Hey all me again,
I think I know the answer already but to quote Wakko Warner "Here goes". I have been discovering quite a few things based off my last pour and if my theory is right I know what is wrong, My father had me cast a old spark plug from our old truck so that it could be displayed (We made amber casting with a vacuum tube inside where the Mosquito would be in the Jurassic Park, I call it ENIAC Park) but with it the only thing that was a problem was excess bubbles due to a mistake on stirring (Flat stir stick not smart) but it came out feeling like I expect Resin to feel once cured.
But the other two items I poured feel off I mean they certainly cured but it feels less like a hard plastic and more like a flexible plastic, it's hard to describe but I think I know why. So just to ask is it possible to make Resin overload if you mix too much of a powder pigment or the like that will result in it feeling off? I am almost certain that is the case as I know Epoxy is not Hydrophobic in the same ways Polyurethane is having seen a solid blank come out when it was a 50/50 Beer Resin mix though that may be a higher grade Resin as I've seen Ketchup in a bowl project to but I wouldn't think to use Art N Glow for that.
So dumb question, I expect it to be what I suspect and will adjust accordingly.
