Just dusted off my lathe, built a pressure pot, a few "cutting board" molds and am ready to start turning again after a 4 or 5 year break... Anyway. I purchased some Castin' Craft Clear Resin and a handful of assorted pigments and all set to go...or so I thought.....
I attempted to do a 50/50 blend of black and yellow and ended up with some funky sort of green that had a few black and yellow hi-lites in it...made 1 bottle stopper which my sister took pitty on me and bought cuz she thought it looked awesome.... regardless, I think I fell asleep in class regarding mixing techniques.
Sooo.... my question is this. For those of you who "successfully" mix two different colors for those nice looking swirls etc, at what point do you do it? Wait about 10 mins or so for the first color to start to gel before stirring in the second color?
thanks for your assistance.
