Mixing Colors

[commercialbuilder]

I want to start casting and I like the idea of using tubes for verticle casting. My question is how do you mix the colors in the tube, I see how you do it on horizonal casting but I can't figure out how to do the tubes.
Thanks

According to Brooksie, , you can use a thin wire inserted into the tube to mix things around.

strip a piece of copper wire and bend it in curves at several places.

lol...shaking it might not work, but if you capped the top and then flipped it then the bottom colors will streak down into the top colors. If it's timed just right you can get some cool patterns.

Otherwise, put a bend in some wire and use that. Just remember that you introduce air by swirling like that so you can't let the PR become too thick or else you'll trap lots of air and start pulling blobs of resin out on the wire....trust me!
