How to make multiple layers of resin casting?
« on: Mon, 09 March 2020, 02:24:52 »
Hi guys! Recently I want to make myself some keycaps. But during my design process, I wonder how can I make keycaps with more than one shot? As I would like to colour my keycaps during the resin is uncured. How can I fill up different parts with different colours with double-shot technique or anything else? ;D
Thanks!

I have no idea of resin casting at all but I think this is made filling the surface of the mold with one color. Waiting it to harden. Filling another part and finally completely filling the mold. I'm quite sure you'll find lot of info on youtube

Thank you for your information! I searched through youtube but didn't find much about double shot molding. Do you have any reference videos?  :p
