My first casting attempts

[bmlewis]

Decided to try casting a few blanks. Really wanted a blank in Ohio State scarlet and grey and never had luck finding one, so it was my first attempt.

Love the yellow one. It has a nice swirl to it. Are you vertical or horizontal casting and are you using a pressure pot? Keep up the good work.

Man, I really like the yellow & black!

Ohio St., eh (not disparaging your blank, mind you). Burnt orange & white, now there's a great combo!

Good work on the blanks! I'll be trying some of this myself soon. I can tell. The fever has hit -- I have been researching.

Haven't tried a pressure pot yet. Just some simple vertical casting in some 3/4" PVC

In agreement with them.
You could easily get lost in the yellow one !!!

Whatever you did with that yellow one was the right stuff, it is great. Love the swirl and mix.

I really thought the black/yellow one wasn't going to turn out. Resin had gotten thick a little quicker than I was expecting and really thought I would have a lot of air bubbles in it after pouring it.

I think you nailed the yellow & black.

It's funny on how they come out when you think they are going to be a 'flop':biggrin:


Congrats on the pours! And the colors look really good too.
