Pigments and Inclusions: Displaced Volume, Adjusted Resin Need and Pigment Grams
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You calculate how much volume the inclusions take up in each mould, reduce the resin to what is really needed, convert it to grams and weigh the pigment as a share of the resin mass.
