Sigil of Akatosh: Cold-Cast Metal.

As stated previously, I had intended to use a technique using metallic powder mixed into Smooth-Cast 325 resin. It was tricky, given the small size of the piece, and a few casting issues. After some tests, I was able to get a pull and figure out a process that made other successful pulls.

And here are the results!

Three copies are available at my Etsy Store!

Turned out fantastic! What process did you settle on?

  I had another Skyrim piece that I am also cold casting, so I made a mix that could easily do both, and brushed in two layers before filling it up with resin. Helped to eliminate air bubbles (though not all in this one), and is a little easier. The only drawback being it is time consuming.

    So resin / powder mix for 2 layers, then back-fill with more of the same, or without powder-mixed resin?

    I back filled with the 325 but without the powder, but with black dye.
