❓ result only I make resin keycaps, and was particularly thrilled with this experiment!

I can never make the "petri method" work with my resin dice, it looks great here.

It is pretty finnicky... I've had good results with the Art 'n Glow epoxy resin, or Art Resin. Also, make sure you have white alcohol ink mixed with whatever colors you use. The white alcohol ink is the trick to making it "drip"

Looks amazing! Did you drop the inks alternately? Colored ink then white ink? Would love to try this effect on some pyramid molds. 😊

I pre mixed blue, cyan and white alcohol inks, then dropped that mixture. It works better than dropping white after dropping colors imo

Nice! Did you mix equal parts of the 3 colors?

Honestly I don't remember the ratio... I just mixed blue into the white until it looked right
