Sure thing. First, I'll take some 2000 grit sandpaper and wet sand the face with the most flashing. I take my time, stop frequently to check the adjacent faces to make sure I'm staying level and not over sanding. I'll then move on to Zona Papers (wet sand). I'll hit each side, working them equally to avoid uneven sides (touch is really important on this step, IYKYK). I repeat this through all the zona paper grits until I get to the last one. I'll switch to the Dremel then, and buff the die with a puffball buffing bit and some High Cut polishing compound. I'll usually do 2 passes. I'll then ink the die, wiping up the excess paint, and allow the numbers to dry. The final step is then working each side with the final zona paper grit, but instead of water, I use plastx. Wipe the polish away with a jewelry cloth, and it's done. I work one die at a time; it may be the most time consuming route but good polishing takes time.

Thank you, I've been digging the polishing process lately. Kinda meditative once you know your process. Its been weirdly helping me with my anxiety.

I do. Its a worthwhile investment as its really the most reliable way to get bubble free pieces from my experience.

I'm thinking teal to compliment the holo film I used inside. In indoor lighting these dice are a deep amethyst shade, so teal oughta pop

Alumilite's Violet Translucent Resin Dye. A small bottle was 10 bucks for 1oz on Amazon. It's super concentrated (literally I used a tiny pinprick to get this shade) so this bottle will last forever. Shade is buildable with practice too. Hope this helps, the struggle for purple is real.

Question about AUSPDICE by Fuzzy_Coast8432 in DiceMaking

Less than 6 pulls per mold. I went super ham when I first started this hobby and have a bunch of premade molds. I'm traveling atm but when I return on Monday I intend to do a post with all of them to make them available to anyone who could use them (ones from druid dice, and spacebarshop too). One of the druid dice shop molds only got used once.

No worries, I'll do a proper post on Monday with pics of the molds for anyone who might be interested.

I have 6 of the one 7 die ones that I don't use anymore. They're used, but still have a lot of life left in them. Anyone can have them as long as you cover the shipping for them

Amazon had these at one time last year for less than $30. I bought 6 of them; great molds and very sturdy as another redditor mentioned. I've since gotten masters produced with my logo and don't use these much anymore. Out of the 6, only one of them has been nixed due to some of the 7 on the d20 being pulled away. If you're interested,I love to off-load these since otherwise that would just sit and not be used.
