Dink Master

Pouring two colors at same time

Recommended Posts

I had the same Idea come to me but I couldnt figure out what type of material to make the divider out of. Can you heat it with the aluminum in a micro? What did you use to seal if off with? I found out that JB weld sticks like no other to pyrex. I made an attempt at a finer pouring spout with JB weld and it doesnt come off the pyrex at all.

braveviper,

You may want to be careful with the lexan. It melts around 300 degrees.

Eric

and it warps pretty bad at around 200-250 degrees

We looked into building molds out of lexan, no go. there are other high temp products out there however, but they are very pricey.

Wannabe.

you know that fiberglass Idea is a pretty dang good one. it sticks to glass but it can be chipped off also.

your local hardware store might sell some thin square sheets of fiber glass, then just take some resin and bond it to the glass.

I got plenty here from restoring a boat ( plus there is a fiberglass retail store right across teh street)if I get some time in the near future I will give it a try. I need to get this boat done anyhow.

I only worked on this for 1 hour. Posted to get feedback and better

Ideas from everyone. (Lazy Susan / turntable - 3 colors 2 dividers)

I used 2 cups to melt colors, and divided cup to pour. I did

Reheat the divided cup in the microwave with the aluminum installed.

It worked, but is it OK???

Divider is held in place by 1 piece of tape. Want to get a more

permanent divider that is safe in microwave. JB Weld Wood divider?

Keep the ideas coming.

heating metal in the microwave is fine providing that its not a shiny surface.

The shiny surface is the thing that will make the microwave spark like a lightning storm.

its an old myth about metal in the microwave and its been busted ;) Myth busters did a piece on this 2 years ago. Anyone that uses a microwave for cooking plastic should try to watch it. it was very interesting.

BTW a microwave only cooks via H2o if there is no h2o in the product you are cooking it won't even get hot.
