These are gorgeous! One quick note is that it looks like you are using vinyl gloves. Unfortunate resin can actually seep through the molecules of that material, which would be no good! Nitrile gloves are the way to go 😊 good luck with everything!
Depending on the dice I try to pick a contrasting colour that's in the dice themselves.. or something I know will pop.. on these I might do sparkly white.. or maybe a pale sparkly grey or blue.. they will really show against the dice but still got with it (I hope haven't inked them yet lol).. I do try to step out of the usual suspects of golf white or silver.. but some dice just belong with those colours. I did do a pink set that I inked purple. I have some more inking to do shortly.. maybe I'll film it for you
There’s a few ways you can go about it! You can either purchase a pre-made pressure pot or make your own. (Just be careful and be sure to follow precise instructions when making one or it can turn into essentially an air powered bomb). Another way is pouring and then waiting about 10 minutes or so and use a lighter to pop the bubbles. Additionally you can try to pour slowly from higher up and this will help to minimize the bubbles. Although this can sometimes get messy if you’ve got a naturally shake to your hands like I do. I hope the advice helps some, good luck with crafting!
I use a pressure pot. It's the best way to get consistent results. You can thin your resin with warming it before hand or using a vacuum chamber. But the moment you add anything into it , pigments glitter etc, it will reintroduce bubbles. So the pressure pot is the way to go. I do burst bubbles after pouring into the mold with a long necked. Lighter ( so I don't damage my molds) and I put a little resin on the cap numbers to help prevent bubbles forming there to.
These were made with let's resin 1:1 epoxy, just normal not deep pour.. none of my dice except maybe the chonks need the deep pour, and no as I intend to open a store ( if I stop procrastinating) then I want consistent results.. so pressure pot is the best way to go to achieve that. Without it it's a hit or miss
Awesome idea, thanks :D!

Love these! What kind of black colorant did you use? Was it an alcohol ink or just a resin ink?
Pinata ink i believe was said in the video, which is an alcohol based ink :)
@@tash3864 Thanks! I wasn't sure if they only had alcohol or not...
Black pinata alcohol ink
@@Zetamomma no worries you can aske anything any time
I’m getting into dice making. Any tips on getting rid of bubbles? I’m having a hard time with removing them.

I am sorry if I missed it, what Resin do you use? Deep Pour? Do you ever do it without a pressure pot?
