Alternative to Resin for Dice Making | Jesmonite: My New Eco-Friendly Obsession

As a dice maker and a mold maker, I'm always on the lookout for ways to make our craft more sustainable. 

That's why I've been actively exploring eco-friendly options that work beautifully with my existing molds. 

I've found a winner:  Jesmonite. 

If you haven't heard of Jesmonite, consider this your official introduction. 

This material is a water-based, acrylic modified gypsum composite - which is a total game changer for anyone worried about harsh chemicals. 

It's water-based nature means I don't have to deal with harsh solvents or noxious fumes.
However, with any powdered material, proper ventilation and a dust mask are still required during mixing to avoid inhaling fine dust. 

Plus it's a composite material, so it's incredibly versatile, allowing for all sorts of creative possibilities. 

What truly sets Jesmonite apart for me is it's stunning, natural stone-like finish, you can also add colorants too. 

It gives dice a unique, organic feel that's perfect for those nature-inspired sets. 

I've been able to achieve some truly remarkable looks, and the dice have a satisfying weight that players appreciate. 

Honestly I'm thrilled with the results I've been getting with Jesmonite so far. 

I'd love to see what you create with Jesmonite!
