    here is my 1st attempt at dyeing them to make diaclone versions . i think i will try a darker blue next time. all i need to do is to clean up the back side on them and the edges the small bit of flashing on them

    its a 1 to 1 mix you use the same amount resin with the same amount hardener mix it together good. then pour it in to your mold and wait for it to get hard
