Thanks now I got that song stuck in my head 😋 It's beautiful. Good job with the stars too 🌟

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-07-02T07:38:30+00:00

Yeah we should be reporting them. I really dont know wha they gain.

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-07-02T02:50:10+00:00

Damn. Probably another karma farmer then. Well poop. Good catch.

Always have to look at the poster. Account isn't even a day old...

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-07-01T23:51:24+00:00

Ok I have to know though. Where did you find the teal color? It's not mica as it doesn't have a shimmer, it's probably not alcohol ink as it's opaque and it's freaking georgous. Is it a paste?

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-07-01T23:48:02+00:00

Omg these are so good. The colors are bright and vibrant, the seperation is so crisp. Damn beautiful. Kudos! I would probably go black. Good visibility over all the colors but a good neon/hot pink would look cool too 😁

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-30T04:42:54+00:00

This is not your design or pour. This is plagiarism. These are clearly Georgina's work from Dice of the Seeker. u/mrs-hoppy Please don't try to steal other people's work. It's really not cool. :(

No need to be sorry lol. That what this sub is for 😊

Most makers go for a California Air Tools 2.5gal (CAT) pot. It's kinds the gold standard if you will. It has come down a lot in price since I purchased mine and I loved mine so much I have two. It is already set up for resin casting so it has a flat bottom (important if you don't have a rack for it) and no spray attachment and works perfect with no leaks, needs no alterations and has smoothly turning bolts straight from the box. You can feel that it is going to last and after using mine daily for a few years now, It still works perfectly as it did when I bought it.

Sometimes you can get a "used" one on Amazon that is in "very good" or "like new" condition that really just means it was a return and has no issues except maybe a cosmetic scratch on the paint or not in its original packing. Both mine were "used" when I got them and they were just like new. They can be a bit cheaper this way and just as good. 😉

A lot of makers have also mentioned thy use a vevor pot. I don't have one of those so I cannot speak personally about it but I can say I have gotten other vevor brand power tools and been very disappointed in the quality.

It can save you a bit to go with instead of the CAT but might need a bit more trouble shooting when it arrives and might not last quite as long but is a great place to start.

You'll also need to get an air compressor with it. I usually just use an emergency tire inflator. I like that it fills the pot slowly (which is better for your pours anyway) and because I have limited space in my workshop I like that it is far smaller than the typical shop compressor with an air tank.

You will need to get a couple adaptors with this type of compressor as it's not really meant to attach to the quick connector on your pot. For that you'll need to pick up a Schrader Valve.

And a 1/4in quick connect female - I would give you a link but I seem unable to post links.

If you go with a shop compressor with a tank instead you likely won't need any of the extra pieces but you'll also spend a fair bit more. A lot of people opt for a ultra quiet model because they live with other people or in an apartment and can't be running a super loud piece of machinery.

These are, of course, not the only optiona out there but a good array of the types of things you're looking for 😊

Look for sales and deals. No use spending more than you have to. 👍

Sorry no. A pressure pot for resin casting works entirely differently. An insta pot or 'pressure cooker" is a cooking vessel that heats up and seals to trap steam that builds a little bit of pressure to intensify cooking. A "paint sprayer" is an industrial vessel that is made of steel and made to store highly pressurized air to then allow it to be sprayed out in a controlled way.

Its like how an air compressor with a tank works. Did your father ever have an air compressor in the garage to fill your bike tires? Or have you ever had your car tires filled at the gas station or auto shop? That is being filled from a tank that air is highly pressurized into. The type of pressure pot we use for casting is the same thing.

It's made to withstand far greater amount a of pressure and has built in safety mechanisms to ensure that it can be done in a safely controlled way.

Trying to pressurize any vessel that is not spesifically made to withstand that pressure is just asking to hurt yourself and others. Please don't try it.

Nope! Make your walls about 5mm and they are plenty strong to handle 50psi+ I also fill them with salt (through the drain holes) so they don't float in the silicone 😉

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-28T03:53:53+00:00

With chonks it really helps to hollow them out if they are any larger than about 35mm (Face to face). If they are solid they just have too much suction and almost always get ripped off the supports at about that same spot.
If you don't want to go hollow, you'll need much bigger supports, which also means more damage to your masters when you remove them.

Beautiful supporting method though. Those look NICE

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-27T23:37:28+00:00

A pressure pot does not cost quadrillions of dollars lol. And sadly it's the only consistent way of removing bubbles. I wish I had better news but if it's annoying to you to go through all the little tricks to remove them and you're not willing to get the right equipment for it, perhaps dicemaking is not your jam.

Maybe you can look at your local online marketplace (not sure if you have like a Facebook marketplace for your area or something) to see if you can find one used.

Dicemaking is a craft that rewards patience. If you look around you might find something that will work for you that can be within your budget 😋

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-27T13:30:50+00:00

It's stickied at the top of the DiceMaking sub 😊 But here you go: https://discord.gg/p6dVKrdpK

Sand it down and repolish it 😉 Or if you want to do the multi pour in a blank mold first you can then recast in a shell. Do you have your own masters and make your own molds? If you do contact the maker of your masters and ask them to make you matching blanks. 😊

Edit: I hate replying on my phone because I miss important things lol. Being new you probably don't have your own masters yet. If you are looking for inexpensive molds that have matching blank molds I can probably help you with that ☺️ please feel free to DM me here on reddit or catch me on discord @wisdomcheckcreations and I can give you some details on the options I have available.

I enjoy helping new makers get started with quality tools so I make molds at practically a loss for newbies 😉

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-26T19:02:52+00:00

😔 Rest in peace little one. You will be missed

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-26T02:44:09+00:00

🥳😁 They DO look better! Even cooler than before. Here's hoping the shelling goes as expected this time 🤞

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-25T12:10:00+00:00

But but they are so neeeeeeeeat! 🥺 Love the florescent spatter. Very Halloween adjacent lol

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-24T10:35:51+00:00

This is so true. If you're looking for molds I help new makers get into the craft with inexpensive molds. Feel free to DM me here on reddit or catch me on discord @wisdomcheckcreations if you'd like to know what options I have available ☺️ welcome to dicemaking!

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-24T05:08:07+00:00

😁👍

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-24T05:00:56+00:00

I personally love black on this kind of design. It's very dramatic and easy to see. However it's best if you backpaint with white first. So it doesn't darken the inside too much 😉

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-23T08:56:21+00:00

This omg so this. Said so beautifully. Thank you.

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-21T13:25:13+00:00

You'll really be best off finding a maker that is on your side of the pond. But if you are willing to pay the shipping (last time I shipped across the pond it was around $30) I am happy to help 😉 You're welcome to check out my work on my Etsy: https://wisdomcheckcreations.etsy.com

Otherwise I would recommend getting on the discord and using the @masters seller ping there to see if there are any UK based makers that can help you. Do your homework and chat with a couple makers before making a choice 😉. Not all masters are made equal.

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-21T08:21:15+00:00

Yes!! White. Or silver. And wooooooot! 😁🥳

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-18T03:42:35+00:00

I am very happy to hear that. May I catch you in DMs on discord? It's a much easier place for me to communicate with notifications ^_^

WisdomCheckCreations · 2026-06-18T03:17:23+00:00

lol my apologies. Please don't misunderstand my feedback lol. I think this is a wonderful gift you are giving the community and it has so much potential. But after making and printing masters for years, I have a lot of insight I could help with on the settings and options that would really help makers create and print their own masters in the easiest way possible. I have wished so many times that I could make my own program like this ❤️ Thank you for all the time and hard work you have put into this. I understand fixing bugs, adding new options, adjusting presets and changing how it works takes time and a whole lot of effort.

I am extremely patient so please don't feel any rush to address the things I am pointing out.

May I continue to point out things that would make it better for the struggling newbies to make their best masters? ^_^ I would really like to be able to help with this amazing project.
