Just applied the resin. At my 4th attempt it didn’t went bad.




Don’t know if I could pull this again, but after the mess I did with the previous runs, I had to clean the dial.

Tafari and myself made very good experience with the Resin from Cleopatre called Diamond. Less bubbles and easier to work with. If you look in Tafari‘s posts there is Also some kind of tutorial.

Let the resin to settle for 2h. It was easy to handle.
The end result it’s not the perfect. Some indexes got not much resin. Above all, nice learning process.

Could someone please let me know the hole size for the 616 minutes hands?

Thanks
