I want to create a two layer cast with the bottom layer mixed with some pigment and the upper layer clear.
What's the proper way to cast a multi layer pour ? I don't want to risk separation of the layers while also eliminating air bubbles.
Do I do the first pour, put it in the pot, wait the recommended demold time then repeat the process for the second pour ? I thought I read that the resin (the second layer) wouldn't stick well to itself (in this case the first layer fully cured).
Or, do I do a first layer, put it in the pot, remove it before it reaches the demold time, but soon enough so the second pour won't mix with the first and then put the entire thing back in the pot for the complete demold time of the second layer ?
