Last year my best customer asked if I could do color bands on a stylus pen. It took me a few months to develop the process.

These color combinations are high school colors plus a few "Fun Colors" that Judy has ordered. She owns three clothing/uniform stores in the Fort Worth area.

Thanks for looking.

The question on eveybody's mind "Is he going to give away his secret?". Nice job...

I am thinking about a toot for the Library after I get a few bugs worked out. It will not be for the faint of heart! Requires building some special equipment, attention to details AND a 14 layer pour takes a little over 2 hours elapsed time (total time on the actual pour about 30 min). I hope to bring the time down by fixing the few bugs I have found.
 
As for someone who has attempted this, GREAT JOB!! Anyone who has done any casting can somewhat imagine what goes into layering like that.

So I am guessing you poured the layers on top of each other? Looking at it, they seem to be poured side by side....
 
I so admire what the people who pour do. Like certain blanks, they are one of a kind. Personally, I just don't have that kind of time/skill/money to invest. I do read the library and look at what is posted. Somethings just leave me knowing how much I should learn....right now, I just don't have the time to learn. Soon enough I will be retired and then I will have more time on my hands.
Please teach (put into the library) all of us. It would be a shame if the skill was lost to all.

Yes, the pour is from bottom up. It is a little more involved than just pouring PR. The blocks I make take about 2 hours to pour and remember PR shrinks as it sets-up.

Think about it :befuddled:
