Hi

Is that 55 with 5 gallon of polyester resin?

Yes that is right If I made all of them in tubes instead of blocks I could get a lot more.

I thought you all would want to see so I went and took a photo minus the last one in the tube still setting. Some I have given a quick clean up to see the patterns. The camouflage ones in the last photo I am not sure about just have to wait and see when I turn one.

They look good.

My initial 1kg tub came this morning and the mica powder. I just need to get some tube and I am good to go. If they come out as good as these I will incest in the 5kg. Thanks for sharing
