With the recent discussion of splatter and color discs, I recorded my most recent experimentation with making multi-color discs with various patterns. For those of you who enjoy the more unusual discs I make, or just like to see how things are made, you may enjoy this video...

Interesting although the purist in me still likes basic black. It was nice to hear snippets of two of your copies of records l loaned you. Keep up the good work.donniej wrote:With the recent discussion of splatter and color discs, I recorded my most recent experimentation with making multi-color discs with various patterns.

I enjoyed the video and I think that being creative with the manufacturing process looks like a lot of fun. The records sound really great! I hope you continue with your experiments. I quite liked the first test combining the two cups before pouring, but why didn't show the results on the other side? Are there limits to the color combinations in resin?

With the disc being "only" ¼" thick, it's easy to think of it in terms of two dimensions, but it in practice it really is three dimensional. Each different color is free to flow under the other, blocking the second color from showing through to the other side.
There is no limit to the number of colors that can be mixed, the only limiting factor is the time it takes to prepare all the colors. This particular polyurethane is slower setting, with approximately 15 minutes working time.

Colorful records go with colorful music!
Too bad I don't have a Diamond Disc phonograph nor the space for one, but you're doing good work.
