I think at that point, as it often happens, the seed was planted in my brain &#8211; I need to try it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Brawler;\">Looking through options a bit, I saw that you can actually buy dice molds made from rubber for really cheap, so no need to cast my dice (and clean them after). Awesome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Brawler;\">I ordered a set from Wish (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wish.com\/search\/dice-mold-resin\">there are a LOT of sets there really<\/a>) and then also bought some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/s?k=art+resin&amp;language=en_GB&amp;adgrpid=80846164743&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwnv71BRCOARIsAIkxW9FXXH855eTEhejsdhB5ICKZPvTCx140KbcM0dKyY3kW4Z34ORsvZhAaAs7dEALw_wcB&amp;hvadid=394625453746&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9062728&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=b&amp;hvrand=17887138295394628360&amp;hvtargid=kwd-301045402031&amp;hydadcr=29751_1787266&amp;tag=googdemozdesk-21&amp;ref=pd_sl_91vubddcg8_b\">resin<\/a> and some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/Fluids-Alcohol-transparent-Alkoholtinte-Fluid\/dp\/B082B52DJJ\/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&amp;keywords=kunst+harz+farbe&amp;qid=1589660817&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFHNElHWkVYUkhQT1QmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAxODQ4MTgxRzNLTFkyWkxPVThXJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0NDE3ODIyNkVLR0JTVFM4UEkmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl\">colours<\/a> from Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Brawler;\">All in all not too expensive, I think I paid a total of 40 Euros (similar in 38 GBP or 43 USD) and &#8211; hey.. making your own dice is AWESOME, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Brawler;\">Once everything arrived it was go-time. In my case you mix the two components of the resin 2:1 (b ased on weight), stir it. I used two toothpicks to stir because for one d20 you don&#8217;t really need too much material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Brawler;\">Next I poured the resin in, added the little lid that comes with the dice to seal everything up and waited for what seemed like an eternity (patience is not my strength). I think it took about 5 hours until I could take the die out of the mold. And while not perfect.. what a thrill!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Brawler;\">My. own. D20.
