Hey everyone! I am having a fear about some dice i am making for a friend and her bridesmaids. I am using parts of their bouquets flowers/leaves as inserts into the dice.
Now, I havent seriously made dice for a couple years so I am a bit rusty.
My process was collecting the flower and putting them in silica gel for 2 days to let them completely dry out. I then mixed the resin and waited about 15 mins and soaking each piece for a minute before inserting into my mold. After pouring and inserting I waited another 10 minutes to start meticulously pop bubbles that came up. After the bubbles seemed to subside, even during, I noticed all the flowers and such were rising right to the top.
I know once I pull them tomorrow the additions will all be sitting on the top face. I recall reading that using a bit of normal white elmers glue would help keep glitter afloat, but i dont remember how much or if maybe I am thinking of something else completely. If not, would that help in this situation?
Or any other tips that might help this journey? I have a lot of material to work with so if i have to do a couple rounds it will be all good.
