Resin dye
Hi! I hope this is the proper place to ask. I’ve been struggling to learn how to work with resin, as it’s not my main artform and can be very messy. There’s many different types of resins so for the time being I’m sticking with what’s been easiest for me. I use uv resin, and found the best and cheapest brand for me is kisrel.
The problem I run into is that I’ve bought resin dyes, specifically a liquid dye? When I use it, not only does it not really mix as opaque as I want, it doesn’t cure.
I tried mica powder, and it worked great ! However, searching online I can only find metallics and other shiny colors for the mica powder. I want solid basic colors, even though metallics are fun.
I would normally just buy a couple things here and there and return it if it doesn’t work out, but I’m disabled and reliant on others to give me rides. Because of that, it’s harder for me to experiment and return what doesn’t work out.
I was hoping to ask others with more experience than me if there is any specific brands of resin dye you’ve used that works with uv resin? If anyone knows why powder works better than the liquid resin, that’d also be helpful so I can know what to do in the future.

This Guy Needs A Name
Just pulled this test run of a new figure, Still to be named. This guy is made out of components from Halo, Pokémon, Mario, DBZ, Alien, predator, etc. I think I'm gonna call what I've been doing recently figure sampling because I'm taking little snippets and parts of other things and recontextualizing them into something new

Teepee candle holder.
Has anyone made the teepee candle holder with resin? If so, have you used a real tealight candle in it? Google AI says its dangerous to use a real candle with it if its made with resin. I'm kinda bummed because I wouldn't have wasted my resin if I'd known beforehand. Idk if AI is just being overly cautious so I'm looking for real peoples experience.

Is this appealing?
This was a coaster I was using to test out some metallic alcohol inks . I had some extra white from the blooms I was doing. I put a few drops of ink directly onto the mold then I poured in the white in a spiral , the resin was thick enough at that point to hold the spiral shape and that’s what created the backside. It reminds me of the starry skies painting . The frontside is just abstract alcohol inks . I really love this one . The fact that it could be reversible is cool . I want to make more and I’m already trying but I know the backsides didn’t turn out because I didn’t wait for the resin to thicken up . 🤣 the fronts will still look cool. I did it in a couple layers and it created a slight 3d effect . I really want to replicate this and make a set but it might just be a happy mistake that can’t be replicated .

Is it normal for resin to get hot!
I have been using the non uv type for a long time but this session ended up taking way longer than normal. The resin started heating up is that normal or did I mix it up wrong?

Update
I planed it down to redo the waves and this time kept it level and some other things that yall were telling me and it came out looking good. Originally I wanted it to be 3/4 on one and 1/4 on the other to be the wave design but I’m an amateur and this probably looks better. This is gonna be a cribbage board for my gf for our anniversary. I wanted to make her something pretty :3 I’m on a new account too so she doesn’t see what I’m making her lol. I’ll probably post the final thing on my regular account. Anyway thank you all for your advice and help!!

Is this toast?
I’ve been practicing with these deep pours and have been doing about 1 inch layers. This top layer was probably the thickest using Liquid Glass deep pour resin to minimize and control bubbles, and when I went to check on it noticed these ripples on the top of my previous layer. Unfortunately I feel like my most recent layerheated up the gel-like layer below that was cured less than I thought.
What do I do? Pour off the top layer since still liquidy? Leave it be and let it cure to see what happens? These are my grandma’s funeral flowers and really am hating myself for messing this up.
The waves/ripples look more obvious in person than here.

Pourable Resin Recommendation for Sealing Wooden Art Sign
Hi all! I recently created a piece of art painted on an approximately 1 ft by 1 ft piece of wood. I would like to pour on a resin to seal it and create a nice thick glossy finish. What resin would you all recommend? I am a total beginner so I have no idea what to even look for!
Thanks!
