Thank you!
Once lume mix and consistency (thick dough like) are reached, UV resin allows you to take your time with the oiler.
Two advises:
Do it at night, avoiding daylight so the dough keeps consistency;
Second; oiler always perpendicular to the surface and pulling from the center to the sides.
From my experience this kind of dial is the worst to lume for two reasons: resin is corrosive and if on a mirror polished surface it is merciless.
If dial is polished surface has homogeneous surface all along so it requires extra care not to let lume drool over the gilt boxes.
In a picture it may look ok, but once touched by resin the gilt shine changes…
Best,
