So I poured resin for well moderately the first time this morning I used a home depot paint mix cup as the mold since I wanted to keep it small the first pour I did turned out to be a success with the color and clarity.  Did a 1 to 1 mix on the pour.  1 drop of purple liquid dye in the resin got it mixed.  Poured and into the pressure pot at about 50 PSI left it in there for about 4 hours or so and it was fully cured.  I was actually kind of shocked.

 

 

I replicated the second pour as best as I but I changed up the color with the dye and mixed a bit of royal blue with the purple.  I left it in again at 50 psi for about 4 hours and it was rock solid.  So Id say even with a few bubles at the top the second pour was a complete success.  The air bubbles will get turned away as well and they are at the very top of the mold so not a huge issue.  Seems to other wise be crystal clear all the way through the mold minus some dust bits that got in the resin but I kinda like the look it adds to it.

 

 

But even with the small amount of left over bubbles in this pour I'm over all happy with this.  I haven't taken it out of the mold as of yet but I will get a couple shots of it out of the mold.  I was pretty well in a good mood when this actually came out and worked properly so I think the Super Clear Resin for me is a WINNER.

 

 

Awesome! Can’t wait to see more!!

The overall finished product of the cast I am quite happy with it is fully cured and ready to turn.

 

I am watching this process.  Looks good.

Pretty neat Andrew.  Is the resin fully cured all the way through in four hours?

Looks great, Andrew. I'm surprised that those surface bubbles weren't eliminated, though. Four hr.s @50 PSI shoulda done it.

Yea I'm not sure why they didn't either either way it wasn't a huge deal because they mostly got turned off other wise I had pretty good luck with it.  At least with that Now I just need to buy myself a pen mold blank LOL.  I can honestly say I'm a HUGE fan of SuperClear Resin I think that will be my go to resin from now on.

That's too cool for school!  I still following with great interest.
