It's called a dental lab vibrator. I think it's a good investment.

Food dye? Interesting. I wonder if that's the water/moisture thing again. I need to spring for some new resin. Wife will be thrilled!

Well.... yeah; if you want to be all techincal.... Like I said, I got one of them novelty pens that works pretty good; and you can find all sorts of stuff with similar mechanisms if you look. The lab doohickey would be awesome if you find/can afford one, 'cos they usually have a little tray and/or strap hookup that'd work great with a mold.

Yeah.... any kind of moisture causes the resin to foam. If you want to dye the plastic you have to use special stuff. It's thick; like poster paint that's gone off, and you only want to use small amounts. REAL small amounts.

I recommend using Smooth-On "So Strong" resin dye. It is great and it is really strong color. The paste kind takes longer to mix in and takes a lot compared to to the liquid. And you can use old resin if you have a pressure pot. I know leaving the resin open captures a lot of moisture. You have to pour and replace the cap quickly. Doing stuff like straining the chunks out also captures a lot of moisture. I live in Oregon so moisture is a great problem if you have open resin!Comment
