Wowwww so awesome. Amazing idea!
Needless to say, I'm pretty happy with the results.
I'll weigh one when I get home tonight. They are very light compared to a 60mm button from ABC/BR Pro.They look incredible, and I’m curious to find out how much does one roughly weigh?
So I’m the only one who thinks this is like murdering cats and dogs, and making a hat out of their bones?Well, I am working on making new buttons this week. Poured some resin last night, first a layer of white dyed with white sparkles, then back 4 hours later to add a clear layer with little bits of Paulson THC clay.

Next, we make some vinyl logos on the wife's new Cricut. They are so small, it takes a good deal of effort to "weed" them. Then we apply to the button.

Tonight, I'm going to "dome" the colored side with clear resin. After that cures, I'll apply a label to the white side, then dome it to finish the job.

Cool thing happened coincidentally: one of the chip fragments still had some hotstamp intact:

I'll be back in a few days with some final pics.
What, you don't like hats?So I’m the only one who thinks this is like murdering cats and dogs, and making a hat out of their bones?
I have tried a few different densities, and concluded that less was more. Just a matter of opinion. The resin has no trouble adhering with a much greater density of flakes.Excellent! have you tried some with a more dense coverage of the chip fragments, or do you need some breathing room so the acrylic adheres? Would love to see that.
Here's some other attempts at different combos of color, flakes, sparkles, swirl patterns, etc...some of them are horrible, some have potential.Excellent! have you tried some with a more dense coverage of the chip fragments, or do you need some breathing room so the acrylic adheres?

Not as light as I thought...pretty close.They look incredible, and I’m curious to find out how much does one roughly weigh?

Thank you for the kind words. This was a fun project for @Josh Kifer and me to make the tourney set. The cash set and resin buttons that @jja412 has made are phenomenal as well.I am losing my mind at the mirage button. What a perfect addition to, what is becoming, a Grail/dream set to me. Not to own obviously (unless whoever all has them EVER wants to sell) but for sure in my mind. These and the P&Ps are duking it out for best in my head right now.
I saw the button in another pic @Saoliver posted in another thread and was annoyed at myself that I had somehow missed it in other pictures of that set...now I see it's a relatively new thing. The PERFECT addition to that set. Good job, congrats. I hope you continue and make a little money off your work.
Trying to make the swirl patterns work with lettering...View attachment 759389View attachment 759390
