Progress update

[H2O]

This is the blank I posted. It's cut and has tubes, so I tried to get photos in the sun, it's actually shining today.

It must be from using automotive colorants, but out in the sun, these appear very sparkly. The photos show it much more.

The photos also show the green, teal and blue colors much better.

Be very cautious turning those - metal flake is what gives automotive paint it's glitter, I think. You definitely want to look up the MSDS on that before you turn it, and make sure it's safe.

I plan to use a respirator, I would think that would be safe. Maybe not?
I can't look up anything, I don't know the name of the material for two reasons. One is I don't remember which stuff I used, and second is they are not labeled. They are in jars and baggies, but no information.

If body guys use respirators for the paint dust, shouldn't that be equally fine for turning dust? Or are there other issues you are referring to?

Well, I made the keychain and I'm still alive.
I asked the person I got the stuff from, and he said it's fine as long as I use a respirator.
