Very good Lenny. What kind of mold are you using. I just got mine from the Pen Wizzard, Joe Swall. Poor guy already spent couple of hours on the phone trying to teach this engineer touchy feel stuff. He's great customer service.

I made mine with silicone caulking following the methods described by Richard L. Greenwald in his article on casting in the Library.

Looks great Lenny. Did you only use coastal scents? Or did you use color and then coastal scents? Curious I just recieved my orger of coastal scents today.

I did use coastal scent's mica pigments. With the leftover yellow resin I did a couple other pours and in those I drizzled some red which I had picked up from US Composites (red, green, blue and yellow) when I ordered my Silmar41.
