Had a sample of Mirage Sapphire sent with along with some pigments from Coastal Scents. This stuff is REALLY sparkly. Going to make an interesting blank.

Hey Bob, I've done a few blanks with that stuff too. Very pretty . . . . . . . and expensive.
You did what I did. Just a solid color. I didn't bother with seeing the gel time on this color. Experimenting with this color with other colors will be interesting.

Actually, the pic only shows the first half of the pour. I mixed in a combination of interference blue with some Micro Pearl added. Looks like its gonna make a cool blank.

Was the setup time about the same as usual? I've had problems with some blues in the past.

No it wasn't. The blue took in the neighborhood of 1/2 an hour before it even started to appear to be setting up. I was actually wondering if I forgot to add the catalyst!

That's my problem with several of the blue micas from coastal. They almost all seem to take longer to setup. I had 1 the other day that I literally poured the blue part out of the mold the next day. I did get another pour to gel, but I waited 2 days, then put it in the toaster oven for about 1.5 hours. Then after getting it out, I didn't like it. But that's about the worst case I've ever had.
