I made my 5th batch last night! I put some pink mica in this time. It turned orange though :? Kinda disapointing! But oh well. OK I got a new silicone mold from wholesale supplies. It said it was a 40-44 oz mold.

That one. I made 33 oz batch + water and lye. I figured I would be safe with that. But it was way to much, so i pour then let the rest sit and then when it was managable I kinda blobbed it on top. Think "Lyn" tops. HAHA. So i didn't cover it because I didnt wanna mess the tops up. Went back about 10 min later to see a HUGE crack right down the middle, so I kinda smudged it around and covered up the whole put saran wrap over it and wrapped it up in a towel. This morning I went and looked and I dont SEE the crack...but I guess it could still be there when I go to cut..I dunno. But my main question is I know alot of you don't gel. I dont like the color it turned after it gelled. How do you NOT gel? Whats the difference? I loved the color when I poured...now not so much :roll: haha oh well! we live and we learn!
