Using a pipette will allow you to accurately control the amount of material you’re adding to the base resin, and it will also limit the chance of adding too much material. If you were going to tint a large amount of PR57-Y (Yellow) with a little bit of PR57-K (Key, or Black), then we recommend adding the PR57-Y resin to the balance first, taring, and then slowly adding the small amount of PR57-K to this until you get the correct amount.Īlways be sure to slowly add the second or third resin slowly. We measure out the resin with most mass first. Place container on the balance and tare (zero) it.Ģ. Be sure to monitor the resin temperature if you are attempting to use this style of mixer.ġ. Flaktek or Thinky), may not be able to mix for adequate amounts of time before they excessively heat the materials. However the materials are mixed, their complete blending should be verified visually before the resin mixture is used in the Ember. Impeller, high shear, or magnetic stir bars are all acceptable methods of mixing the resin. It's not as thorough, but it will work.ĭepending on the type of equipment you have, you may be able to accomplish the mixing of the material by many different means.
You just add in the resins you want, and shake for 3-5 minutes after firmly closing the cap. A sealed container, that is clean, can work. A clean, sealable container will also work, but may not be as thorough.įirst, you don't absolutely need to have an automatic mixer.
Ember color full#
Assume a density of 1.1 grams/cc of material, and you’ll need at least 100 grams of resin for a full Ember tray.Īlternatively, you could use a beaker, syringe, or other method of measuring volume, but it probably will be hard to be as precise with very small amounts of material The more accurate, the better, but at least to the nearest gram with a capacity for as much resin as you want to make.
