Question Australians! What are we polishing with?

I've just gone to order some more zona papers and I can't seem to find any for sale in Australia, just ebay and etsy shipping from the US.

I really do like the feel of the Zona and have gotten better results compared to regular sandpaper, but I don't really want to be relying on resellers for materials. Have any other Aussies found something else that works just as well? Or am I going back to rough sand and dremel polish

these definitely have way too much brown because I forgot to trim the cane before putting these in, but the next batch will hopefully look better!

Hello , Liquid silicone is too expensive for me and I am playing with an idea to use liquid latex instead.
Has anyone tried it ? Thanks

Advice Help with custom d20

I’m not sure this is the right place for this or not but I’m not sure where else to look (suggestions welcome). My sister plays DnD and I want to get her a custom die made with a cicada shell inside but I don’t know how to go about doing this. Is this something someone in here might be able to do, or direct me somewhere that could?

California Air Tools pressure pot pressure gauge is broken

3 Upvotes

So I bought my CAT pressure pot over a year ago and only got around to using it last weekend. I tried to fill it up to 40 psi but it wouldn’t go past 25. The dice came out great still.

I then tinkered with it, filled it up again but it still wouldn’t go past 25psi and then the emergency pressure valve released which makes me think it hit dangerous levels of pressure that the gauge wasn’t detecting.

Has anyone else had this issue? What would you recommend I do? I want to make dice and this pot was expensive but now it’s past warranty. I’d appreciate any help.
