			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>When mixing various colorants with a resin you can quickly get a very good idea of<br />what the final filament will look like by the following method. Weigh out the resin<br />and colorant in small quantities. Mix them on a piece of aluminum foil heated by<br />a hot plate with a wooden tooth pick. Let cool to R.T.,check the color, and adjust<br />colorant ratio if needed. You only need to use a few grams or so of the resin.<br />Your results will depend of course on how accurately you weigh your components.<br />This way you do not need to extrude and waste a lot of resin, time, and colorant in figuring<br />out what the resulting filiment will look like.</p>]]></description>
