Pigments powders

How to work with powder pigments

• Mix the pigment into the already mixed clear resin (A+B) and stir slowly to create as few bubbles as possible.
• For fine powders, start with a small amount and gradually add to the desired saturation.
• If lumps remain, let the mixture stand briefly and stir gently, or pour the coloured resin through a filter sieve.

Recommended dosage

• Clay powders: up to 15% of the weight of the coloured resin (opaque result, natural tones).
• Metallic powders: approximately 1–5% (metallic effect for paintings, coasters, tables).
• Metallic / pearlescent powders (mica): usually 1–5% (pearlescent/glittering reflections).

Tips for appearance and compatibility

• For even coverage, it is better to work in thinner layers and repeat the layers.
• Clay pigments do not dissolve in resin – they create a naturally matte, fully opaque appearance.
• Pearl/mica is best highlighted on a darker background and with sufficient dispersion of the particles.
• Pigments can be mixed together (especially clay shades); make a small sample before the project.

Where they excel

• Clay: jewellery, decorations, painting bases – full, earthy and natural tones.
• Metallic: accents and lines on paintings, coasters, details on tables.
• Pearlescent (mica): pearlescent sheen for jewellery, decorations, paintings and table tops.
