How the effect works
The Pigment Wave-pro is a special effect powder for creating white foam and lace at the 'wave' interface. When puffed over a base (darker sea, lighter coast), it creates a contrasting line and fine cell/lace structures typical of sea waves.
Basic procedure (step by step)
- Prepare the base in shades of the sea: dark blue/turquoise, transitioning to sand near the shore.
- Mix Wave-pro powder into a small amount of clear resin (start with a small amount) and mix until smooth.
- Apply a thin line of pigmented mixture to the edge of the 'wave'.
- Blow across the surface towards the shore (hair dryer/heat gun), using short strokes to open the lace.
- Gently refine the shape of the wave, adding additional thin layers for more depth if needed.
Dosage and compatibility
- Start with a small amount of powder (a pinch per small cup) and add gradually – the effect is pronounced.
- An art casting resin with a higher density and sufficient working time is ideal.
- For sharper lace, work when the mixture begins to slightly gel (no longer completely runny).
Tips for the best result
- Darker 'sea' and lighter 'sand' will accentuate the white foam.
- Blow with low/medium power from a short distance; shorter pulses will open the lace more evenly.
- Keep the work surface horizontal; unevenness will cause running and breakage of the lace.
- For multiple waves, layer thin lines behind each other and briefly blow each one.
Warning: Do not overheat the resin – it may yellow or scorch the surface. Too much powder can reduce clarity and prolong curing. Always test on a small sample first.
