| Best material for dice? [message #31893] Sun, 31 July 2011 16:49 UTC |

So I've ordered a few dice here on here. I've tried it in white strong, white detail but the problem is there's no finish on the dice so over time they pick up dirt and get stained. So I tried spray painting them with a gloss white but that just rubbed off and turned color too. so i guess my question is.
What is the best material to get dice made of? Is there clear coat or something i should be using?

Normal dice start as solid plastic (some injected, some cut), so they are not dusty. They are polished like many other items including PWSF, abrasive material and vibration/tumbling.
If you want WSF to stop catching dust, soak it something like paint, varnish or glue, so all the pores all closed, and the surface gets a smoother touch too. A bottle of model or artist acrylic varnish is pretty cheap and you can brush as much as needed until it builds up, just make sure there is no support material left (probably with detail materials).
