Great looking mill. Even without the wood, I really like the color and figure of your resin, and the wood just makes it that much more interesting. Nice shape on the mill, too.
I have poured a few of these in PVC with Alumilite and never had a mold crack yet. 3 pours will have some sort of line showing each layer I would think. I can't see it in your cast though.
Very nice idea, I've wondered about trying to cast a blank for a pepper mill. given the mass of the PR how many drops of MEKP per OZ. With out the wood, I would think 1-1/2 or slightly less. I guess the wood would take up enough of the PR though that you probably need to use 3 drops per OZ ??
I used 4 per oz that way the next day it was still a little tricky so you get a good bond
And the less you use the slower it takes and then the heat is not has bad.
I am still learning about casting. Could you elaborate on what you mean by 3 stages? I assume you poured 1/3 at a time & then waited for each to cure to a certain point, but I don't see any seams between the pourings. ????
Yes you have to do it in three pours a little at a time because it builds up to much heatso take your time make sure you mix the same amount each time even the color or you will see the lines from the pours.
