Another solution for soft dice, I have a UV solarium for 3D printing, and it works just as well (specifically with TeeExpert resin, I haven't had to test it with Art N' Glow yet, but it couldn't hurt to try it)
You've almost gotten another 300 since you posted this ;) Welcome back - beautiful dice and an equally good tutorial. I personally find wiping the dice on the paper towel immediately after inking works well but that's me. Saves cleaning my thumb tho ;) Another thing I've found with petri style dice is pouring the resin around the edges of the opening (off a stick) will push the ink to the centre and lift it which sorta kickstarts the petri but I'm not sure how that'd work with shard style dice like you have. I also work with fairly thin resin so your results may vary quite a lot to mine. That doesn't detract from how informative, well presented and paced this is.
Welcome back, I love your videos and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge! I'm going to give your inks a try after seeing your results. I've been using PBB as a sinker, but it doesn't mix with/pull down the Piccassio inks I use at all. The Blanco punches right through them and stays white all the way to the bottom of the dice.
Oh? I've never had that problem with petri's not curing? Though that might be because I use a slow cure resin, and they usually get 2 days in mold, 3 days out mold cure time before I continue with them 😂😂
Hahaha nice to finally meet you! I pretty much had followed every DIY dice video when I got into dice making a little over a year ago and have used your techniques in your other videos. Thank you so much for sharing, and glad to see new stuff coming out! Also, thank you so much for the tip about the food dehydrator! .... Now I need to get a food dehydrator! 😅
I don't normally enjoy petri-style dice, but these are beautiful. Hello, new sub here, will get my place soon and I can't wait to start making some dice XD
Hi DKD. These really were some of the best examples of petri dice that i've seen. gorgeous color combo. Odd question for you. i've seen a bunch of vids on sanding and polishing dice. I'm fine with that. But what you don't often see are vids on how you tackle rough dice corners edges. I think you are the only person i've seen who actually has even mentioned this. Could you possibly share your process? i'm sure others would probably find that useful too. (kind of assuming that you still go through the zonas?). FYI, new subsciber here. please make more.
These dice look great, and I love how you alternate between 2 camera angles to give us a great view of how you are adding inks and resin. Are you considering uploading some of your tiktok videos here as TH-cam shorts? I'm curious to see what you are doing over there, but I've heard that TikTok is an incredible timesink and knowing myself it is best if I don't let myself get sucked in
I think the different angles are helpful and make the video look a bit kore professional. I hadn't considered uploading TikTok vids as shorts, but I suppose that would probably be a good idea.
Nice dice! As you said they look like dragon fruit jajaja I almost felt the taste when I saw them finished I would like to know where you get that sanding machine?
Hi great video, any recommendations on where tonget that small mini pottery spinning thing ? And also the mold you use to cast the dyes, did you buy them or make it yourself? Thanks!!
I've never heard the dehydrator trick. I've been having trouble with soft cures that I think might be due to high humidity. I wonder if a dehydrator would help. Nice tip!
Another thing is heat - I will sit mine on baking (aka "parchment") paper on some warm wheat packs. Just make sure there's no moisture in them. Though in theory a sachet of silica gel may work. Either way unless you've drowned it in ink it will cure eventually.
I'm curious if you could speak to the advantage of using alcohol ink vs translucent ink? Is it the fact that the alcohol ink "mixes itself"? I'm also curious. If you use just a little tiny bit of mica powder can you achieve the iridescent look while keeping some transparency?
Hi! Question: when you mentioned never using the dehydrator for food again, did you mean the whole thing, or just a tray? We already own a dehydrator, so if I'd just need to by a separate tray, that's easy! Thanks :)
I'm not the one you asked, but I believe it's because there's fumes that come out of the dice when they're heated in a dehydrator, specially if they're still soft. Plastic can't expel the fumes/chemicals, so it'd probably leech into your food if you used it for food after using it for crafts. Kind of like how there's soap channels that say to never mix your soap making tools with your actual food tools, since they use sometimes harsh chemicals (Like lye water and what's in the scents).
These turned out so beautiful! I’m so curious how you don’t get concave faces, especially since you press pretty hard on your molds when capping. If I put any pressure at all on mine, I get concave faces. Is your silicon fairly high hardness? Lovely dice, the black glitter is so cool. 😊
Thank you for all these advices! I recently failed with my first petri dice because ink stayed at the surface of dice face, so maybe it is because of my white sinker, which is a cheap one from amazon... Can you tell me where did you find your machine for polishing your dice? it looks like a poter wheel or something like that but maybe it 's actually a polishing machine? I'm looking for a "not very expensive" alternative to polish my dice without taking too much time and effort ;-)
It is actually a mini pottery wheel I bought on Amazon. I just stick the zona papers on with water. They fly off if they get too dry, but it's fine, lol. I just go get it and keep going. Saves the heck out of my wrist.
It's not that big of a privilege, this specific pot costs like 90 bucks brand New, and about half second hand 😂 Also I use a slow cure resin that I usually just put on my dryer or washing machine while I wait for it to get to my desired consistency, usually gets all the bubbles out even when I used an Electric mixer 😂
I have both finally. And yesssss, I take a sick joy in rudely mixing my resin! With that said, vibration will get you a loooong way. I used vibration to make definitely presentable dice without a pot. Just remember that all of your practice now will help you in the long run. ❤
Another solution for soft dice, I have a UV solarium for 3D printing, and it works just as well (specifically with TeeExpert resin, I haven't had to test it with Art N' Glow yet, but it couldn't hurt to try it)
nice i love the use of glitter to resemble seeds!
So glad you're back, love your videos and how doable your methods are at home.
Glad to be back

love these dice! Can I ask did you make your mold or do you buy them from somewhere? Wish you had more videos I already watched all there is!

hello! I am starting to make resin dice and I would like to know what machine you use to polish your dice. Thank you!
What do you use to finish your dice?
@@Xanthira222 In terms of inking? Just paint.
Hi. Great video. I would love a beginner dice making tutorial. Like what you need to get started as a complete beginner. Keep it up!
How yall mixing resin like you were beating dough at the bakery station makes me criiiiinge. The priviledge of having a pressure or vacoom pot
