Changing to black SubG+

I've been printing only in red Makerjuice to this point. I decided it was time to try changing the color, as I have the Makerjuice variety pack. Since I'm still trying to solve the bottom side bleed-through, I decided black would be the next resin to try.

Black did not alleviate the bleed-through

The black is translucent when using my smartphone flashlight

Even the black is translucent to bright visible light on parts 1 or 2 mm thick, which means a layer 0.1 mm is not opaque enough to prevent the layer above from also curing resin below the layer. Keep in mind that this is occurring for visible light, not UV, which may be different. Still, a change in color did not help eliminate the bleed-through, so I'm hoping more pigment will.

On another note, you can see cracking of the surface layer of the dice, particularly in the illuminated dice picture. In my and others experience, this is related to the isopropyl alcohol soak time. A quick rinse is all that is needed.
