Strong, long-lasting, & with vibrant colours
- these Resin 8 Opaque Resin Pigments will add intense flat colours to your resin work. Bold & vibrant, this bundle contains White, Black, Blue, Red & Yellow pigments which can be mixed & combined to form every colour under the sun!
These colours are lightfast & have an excellent tolerance to fading in prolonged sunlight as well as having brilliant heat resistance. They are highly concentrated & must be pre-mixed with resin for use. The general rule of thumb is to use up to 10% by volume to your resin mix.
How To Use
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.
