Strong, long-lasting, & vibrant
- Resin 8 White Opaque Resin Pigment will add intense flat colour to your resin work.
This is the famous & essential pigment for creating dramatic cells & lacing effects on resin artworks & seascapes. Bold & reliable, this Resin 8 lightfast pigment has excellent tolerance to fading & great heat resistance. A little goes a LONG way, it is highly concentrated & must be pre-mixed with resin for use. For optimum dispersion, give this pigment a stir before use. It is thick & creamy, which is what allows for beautiful bold & dense coverage.
Top Tips
Stir first: these colours can separate from their binder. This is completely normal
- it just needs a good mix up
Intermix: you can create any colour under the sun with our opaque pigments
- try mixing two colours in a small pot prior to adding to your resin mix
Use sparingly: the general rule of thumb is to use up to 10% by volume to your resin mix (1 part pigment to 10 parts resin mix). Any more than this & you will interfere with the resin ratio resulting in your work curing with a tacky or flexible finish.
Resin 8 likes to think about the amounts to use in terms of nuts & seeds... for 20mls resin you need a SESAME seed sized amount of pigment; for 40mls a PINE NUT, for 100mls a SUNFLOWER SEED; & for 250ml a CASHEW NUT sized amount of pigment.
Add to resin: these pigments do not work like traditional paints (and cant be used to paint with on paper or canvas)
- they must be pre-mixed with resin
Adding to JESMONITE®: These pigments are not designed for use with JESMONITE® & will appear much lighter in colour if added. As they can affect the cure of JESMONITE®, we recommend using our range of specially-designed JESMONITE® pigments instead.
