PR casting help again....

[Steve68]

Trying some glitter blanks but the bloomin' stuff keeps sinking. Is there a way to prevent this or am I just not using enough?

Finer glitter and letting the resin thicken before pouring.

Stick the glitter to the tube first, before pouring the resin.

That method also worked for me when I made several earlier this year.

Going to try that method tomorrow.

Paint the tubes the same colour as the glitter, then roll the wet tubes in the glitter on the end of a dowl.

What John said.
Works a treat

Sorry to ask what might sound like a stupid question.....Once you have rolled the tube in the glitter and put that in the resin how do you stop the tube sinking to the bottom ?

I make & sell a large range of various casting moulds including these Less-Resin Moulds which are specifically designed exactly for this job, I also make these Tube In Mould Plugs that can be utilised in any of our 20mm single pen blank moulds for label casting as well.

Time to spend some money I think...........

All the products on our website are made by myself with the help of my wife & we do try & keep a small stock of almost all the items, so they can usually be sent out the same or next day, no waiting for days for made to order.

Like others we do a range of tube in moulds but we also stock the SoliMould which allows for a large variety of tubes to be cast in one solid mould also able to cast pen blanks too.
HPDE moulds have a lot longer life than silicone and we are thinking of stopping making our silicone moulds after some great reviews of the SoliMould.
That being said if cost is a driving force we so a range of silicone moulds too.
We also have fine glitters and mica powders on our website too.
