I agree, I am very visual so seeing a picture is easier for me to make a decision.

Man, seeing all those micro bubbles makes me wish those makers knew about pressure pots!

okay then ill wait until I get practice with those because I thought those where normal :joy::rofl:

They are if you don’t have a pressure pot, which isn’t a light investment for a resin minded turner (I think my setup was $300). fortunately we do have a vacuum chamber and a couple of pressure pots at the space which make those castings bubble free. Remind me Friday night and ill run you through the basics for the pressure pot and get you signed off. We don’t actually use it for the potion bottle class, but I should have time.

I’m a fan of resin bangles with fantastic stuff in them. My big ol man hands can never get into them when I see them. I guess I just need to make a mold for my big proportions.

I can’t say yes loud enough! I saw you in our resin potion bottle class getting a quick rundown of the pressure pot. I’m going to watch the calendar extremely closely so I don’t miss this class.

I have always wanted to learn how to make these! I’m super duper in! :smile:

These are all fabulous!

I would in for a bracelet class like the examples shared below, or a large pendant class with stuff embedded in it. The micro bubbles don’t bother me. Maybe BITTY has a low tech cheap way or info on how to reduce or get rid of them.
