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😂

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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. 😊

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.

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.

Michelle thank you so much for this tutorial. I don’t have any pigment paste due to the cost of them.
