Can you add Food Colouring to Resin?
I ask this because I was trying to find a decent plastic to mould and as I was doing a resin coat I noticed after the resin left in the cup was hard, orange and see through - so I want to know if I could mould the resin around the eye in my faceplate and add a colour to make it blue
There are tints that you can add to resin to give it colors, both transparent and opaque. Keep in mind, regular old home improvement/auto store resin is not made to dry clear anyways, so adding tints to that type might not give you the best finish for what you want.
Take a look at
www.smooth-on.com; they offer both resins that dry crystal clear and also the tints to change resin colors, and they are great to do business with. You could try food coloring in a little leftover resin before it sets, but you're going to have to mix it like crazy, and it can't have gelled at all or the coloring will just swirl out.
Hey guys I have worked with Pepakura before but now im coming across this problem. I am Trying to download the files for a warmachine and I have found a few but when I click to download it takes me to this site (in picture) and I dont know what to do. Anyone who knows how to fix this or knows what I am doing wrong please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.

Well, outside of 4shared's tacky advertising, everything looks fine. 4shared (I believe still) requires you to sign up first to download from their site, so you'll have to do that. As much as I don't like 4shared anymore, it is free to sign up, and they don't spam or pop-up the heck out of your computer. Now that I said that, they will probably start. ANYWAYS....
Sign up for 4 shared if you haven't yet. On the screen you posted up, you would click on the
download box next to the
share with friends and
add to my account boxes. You will then be taken over to another screen to download. On this second screen, there is a box on the right that says something like
waiting time:20 seconds with a
Free Download box below it. Click on the
free download box. When the 20 second counter reaches 0, the download will begin automatically. When it's finished, your computer should ask you whether to open the file or save it. I just save all of my part files into one folder to keep them organized, such as 'War Machine' or 'Mark 1' or whatever.
Just a heads up too, 4shared doesn't really tell you download progress, so after you click free
download and the countdown finishes up, it can take 5 seconds or 5 minutes depending on connection speed and file size. .PDO filles usually download pretty fast though. Good luck!
