    Default Slowly improving my cast blanks...

    Hi folks,

    Quick show off... I have been struggling a bit to get good looking colour combinations and swirls in cast blanks, but after today I think I'm getting better!











    Cheers,

    Danny

    i like the purple/black on the Jnr Gent the best
    i have heaps of troubles getting the swirls in Conduit, what are you using for a mold
    i think i might have to try the square cutting board molds next time

    Those were done tube-in in resin saver moulds. Tricky bit is waiting for the resin to thicken (but not solidify) before pouring, so they don't just mix and go very bland.

    Easier with slow setting epoxy than polyester resin!
