    Re: Doming - Anyone tried it?

    So this is based upon a single epoxy or is it 2 and needs mixing? Also, I assume that the mini blow torch is for setting the epoxy so no UV required?

    Re: Doming - Anyone tried it?

    Justin,

    It is a 2 part acrylic & both parts are in the applicator so when you press it both parts mix as it comes out of just the one nozzle.

    The blow torch is usually used to get rid of the air bubbles that become trapped.

    I think you would still need the UV to set them.

    You could always do it like I do & use a small company that just do arylic doming. :D

    They have just done a large job for me & I have 100% mark up on it :D

    Re: Doming - Anyone tried it?

    I'm guessing the UV is the expensive bit? I was asking about Crystal printing which also uses the UV source, maybe I could use the box for both?

    Justin,

    I don't think you need a UV lamp as the acrylic air dries as it has a catalyst mix in with it.

    Have a look at this link as I found it quite useful http://www.make-a-gift.co.uk/packages.htm

    Re: Doming - Anyone tried it?

    The biggest problem with doming is if your not UV curing you need a room with a humidity level of around 40%, otherwise you will be plagued with problems with bubbles, also the resin has a short shelf life, yes its relatively easy to do but unless you have the right enviroment for the resin to cure it can be very wasteful and expensive.

    Re: Doming - Anyone tried it?

    Thanks Paul & Jase.

    I'm learning more & more about doming now. I'd love to have a go at some time myself but, just think it might be a step too far just now.

    Just found this start up kit which seems to be a very good price, would love to have a go. All looks a little time consuming for the double sided keyrings I do but worth the effort. I wonder how practical it would be just doming 1 or 2 keyrings though?

    Re: Doming - Anyone tried it?

    Not very practical because you would have to bin the rest of the resin cartridge if you only did 1 or 2 key rings so it would be expensive
