I tried a "Trashwood" blank this evening and I'm thinking it's not going to go well. Please tell me if I'm wrong. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a Blue and Green bottle of "Alumnite" Dye. I mixed 6oz of "Poly Resin" from US Composites and 4 drops of Blue Alumnite dye and then added 10 drops per oz of catalyst. 3 hrs later its still not set at all. I'm going to guess there is a difference between the Alumnite dyes and the Castin craft dyes. I think I just wasted 6oz of resin,60 drops of catalyst, some nice trashwood pieces, some pearl x powder, and a brand new 4x5x1" mold. It's still in the pressure pot. I'm going to check on it in the morning. Is this a lesson to be learned????????????????????? PR and Alumnite dyes "DO NOT" go together.
