[@beckymason4298]

Thanks for sharing this. I just went on Amazon and bought a bag of titanium dioxide.

[@jennieleegems]

Oh thanks ! I just needed a little bit and didn’t want to buy too much!

[@Pashanny824]

Looks wonderful. Thanks Ronnie.

[@dorothygrierson2740]

This is wonderful thanks so much .I’ve just paid a lot of money for 30gms 🤯 of white resin pigment paste.

[@kellyjean4981]

Super excited to find this video. Looking forward to checking out your channel. Thanks

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Thank you for watching!

[@karenstrong8887]

Where was this video a year ago when I couldn’t get any that worked with waves in Australia? Thank you and I can even remember how you did it. ❤️

[@hoedoe5981]

a little disperser will make it easier and less messy

[@michelleweisbecker9371]

Great info! Do you have a video using this homemade paste for waves??

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Yes, #70 off the top of my head. I have more videos using it in my ocean art as well.

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

WOW, That's really cool, Thanks very much.

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Thanks!

[@mookzmom]

Yay! exactly what I've been planning to do, but haven't yet. I haven't seen many videos of people mixing their own pastes, so it's good to see it done well, and to hear your comments about it as you go. I'd be very interested in seeing you do paste with mica and/or chalk or other pigments, if you're up for it! Thank you!

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Thank you Pam!!🥰

Try adding 3% Isopropyl alcohol, 91%, which will extend your shelf life, although I don't know for how long. How do you know when pigment pastes, or resin, have gone bad? Were you able to find the resin without the hardener?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

I've never had pigment pastes long enough to go bad but I believe they can last up to a year. I use 2 part Epoxy so yes, the resin and hardener always come in two different bottles.

[@hoedoe5981]

@@RinirocksArtistry there is solvents in paste so it will last for a very long time

[@janicehelmore-pouringwithf3360]

WOW very cool thank you for showing this neat trick! Now how do we go with other paste colours? 😁💖💖💖👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Thank you! Same technique used when using other powdered Pigments 😀

[@irenerhynes6732]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. So enjoyed it. Can the white also be used as a sinker?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

You're welcome! I'm not sure, but I think I'm going to make a video now to test it out.

[@nicolephillips3718]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@Mitskidrone_Official]

Thank you so much for this❤️

[@joelwitherspoon930]

When you add resin paste to a project, do you have to add more hardener to compensate for the extra resin?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

No, not at all.

[@dorothygrierson2740]

Is it possible to do this for black resin pigment.❤

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Hi Dorothy! Yes, it can be done with any pigment powders. Just make sure they are pigment powders and not micas, although you can do this with micas as well, for a different effect.

[@mandyjaye8856]

How is this when swirling white on epoxy cups? Thanks

[@RinirocksArtistry]

I'm not sure, but I will be making my first tumbler ever (beach themed) and I will be trying it out. I'm pretty nervous and excited 😊

[@literallyawesome9911]

Tq for sharing. Mam, will this produce a nice wave cell?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Yes!

[@rebekahdaly9027]

Can you use acrylic paint and resin?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Yes, I use it all the time. Just make sure not to use too much paint in your resin, though.

[@christiemckinnon8485]

Thanks for sharing! Isn't it the hardener that yellows quicker? That might be a deterrent on using the part B

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Could be but not entirely sure.

[@bakersfantasy5445]

Hi How to make gray pigment paste

[@RinirocksArtistry]

You have to buy pigments. Not mica powder.

[@bakersfantasy5445]

I'm asking if I should add white titanium while making a light grey shade or white pigment?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

@bakersfantasy5445 yes!

[@nancylohnert1575]

What kind of titanium dioxide do you use I am in Canada and can'tfind it on amazon canada

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Hi! The link to it on Amazon Canada is listed in the description box under "products used". Thanks for watching!

[@diekcelina5398]

What is resin i know resin for hars etc but is it safe for skin &lips?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Hi! No, I wouldn't put it on your lips. I don't see an issue with cured resin being against your skin, such as a pendant, etc. When you're working with resin, I recommend you wear chemical resistant gloves and a respirator.

[@supernovadeluxe8812]

Enjoy your work. I made the pigment paste. My question is how much of the pigment paste do you put in your resin to get those beautiful waves?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Thank you! Usually just a pea size amount but it depends on how much resin you're mixing it into. I go by how opaque it is. You don't want it to be translucent unless of course you're wanting softer waves. You want it to be opaque. I still have quite a bit left from that video and I've made lots of ocean art since that video. One thing I did do is that I transfered it to a larger container and added just a bit more of the Resin (not hardener) to give it more of a creamier consistency and then it was perfect for me. You don't want it to be grainy. Also, the trick to getting good waves is once you've mixed your paste with resin, let it sit for a bit to thicken up. Also, don't overheat your resin. Hope this helps!

[@supernovadeluxe8812]

Thank you. I think I have been putting to much. I keep practicing until I get it right.

[@diekcelina5398]

Can i use something like glycerin i dont have resin and if i use pigment to make pigment liquid i ise glycerin or castor oil

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Hello! Glycerin will not mix with resin. I suspect castor oil would not be suitable as well. You can try silicone oil to create some interesting cells, but you would have to be mindful of the amount you're adding to your resin piece.

[@RinirocksArtistry]

But if you're using it for a different medium, then I don't see why not.

[@diekcelina5398]

@@RinirocksArtistry ow oke i try this with castor and glycerine i left it a week and check if its working

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

Is there a way to make your own pigment paste without the resin? Thanks for sharing this tutorial with us!

[@RinirocksArtistry]

I'm not entirely sure! Maybe with liquitex gloss varnish? 🤔

[@JaneofArc]

I think you can use dry pigment with acrylic pouring medium. I haven't tried it, but it should work because it's also an acrylic based medium. The pouring medium is acrylic based and alters the viscosity of paint for pouring. My thinking is that if you use that to mix the pigment with, it should work. Kind of like when you mix your cornstarch with a small amount of water to make a slurry before adding it to your food so it doesn't clump up. Like Rinirocks said above, an acrylic based gloss varnish might also work. Matte or whatever you have because it's acrylic based. Basically a clear acrylic based medium is what you're after. I haven't tried it though, but I have worked with pigments and acrylic mediums for years this way. I'm just not sure how it would look when mixed with resin, but I would be confident to try it.

[@liletteautrey8481]

Do you use any type of Resin or you can use any As long as it is resin only? Thank you for your help

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Correct!

[@angelAsheqa]

Thank you ,i having issue finding good pigment paste where i come from so this vids really help.. question,do i really need to add mica with already mixed titanium dioxide or just use mica for colour paste pigments?

[@RinirocksArtistry]

No, adding mica to the white pigment paste dulls the mica. I don't like it personally. You can just use mica.

[@annagravante3884]

Great money saving idea I have seen people do it with resin and mica I am wondering if you can get a colourant for the titanium dioxide and make coloured paste or could you had mica to the titanium dioxide very helpful video Rini thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Yes, I've made pastes with mica and have added Titanium Dioxide. What happens is the mica loses it's shimmer. I've also tried it with using Acrylic Paint too and I didn't like the outcome.

[@ShaiMarieMedia]

The video I watched before this the guy used powdered food coloring, he only used the titanium dioxide for his white pigment.

[@patriciaburt9365]

What if you use alcohol ink in it maybe you can make different colors what do you think. do you think it might work

[@RinirocksArtistry]

I haven't tried with alcohol ink but I may have to try now! I've tried it with Acrylic paint and didn't like the results.

[@sheilikas8910]

How do you clean the glass after you make the colour 😃

[@RinirocksArtistry]

I just clean with a baby wipe and then finish off with a wet paper towel with some dish soap, then rinse. It comes off easily!

[@sheilikas8910]

Thanx for that tip👍

[@mariangies]

Hi I made this paste. Now I want to use it but don’t know if I should use it like this (just part A) or if I should mix it with part B and how much to use of part B? If I weight it out the amount of paste to then weigh out part B, it won’t be an exact weight amount since parts A has the weight of the titanium dioxide in it. Please help! I’m afraid to use just part A because it won’t cure but, I don’t know how much part B to use. Can I use just part A because it’s going to have both parts A and B on it to cure? Thank you.

[@RinirocksArtistry]

Hi Maria. Just use it like you would use other pigment pastes. Mix your part A & B and then add a small amount of the white pigment paste to your mixed resin. The same way u would use Castin'craft lets say.

[@RinirocksArtistry]

It will cure, trust me! I also wasted to say that when I made this video I found that my white pigment paste was still grainy so I added a little more Part A to it. You want your pigment paste to be very smooth otherwise you will see little white specks when you use it in resin.

[@yellow2615]

It’s like making watercolor.

[@passerineblue]

Thank you so much.
