Resin Dice

There are many design ideas for resin dice. Due to the strong plasticity of resin materials, there can be many unexpected design schemes, such as liquid core resin dice, sharp edge dice, and solid resin dice. There are also cat-patterned dice, and when combined with skeletons, there are skull dice. Of course, there can also be designs in different colors. The ever-changing resin dice make more and more people like to use resin to customize their own dice.

What kind of resin is the resin dice made of?

Bear Dice's resin dice is made of resin and epoxy resin as the main materials.

What are the benefits of resin dice?

1.The resin material is relatively light, which is very convenient to carry and throw. It will not cause too much burden to the players when used in various tabletop game scenes.

2.It has good plasticity and can be made into various exquisite shapes and unique designs. For example, the core of the dice is flowing liquid or quicksand, or some fantasy-style patterns or dice with special shapes, which can be easily shaped by resin to meet the players’ pursuit of personalized dice.

3.The resin dice is rich in color and can present bright and lasting color effects, which enhances the visual appeal of the dice.

4.Its surface is relatively smooth, and it feels comfortable when throwing the dice, and it is not easy to scratch the desktop and other contact objects.

5.The price of resin dice is relatively affordable, generally between US$9-50. For the majority of dice enthusiasts, they can collect dice of different styles at a relatively low cost and enrich their own game prop library.

Precautions for placing dice into resin molds

1. Mold preparation

  • Clean and dry: Before placing the dice, make sure the resin mold is clean and completely dry. Even a little dust or moisture may affect the curing process of the resin.
  • Check integrity: Carefully check the mold for damage, such as cracks or broken corners.

    • 2. Dice placement

  • Center placement: Place the dice in the center of the mold as much as possible.
  • Fix the dice: Make sure the dice are stably placed in the mold and will not move during the process of pouring the resin. You can use some small tools, such as toothpicks or small clips (provided that these tools will not damage the dice and the mold) to gently fix the dice in place.

    • 3. Prevent bubbles

  • Operate slowly: After placing the dice in the mold, pour the resin slowly.
  • Tap the mold: After pouring the resin, you can gently tap the edge of the mold to let the small bubbles in the resin float to the surface, avoid bubbles remaining around the dice, and ensure that the dice are evenly wrapped by the resin.

    • Evaluation of the balance of resin dice - salt water test

    For the balance test of resin dice, you can also test it yourself at home with salt water.

    Step 1: Prepare a transparent container, inject an appropriate amount of clean water, and then slowly add 2-3 spoons of salt and stir evenly until a saturated salt water solution is formed. Generally, the larger the container, the more clean water is added, and the more salt needs to be added.

    Step 2: Gently put the resin dice into the salt water and observe its performance carefully. If the dice can remain relatively still in the salt water, without obvious tilt or bias to one side, it indicates that its density distribution is relatively uniform and the balance is good. On the contrary, if the dice has a significant floating difference, one side continues to face up or shows unstable shaking, then it is likely that there is a slight imbalance in its internal structure or material distribution.

    Step 3: Flip the dice by hand, and pay attention to the movement trajectory of the dice during the flipping process. The movement of a well-balanced resin dice should be relatively natural and random. It will roll in the direction of the water flow, with each side facing up and down alternately, without obvious bias.
