Thankyou, now I know what I can use my leftover part A resin for 😊❤

[@jerseyjoes]

Good video and just a little tip. I would store the mix in a blacked out container, not a clear one. I had an epoxy once that came in half gallons of part A and B. I poured them into squeezable containers that were clear. So I could work with them easier. Usually part A is the epoxy and part B is the hardener. From sitting in the clear bottles over time, my part B the hardener turned yellow from being exposed to lights. Maybe even take the clear containers and put into a brown paper bag or something.

[@SuzieQ-z6h]

Michelle i see the paste is mixed by using part A of Resin and Mica, so my question is will it affect the ratio of the clear Resin ( A/B ) that i will be using hope that makes sense lol

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Not at all, that’s what the bought ones are as well, a tiny amount won’t throw off your ratios. That’s why I made a little something with it to show it’s just fine,

[@loriof5894]

I was going to ask that some question obviously it worked out but what if you wanted to be using more of the pigment paste or once you put the color in …Does that change the composition… Actually, no matter what we use there’s a limit for colorant versus resin so I kind of answered my own question there, huh lol😂

[@josetteforde6817]

Viewing from the caribbean the paste came out lovely the stand to beautiful colour green my favourite

[@lynbit]

I can only use uv resin begin of not having space for objects to sit around for curing time. So this pigment paste technique reminds me of how I get my powder to mix easier in my uv resin. Whatever amount of resin I’m going to use, I only put a small amount in with mica powder first. Then after it’s blended smooth I add the rest of the resin for mixing. Just using a cooking trick for not having lumps in gravy from flour or gravy mixes. Thanks for showing this, I’ve always wondered what the heck pigment paste was. Oh! And I love the idea for the paint containers to storage containers. One of those “ why didn’t I think of that?” moments.

[@PaulaDoub]

That is awesome, thank you so much!

[@toughtimes6596]

I see I am not the only one who sometimes buys things just to get the containers 💞 thanks for showing us, every penny adds up! 💰

[@janeanwesthues6389]

Went to the 5 quarter store and couldn’t find the jars, I DID, however find small jars full of glitter. Thought of you, lol. I bought all the different colors, emptied into separate bags and washed them out. So now I have 6 jars to make pigment paste. As soon as I can move. I’m removing the carpet from the house and have been working on the stairs. Somehow I pulled my back. Which means, I’m watching all your old videos today, lol.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Hahaha glad to be able to fill your time 😁 the jars I bought had paint in them. I just removed the paint.

[@SuperCarameldiva]

Love this not only for the savings but also for being able to get closer to the same color when making duplicates of an item. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@PatriciaFrye-ze6xf]

I so enjoy your videos because you really teach instead of just making an item. Especially love the hacks you let us in on.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Thank you so much!☺️

[@LostSiren13]

Great tutorial. Great way to use up those small sample mica bags. 🥰

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Great idea! Or that one jar of resin that didn’t finish at the same time as the other 🤦‍♀️😁

[@justtere]

So glad you are wearing gloves. So few resin KZbin creators do.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I have to, I developed an allergic reaction to UV resins! Not fun!

[@mookzmom]

Right up my alley. I have long planned on doing this. Pastes are so expensive. ❤

[@kelleypatterson2653]

now i can make my pigment past yay i am new on this

[@cletts2007]

Thank you very very much for giving the quantities of everything. This is the 3 or 4th video on this subject I've watched and you're the first to do that. Most say just mix it by sight (which i get, to a point) but i like to know the correct way to do things first. Also most of their seemed so thin. Nothing like the paste you made which is very similar to the density of the pigment paste I've bought in the past. So again, thank you for sharing this video. I REALLY appreciate it.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Glad it was helpful!

❤ that color is so beautiful.... My husband and I just got started on this craft... Just learning. We love both you and your husband's videos 💗. Haven't tried epoxy yet... But we are mingling with UV resin

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

You can do it! 😊

[@jennsnyder408]

I have a question... Can you use part b instead of part a? I've noticed that you can buy part b by itself... But not a🤔

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Yes you can use part b you may need to adjust the amounts of resin or powder to get the right consistency.

[@jennsnyder408]

Awesome 👍 thanks! I wasn't sure because of it being the hardener. 😊

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

It’s only a hardener if you combine a and b together

[@fuzznickers]

Well I'm glad I saw this video because I had read online that it was part B and was going to make some this weekend using B. I'm wondering if it really matters so now my curiosity is going to get the best of me 😂 You have proof right here that A works! Thank you!

I would love to know what is the difference between just adding some mica powered and using a paste to color your resin ? thank you for your tutorial, I appreciate it a lot! Take care !

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

It’s takes A LOT LESS paste to color resin than powder. It will stretch your micas out longer. 😊

[@ritaprovencher6048]

Thanks so much for this video! I was looking at all of the links you add to your videos and I am lost when it comes to the different resins. What does table top do? Or polyurethane? When to use which kind?? I just normally use one kind and uv resin as well. I'd be so thankful if you could sum that up for me since you are so knowledgeable!? Yes, you can tell Mr Glitz I said that😂😂❤

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Here’s the perfect video to answer that question kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIqUhoewhth9mrcsi=w1qN_20EPiyWfWEn

[@heavenssoapofisrael8323]

Which ratio for a and B after paste made is to be put in plate holder with that tiny amount of paste? TY! It's beautiful. I mean my pasote counts as a portion of the A resin(the blue paste)

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Use it as you would use any paste your purchase, it doesn't change the ratio of anything. When they manufacture paste they use either A or B as well and we have no idea. It doesn't affect the finished product.

[@babujaan18]

Greetings frim Mumbai, India. Just came across tour video and thank you for sharing it. My question is, can i not use the “B” part instead of the “A” part? Reason being is i find i have a lit of the hardner left over so if i can use that up in making pigment pastes it would be great. Thank you for your reply.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Sure can! Shouldn’t change the results at all😊

[@vonnie4781]

I have resin paste in my Amazon cart as we speak! Now, my question may be showing my lack of experience! Oh well, I’m not very experienced! Anyway, I take it that regular paste is made with Part A. Otherwise, why doesn’t this throw off your ratios when you mix your resin? Did I word that right? I have no idea if that’s a dumb question, so all of you stop laughing! 😅 Thank you, Michelle.

[@SuzieQ-z6h]

not a dumb question at all, lol i need to know this also,

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Not a dumb question at all. You can probably use part b instead to make it as well, I don’t see why not. You aren’t throwing off your ratio with such a tiny amount on your stick. Also a lot of that on your stick is also the color.

I’m not sure about the liquid pigments but yes either A or B will work one is more liquid than the other so adjust the mica till it’s a paste 😊
