I finished this Jr Statesman II with a special mix from the garage.

That is superb! The blank really is a great match to that kit.

That's a nice color. What are the fine lines going through it?

The fine lines are polyester ribbons I used to help seperate some of the colors.

Very cool colors. Love to have your formula for the colors.

great job with the mix. i'd be curious to know how long you waited, etc. to mix them up.

Please tell me more about the polyester ribbons and how you embedded them.They look good in there.

WOW! Now that is fantastic casting, blank and kit marriage is perfect![]

I mixed half (4.5 oz) in black with a small amount of blue tint and super sparkle. The other half was pearl white. I mixed both batches at the same time. I layed out the ribbon in my mold, just any way it seemed to fall. Poured the black mixture first and let both stand for about 20 minutes. Then I poured in the white pearl and started dipping my stirring stick into the mixture. Not really stirring, more just drawing the 2 mixes together.

Could you give more info. on the ribbons? Did you make them, and if so, the process. Or did you buy ribbon like used on presents?
They do look very nice.

nice work, isn't that ribbon casting tutorial neat, I had just a wee bit of seperation when I tried it, the blank still came out, but not as good as yours, very nice experiment..
