Hi, just a quick question. I'm making a few house number plaques at the moment. I've power carved the numbers out and filled with your 10/50 resin. I mixed 100ml of resin to 50ml of hardener and added ten drops of black dye.
My question is would this amount of dye in such a small amount of resin retard the curing time.
Cheers.

It might slow it down a little but not significantly.  Only thing to be aware of with smaller batch sizes like yours is you need to be more precise as at smaller batches, any errors are proportionally more significant.
