I did this way first because it's how everyone said to do it 🤣 I mean it worked but sheesh I think run it clear mix then maybe a short run may work best for me 🤷♀️
FYI, as I'm looking at this on Amazon, 8/16/2023, this is a "lightning deal" for 20% off. Rae, you know what I'm going to say about the voids in the lid handles, right? I'd fill them with a pipette. (I know you hate them!) Gorgeous vintage glass colors on those boxes!
I think i saw somewhere maybe that adding alcohol ink in before the machine use caused a lot of the “foam”? Not sure. Most people I have seen use the machine with resin and no additives then add additives slowly after bubble removal. Makes not much sense but….. overall way less bubbles I guess.
I've seen people do it both ways but the majority say additives first because you mix in more bubbles 🤷♀️ I'll try the other way next week sometime 🤣 either way it's already 1000 times better than me just mixing it!
I have found adding color before makes it take longer. I usually run it through clear once then add color and see if it needs another run or not. Colorant makes it take longer. I love my machine but yes it does take trial and error to learn it. Lol
Also I bought a silicone bowl that is short and wide but fits in it perfectly and lets you do more at a time because it has more surface area for the bubbles to raise to.
I have a silicone bowl coming that will hopefully fit or maybe it's already here I can't remember! I'll try that way too once clear once with color. There's so much mixed advice on using it I guess it's a little different for everyone.
WOW Rae, I can't believe my eyes. The pressure pot worked fantastic 👍🏼 💜
Cool machine. Add the ink after it comes out of machine. Doesn’t foam then. Cool jar and tray. ❤ those colors. 🥰

Those came out awesome ❤ Sooo clear too! stay blessed love 🥰
Nice! Can I ask how you measured or what you measured with? As far as how much resin you needed in each. Thanks.
If the listing for a mold doest say you can measure using water first.

I feel like you mix in way too big of batches for this but for your clear pieces maybe... no pipettes for me lol

Hey, Was wondering if only 2:1 ratio works in it? Or can 1:1 ratio?
Any non fast setting epoxy will work as well as silicone for those that make molds.
Im new to your channel as I just found you. But Im new to this machine so was wondering what ratio works in?
wicked awesome review I will save for this and add it to my never ending list lol I can't be alone on lists am I????
Awesome.....

If you are pouring molds this machine is completely ineffective. Don’t waste your money.
