Just be prepared to spend a bit more money than you would expect! Also it SMELLS LIKE DEATH so I recommend doing it outside!

Good luck! Hopefully my findings help, but it is still a nutty experiment. Lots of trial and error! It's essentially a big smelly science experiment!

Fantastic result! I'm glad to see all your hard work and determination pay off. Bravo!

Oh, that's just part and parcel with this dumb hobby.

Question? You said the color burned out due to the heat… was that because of the extra hardener or just the nature of the product?

Holy Cow! These are absolutely amazing looking!!!

Are you selling these, or just making them for fun? Maybe I missed that information.

Perhaps if I used different dye / pigment it might have stayed, but I opted to paint the exterior instead since I think it looks more accurate and creates a really beautiful effect. And when i say this thing got hot I mean HOT. I wish I had a temperature gun while making this, because these things would burn my hands even with thick gloves on.

I might have 2 or 3 left over after giving to close friends, but honestly I recommend springing for RestauraJones or Azuma's Sankara stones.

Unless I move to a studio or find a solid replacement for the extremely expensive Matrix Clear we used to coat them - I don't think I will be taking these on again. It was incredibly toxic, expensive and unpredicatble. I threw away A LOT.

But thank you for asking!! Go with Restaurajones or DM Azuma on Indygear if you can afford it!
