Glad those batch is looking more hopeful. I always thought of acrylic as being harder and didn't realize you could get acrylic resins that would be so soft after curing. I guess most of those acrylic...

I'm going to PM the member that made their own Shokwood and see if they think alumilite would be hard enough by itself.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the update. I'm really interested in learning to replicate this process once it is perfected.

If this works...

An opaque fill sounds like a great idea! If that turns out well please give mine the same treatment! That could definitely be an improvement over the paint. If you had sent it to me blank, which I...

Absolutely nothing to apologise for. I certainly appreciate the offer to make extras if/when you got around to it. Considering how common Temperites are, I can't believe I found someone that also...
