I use nail polish ALL of the time in my geode/marble mobiles- I never use more than 4% volume, and it is hands down THE VERY BEST WAY to acquire a matte/non-shimmery deeply tinted hue to incorporate into my resin pour. I particularly enjoy the reactions between the different densities of resin. It is true that the more glittery or even heavily glittered pigments/powder concoctions will sink to the bottom of the pour so the aforementioned layering technique is the obvious solution-HOWEVER, what everybody fails to mention when offering that solution is that PLACEMENT in your desired location then becomes tricky and. Is often prone to cattywompus overlapping that detracts from the end result you were hoping for… in most cases you’re not looking to have a floating ring that intersect, overlaps, or obscures desirable aspects of the initial pouring. To prevent this, the depth of the second level needs to be PAPER THIN. Additionally, when you mix your resin, divide the mixed product into clear coat and whatever glitter mixes you intend on adding- you will need the clear mix to adjust the placement of your glitter mixes- keeping in mind how THIN you want it to be. If your glitter deposit should be a solid center piece, just surround the area you want it in with clear rung PRIOR to pouring your center, or pour less in the center than you think you need(you should be pouring less in this scenario to start with anyways- as u can always add more, but if you pour too much, there is no going back) and then surround it with a ring of clear. Any other rings of color should be added in sequence following this same system. The clear will be used to move the colored resin to its desired location- this is the only way, unless using boundary epoxy to designate a location for your mix. I do not re comment using epoxy on an over layer, however, because it defies the thin prerequisite& will make it look far too 3D, diminishing the focal points of the under layer& ability to see the piece as a whole& not separate floating layers. ❤

Interesting to hear your views on using oils. I use oils in all my works with great success, you just need to add a small amount of paint into your cup and add mixed clear resin little at a time, using a small flat spatula, until you achieve the correct ratio. Oils glow so beautifully in resin. Also I find alcohol ink tinted resin floats to the top and can leave harder lines. So for dreamy, ethereal, softly blended effects I use mica powders and oils, which disperse more evenly. You can also apply alcohol ink directly onto 12-24hr cured resin and soften the tone by dabbing with pure rubbing alcohol on a paper towel, or flick the pure alcohol onto the surface to create stunning watercolour like effects. It dries in a few seconds and can be poured over without rising to the surface. Also, it's so important to be aware that any titanium white based pigment WILL make your resin yellow over time. So I would recommend purchasing whites specifically for resin without titanium dioxide.

When I first started using resin, I was having such a problem with bubbles. And then I found out about a little hack of taking a spray bottle with some rubbing alcohol, and when you are done putting it over your piece, mist a squirt or two over it. What that does is breaks the surface tension, releases all the bubbles and I have fantastic results nowadays! So I’ve never had a problem with curing as far it ever “breaking down“ my resin

Castin Craft Color Pigment can be used in Epoxy and Polyurethane resins. Rit Dye (powder) can be used in Epoxy and Polyurethane resins. Mica Powders can be used in Epoxy and Polyurethane resins. Kitchen spices can be used with Epoxy and Polyurethane resins. you can use food coloring to color epoxy resin. However, you should ensure that the food coloring is oil-based, as water-based food coloring can cause the resin to become cloudy. It is also important to note that using too much food coloring can affect the curing process of the epoxy resin. Mixing paints and acrylics with epoxy is not recommended. Here's why... resin is a byproduct of oil. So acrylic-based, water-based and even some oddly blended oil-based pigments don't mix well.

That's good to hear - I guess I didn't mix mine long enough, because I ended up with a lot of those specks. :) The main issue with food coloring as a resin tint is that it's not light fast ... meaning it will fade quite quickly and the color of your project will drastically change. Best bet for longevity and saturation is to use a pigment based tint of your choice - whether that's a paste, a pigment powder, or a liquid colorant - and, as you correctly said, to mix it really well :)

Hi Kathy, most colourants designed for use with epoxy resin will work just fine. Since different brands and different colourants can all be different we always recommend testing new products first to ensure you get the results you want.

Hi, I am new to all things resin. After watching numerous KZbin channels I hear a lot of them say that alcohol inks are not recommended as they fade very quickly. I am very confused as you recommend them. What is the correct advice please
@Artresin8 күн бұрын
Hi Norma - thank you for the great question, and yes, all the information out there can make things confusing. The most important thing to note is alcohol inks are made with dye based colorants, which is are less lightfast than pigments. Like many art materials, they can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. However, the brand and quality can make a huge difference. ArtResin's inks (and other high quality brands like Piñata) use lightfast dyes. This not only results in a really deep saturated colour, but it really helps to reduce fading over time. I use ArtResin inks and Piñata, but bought I bought a popular, inexpensive brand from Amazon to compare and the difference in colour is significant! Not only do lesser quality dyes promote fading, but the inks can change colour over time too - purples turning to brown etc. It comes down to the lightfastness and quality of raw materials. It's important to note too that many white inks and metallic inks are made with pigment. That's why the white is used as a "sinker" because the pigment makes it heavier and able to drive the dye based colored ink down into the resin. But again, not all brands are. ArtResin's white is pigment based, as is Piñata's white and their metallics too. It's best to check with each brand to read the specs for their inks. Like with any art, it's best to keep alcohol ink out of direct sunlight to avoid UV damage. For alcohol ink on Yupo, you can apply a Kamar varnish first (this will seal the inks without causing them to bleed) and then a UV sealant spray, as well as the resin to help protect it. Hope that helps!

We find that using acrylic paint as a colourant gives a very saturated colour, it also tends to result in a less glossy finish. Its a good idea to test first as different acrylic paints can act differently. Remember to add less than 6% of any colourant to avoid affecting the cure.

Thank you. I tried dye-based ink refills (like for stamp pads). I found that if I mix it in with the resin/hardener already mixed and stirred well, it worked fine. However, if I just poured the mixed resin into my mold and then tried to do a polka-dot effect with the ink, it seemed to do okay until I removed from the mold. The ink went through the resin and left holes (so the ink poured out the holes when I removed the pieces and I got inky fingers). Lesson learned, only use dye based ink if you stir it well into the resin/hardener mix and then pour. Question: my hardener has turned yellow-ish; is it still okay to use? The resin still is clear.

Hi Dahia, the yellowing you are seeing is due to oxidization. We recommend using ArtResin within 12 months of the date of manufacture and within 6 months after opening for the optimal clarity. You can use the yellowed hardener in applications over dark backgrounds or when tinting a darker colour.

You can use acrylic paint as a colourant, as far as food colouring goes--we did not find it a good choice. Not only is the dye in the food colouring not very lightfast and will fade out easily, often food colourants are set in water and do not mix in well. It is definitely worth testing on your own on a small amount first to see what works for you.

Hi there - it's hard for me to say without seeing both products, but I would say they are two different things. Mica refers to ground mica, which is a mineral that gives a specific pearlescent effect. Ground mica can be added to pigment powder to create "mica powder" and can be added to different types of paint or ink. Metallic paint may have other elements in it to provide a metallic look - and it's not always pearlescent like mica is.
