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.

I knew this one was going to be a small one but I was just working out how to get the over all shape of an egg if I even got it right on the attempt. This is only the first attempt at it. I was surprised NO air bubbles in the blue what so ever. How ever the green on the other hand had plenty of them but as I was saying it did get turned off in shaping so no harm done. I do really like the blue color with this. I think what Id like to do is get some liquid dyes I have some already picked out on amazon that I do plan on ordering. Its a bit difficult working with smaller turnings on this size. But I'm hoping I at least got the shape right. I didn't' fully finish this one as I'm just trying to get the shape right.
