Are these all three color pours?
What are you using for molds?

Thanks Scott. All of my pours so far have been two color. I think it's hard to do a three color pour without one of the colors looking out of place. As for molds, right now I am using pill bottles of all things, but I am making so many of these now, that I am planning on ordering silicone stopper molds from one of the members on here.

Would have put money on the three color pour....cause I'm seeing so many different colors happening(might be that I'm looking into the blank are the colors are 'shifting' wavelenghts).


Pill bottles....hmmm? How many casting do you get from one? Or is it a 'one-n-done' deal?





Thanks for the tips!!

If all goes well, they can be used multiple times I have a couple that have been through at least 5 pours. On the other hand, I have had a couple get stuck and ended up cracking the bottle getting them out. I give them a very light wiping of cooking spray beforehand and that usually does the trick. Also, waiting until they are fully cured (so slightly shrunken) means they come out easier. The ones I've cracked are the ones that I probalby should have been a little more patient with.

I really like the ones with the red in them. Fantastic job!

 

[Whaler]

Great job on all of them.

Great blanks, good form in turning, and great variety in the stoppers....well done!!
