Not bad for the first time.

Well done! I’ve resorted to using 2-3 rubber bands around the mold and the tops of the dividers. This presses the dividers against the bottom of the mold and greatly reduces leakage.

It makes pouring a wee bit more challenging, but it is better (for me anyway) than trying to press the dividers down with one hand, while pouring with the other.
 
Nicely done! It looks like you got the emulsion/trace just right. Did you use two lanes of white? The striations (for lack of a better term) in the red and blue look interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen that effect before.

You don’t need to call it an “attempt“ because it’s a very successful Taiwan Swirl.

What a great idea! Thank you!

:thumbs: Yes two lanes of white but the one between red and blue dissapeared.
When I took out the divider pieces alot of batch dripped on to red and blue and I waited them all to drip.
Probably that caused the texture on the surface of red and blue lane. They will wanish when I start to use them.

Could not wait one more day to cut.
