FAQ
What do I use the dice for? The dice you see on my website are mainly used for role-playing games or board games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or Magic the Gathering. But you can also use the dice for many other games! D6 dice, or Yahtzee dice, are common six-sided dice used for many games!
Can you make custom dice sets? Yes, I can! I have an ad for custom sets. If you're unsure, you can always contact me via my contact form or send me a message on Instagram - @Dicecoven ✨
What is the process when you make the dice? I have several videos on both Tiktok (not an active account anymore) and Instagram that show what goes on behind the scenes when I make the dice, but a simplified explanation is as follows:
- Remember ALL safety equipment: mask, gloves, ventilation, etc.
- Mix and color resin and pour into silicone molds (you can make molds yourself or buy them on Etsy, Outland, Amazon, etc.), and place the molds in a pressure pot; there is a waiting time of 24-48 hours depending on the type of resin used.
- Afterwards, the resin dice are removed from the molds and must be post-cured for up to a week. Make sure the dice are cured and do not smell of resin (this is important because resin is toxic if this does not happen).
- Once the dice are cured, they can be sanded down where needed with sandpaper; try to make all sides even.
- Once that is done, you can move on to polishing paper (or finer sandpaper) to make the dice completely smooth and shiny. I use up to 5 polishing papers of different grits for this step and finish the polishing with a polishing wheel and polishing paste for jewelry making.
- To get the polishing paste out of the numbers after polishing, I use an ultrasonic cleaner; you can also use a soft toothbrush and running water.
- Once they are clean and shiny, you paint the numbers in the color you want; you can use almost any paint for this.
- TA-DA! Now the dice are finished!
Do you offer tracking? If you order in Norway, you always get tracking on your package! For other countries, trackable shipping is limited; this will be indicated when you place your order. If you think your package has gone missing, you are welcome to contact me. However, I may have limited ability to help, so I recommend contacting your local post office first.
What is included in a dice set? A standard set includes seven dice: d4, d6, d8, d10, d%, d12, and d20.
How should I care for my dice? I recommend rolling the dice on a soft surface and storing them away from sunlight. Avoid strong cleaning agents that can affect the paint in the numbers, and use a soft cloth when cleaning them.
Why are your dice so expensive? Handmade dice are made – believe it or not – by hand. This involves many processes behind the scenes, such as mixing resin, casting, curing, sanding, painting, and polishing. This takes time, and each step is performed carefully to ensure that each die is unique and of good quality. In addition, the materials used in dice production are expensive. I use high-quality resin to ensure consistent and good results.
Are your dice balanced? While I thoroughly check the dice during sanding and polishing to ensure all sides are even and balanced for normal play, the truth is that only casino-grade dice are truly balanced. This applies to both handmade and factory-made dice, so unless you are in a casino, handmade dice are perfectly adequately balanced for role-playing games.
Are the dice sharp-edged or rounded? The dice I make have sharp edges and are slightly larger than standard factory-made dice.
Do you ship internationally? I ship to many selected countries around the world. If your country is listed in the "country/region" list, I ship there! You can see the list at the bottom left or next to the language selection at the top right.
