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. 🥰

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

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?

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