thanks for the writeup and good info, it's been very helpful. I have a couple questions/comments.
Looking at your rock I see something that I don't see in others, the existing contrasts and shades in color. It's great and looks almost like it has been in a tank for a short while already. Do you know why? Is it a mixture of dyed mix or possibly the pastas? I thought maybe it was shadows or camera tricks but it's apparent in at least one closeup.
About the dye, did it get lighter or darker after it cured? how much?
How much of the mold material ends up sticking to the outside of the rock? hopefully none if done right, correct?
thanks again and good work.
