    Years ago I did lots of work with resin. First, depending on the resin hardening reaction to whether it is endothermic or exothermic. In the case of an exothermic reaction, no possible way to keep the ice cube frozen. In the case of an endothermic reaction, it MIGHT stay frozen, but only if you keep the entire casting below 0 degrees Celsius.
    Putting it in the freezer while it cures could stop the resin from curing at all. Most resins have a set temperature. An exothermic resin would have to be given a LOT of catalyst if you put it in the freezer, and then it would give off so much heat the ice cube would melt. An endothermic resin... it depends on if it could set at that low of a temperature I guess. But, once the endothermic resin rises above 0C, it will melt.
    You also have to take in to account that ice is expanded, even if it is clear. So, if you got no bubbles in there, you'll probably end up with some vacuum space when it melts and/or some of the still dissolved gasses trapped in the "clear" ice that you just can see.

      As to your second "point;" this is just how I speak, and to my mind, it's a lot easier to read than your string of needless abbreviations of three letter words: the hallmark of a simple mind; so while I don't know for certain why you feel the need to shame people for their means of self-expression; I'd guess insecurity, most likely.

    candy dyes will dye mineral oil and regular food coloring for water.
    Would be cool to see heavier glitters in oil..the glitter moves slower in oil- probably freeze glitter oil cubes- there are ice trays which make spherical cubes.

    to make clear ice, you need to remove the air from the water before freezing it. For home, that would be boiling the water to remove all gas first, then freeze quickly as possible.
