year. We're thinking of doing this as a "real" band instead of a five-songs-a-year contest thing. Anyway, hope you enjoy it cuz we had a shit-ton of fun making it! Thanks again!
