I agree that it would add a lot of air into the mix. I use a skewer to stir in FO and colour and minimize the bubbles. I do use a tiny frother to mix my glycerine/oxide mix to make my colours though.

Nice! I particularly like the rainbow swirl and the Queen of Hearts.

Pouring that sort of volume when it's already hardening and getting your pieces where you want them I suspect would be challenging. My incllination would be to do a layered pour (liberally spraying each layer with rubbing alcohol before pouring the next). Instead of pouring one big tub and...
