How to make your own pigment paste - super easy tutorial - see new video for higher volume

[@miniscenesgb]

Fun to make aren't they. I find the pestle and mortar make such a difference. Great demo :) Oh and squeeze bottles - what a great idea!

[@gourdhead22]

I mix my mica in amounts i need that way no storage unless making similar item I want same color. I wasted lots of mica making jars... Great idea

[@joelwitherspoon930]

Great video. I've been looking for a mortar and pestle like this for a while.

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

@@joelwitherspoon930 thank you. Happy if you found this helpful. 😊

[@meganmoyer2873]

Hello loved your video can you use a different brand of resin for your A/B mixture. So the paste has one resin and the A/B mixture is another brand so 2 different brands of part A resin.

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi Megan! Great question. Yes, you may use different brands. Just make sure you only use part A (the resin) in the paste. 😊

[@disneygal200016]

Thank you for the video. I’ve been wanting to do this. 😊

[@jennifereverett9762]

Love your video. Very informative. Thanks.

[@eliz1957]

Great info video thanks… can you mix this with a acrylic paint … ie meaning a swipe …

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi! If you aren’t using it in resin, I would not. It will never dry/cure and could ruin your piece.

[@eliz1957]

@@HandcraftedbyMichelle … ok 👍 thanks …

[@alanagusta7088]

As this would include part a, when adding it into a resin mix would you need to include this in the measurements so it still properly mixed overall? Or is it such a small amount of resin that it wouldnt impact the measurement?

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi! Excellent question. No, you would not need your account for this in your measurement. 😊

[@kathycapitini8071]

Love it, Loveit. It is awesome ❤❤❤

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Thanks so much 😊

[@lisacapers5853]

Thanks for letting me know how. Question do you use uv resin or make the resin? Pls tell ❤❤😊😊 Lisa

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi. Great question. No, I do not use UV resin. Just Part A of epoxy resin. 😊

[@lisacapers5853]

@HandcraftedbyMichelle ok

[@customMadebyACLD]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've seen several videos on this. One mentioned that you can use either part A or B. Is that true? Also, you mentioned that resin expires. What is the shelf life.

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hello! I’ve only ever made it with part A. If you used part B it would change the viscosity, so I personally recommend part A (the Resin part). I use a shelf life of 6 months, but some would argue it may be longer. I would recommend after six months using a test piece before using it on anything; just to verify it is still viable. Take care.

[@customMadebyACLD]

@@HandcraftedbyMichelle Hello from Niger (Africa). Yes when she used part B it was thicker. Almost like a paste. Thanks for the info in the shelf life. I seriously didn't know resin expired. I use UV resin because I hate to wait. So will have to check on that as well. Thanks again.

[@godfreyazuwuike5716]

I want know if this peaste can be used for paint manufacturing.

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi! It’s not paint. It’s pigment mixed with resin. The intent is to use it to pigment resin.

[@jodimarie379]

What do you do with the part b then?

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi! Nothing with this product. You would only use part B if you were mixing the resin to cast.

[@jodimarie379]

@@HandcraftedbyMichelle but I mean, what do with the leftover part b? Do you just have a bunch of part b jugs leftover?

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

@@jodimarie379 It doesn’t take much part A to make this and you could use a resin from a company that allows you to buy just part A or part B; like Epodex Resin.

[@jodimarie379]

Thanks!

[@JustNikkie_]

Great video… question how long do they typically last?

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi! A good rule of thumb is six months, but a quick google search will give you a range of 6 months to 3 years. I’d recommend six months.

[@sherrydecamp3082]

How do you use this on a cup? I can barely hear you.

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi Sherry. I am not sure what you mean by “use on a cup”. If you mean a tumbler, you would just mix it in with your resin to pigment the resin and then apply as you would normally. As for the audio - I just posted the same video with the highest volume my video editing tool would allow. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3Pdl4ZjhLKojKMsi=crTK0lv60HY98JCZ I hope you are able to hear that one.

[@kanadakanadakanada]

What resin do you use?

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi! I used Craft Resin. There is a link in the video description. 😊

[@kanadakanadakanada]

Ok, if it is epoxy resin do you use part A or B?

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

@@kanadakanadakanada yes, it’s epoxy resin and you use only part A (the resin, not the hardener).

[@kanadakanadakanada]

@@HandcraftedbyMichelle thank you!

[@Leslieohnstad_colourarte_mama]

Michele, how do we contact you

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

Hi Leslie. You may email me @ [e-mail]

[@mookzmom]

Excellent, but still having trouble hearing your voice❤

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

I’m very sorry you are having trouble with hearing me. I’m not sure of the issue. It sounds fine on my end. I’ll try increasing the recording volume in future. Thanks for the feedback.

[@gaftonsteel]

@@HandcraftedbyMichelle I had to turn the volume all the way to max to hear you that well. I notice you talk kind of soft and quiet so that doesn't help much either. are you using a lapel mic?

[@HandcraftedbyMichelle]

@@gaftonsteel hi! I am not but looks like I’ll be investing in one. 😊 Thanks for the additional feedback and sorry for the volume issue.

Hi Sweetie, Definitely Are Major issues with hearing you I don’t like to be the first person to complain but then when I seen I definitely Was not the only person with the hearing issue . Maybe get a mic and clip it onto your shirt below your mouth sweetie. They was another channels I have now been following for 5 years now and when she started out same problem could barely hear her and I kindly asked her if she could please for all her viewers and myself look into getting a mic and she did. And she will tell you that was the best investment she ever purchased…She is now heading to half million followers and I wish you the same .. Just hope when I come back maybeI canhearyou better too… Love this video👍🩷🩷
