Random stuff you have made

"Round bag thingy" appears to be a purse, complete with pocket for a smart phone.

C'mon, Man. You live with 4 of the female persuasion. I can't believe the word "purse" escaped you.

"The tint is a bit darker than I had anticipated"

Didja use blue coloring? Was it according to manufacturer's spec's?

There are no solid specifications for using Alumilite pigment dyes. Just “whatever looks good.” I used first one drop of ocean blue in four liters of epoxy (hey, the Canadians produced the stuff, and I didn’t want to risk trying to convert to imperial units). The mixture turned a bright teal color, then it cleared up. I added another drop, same result. A third drop, same result except it stayed somewhat bluish-green. Still was too clear for my taste, so I added a fourth drop. This time, the mix turned a distinct blue-green, but it was too bright for me, so I added *one* drop of black dye.

The mix turned black. As in, I couldn’t see even a quarter inch into the mix. But since I knew it would clear up once I spread it out from the deep bucket to a 2” deep pour of nine liters, I decided to try it. As I expected, the mix came out a pleasing grayish teal, and I could see through it fairly well. Perfect. I left the epoxy to cure for 12 days.

After 12 days... the epoxy was much darker than when I first poured it. I could only see about a half inch down the sides of the slabs of wood before the details faded into the darkness. If I look down at it with light above, the half inch has a greenish tint; if I shine a light from below, it’s definitely blue.

If I could go back and do it over, I’d use one drop less ocean blue, and half a drop of black per liter. So, six drops of the one and one drop of the other total, in the hopes it would darken to where I had wanted it. It’s an art, not a science
