My first polester resin blank

[Chilprufe]

This is my first attempt at making a resin blank, I'm very happy with the result, Its made with water clear casting resin and pearl ex powder(reflex violet & sparkle gold) and the pen is a Lucinda Kit

Welcome to IAP! The blank and pen look great.

That's a cool combo! A little more mixing IMHO to even out the carmel in the slurpy. Great blank no matter how many you have under your belt!!

Ye ... could of done with some more mixing but i was a bit slow with adding the gold mix to the violet as it had gone off a bit too much for mixing

Hi, have a look at my system for multi colour pours

I like it ... I like it a lot .... do you wait for the resin to start gelling before you pour?

Definitely Not, I had a disaster last week after waiting a few minutes, thinking the colours might not blend as much if I gave a few minutes:frown: Poured about 9 blanks and then it went to jelly. I can usually get 20 blanks from 20oz of resin. By the time you have mixed in the MEKP and then filled the tubes it is ready to go.

Another tip I have discovered is to stand the pour system upside down when empty so that the residue drains out and is easy to pick off the top edge, stops the nozzles becoming blocked as well.

Good luck.
