bradley4bengals Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 How do you know how long to nuke it? When do you add color, glitter etc. If anyone could explain this to me it would be greatly appreciated! Also can I do this inside or do I need to be outdoors for good ventilation? What all do I need to get started? THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 it takes me 2min to nuke 2oz of lc plastic. about 4mim with 4oz. all microwaves are differant just do a couple min at a time and check it. i put the color in while i nuke it and the glitter in after its done. i do mine in the basement and hardly have any smell. no need to do it outside that i can see. i have been pouring about 3 months and its pretty easy. you will get the hang of it in no time.

BassnG3 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Initially go with 2 minutes remove and stir then go in 30 sec increments until done. Just watch it close and stir, stir, stir until ready. I add color when cold and add glitter just before pouring. I use small amounts to minimize number of times that you have to reheat. It will take you a few times before you get it all figured out but try to keep notes (especially recipes) and measure everything you add for consistency.

outdooradvantage Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 It takes me a couple of min. to nuke 4oz of plastic. You might want to play with different power settings. Medium works for me. I add my color and glitter after I nuke it and it turns clear from the milky white color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
