Sahara Set: Large Volume Resin Colouring Guide

← Back to What quantity of powder pigments is needed to colour resin?

If you’re planning a large resin pour or embarking on a series of resin artworks, it’s important to ensure you have enough pigment to achieve consistent and vibrant results. The Sahara Set, with its range of metallic mica powders, is a popular choice for such projects.

How Much Resin Does the Sahara Set Colour?

Each 10g bottle in the Sahara Set can colour up to 3kg of resin. With ten bottles included, the set has the capacity to pigment approximately 30kg of transparent resin. This makes it highly suitable for artists, crafters, and professionals who need to colour resin in large batches—whether for artworks, home décor, or DIY furniture projects.

• One 10g bottle per 3kg resin is a reliable baseline for strong, metallic effects.
• The pigments are fully mixable, granting plenty of creative freedom for custom shades.

Best Practices for Achieving Consistent Colour

For optimal results, it’s recommended to start with 5–8 grams of pigment per kilogram of resin and adjust according to the intensity of colour you wish to achieve. If you want deep, saturated metallic swirls, stick to the higher end of this range. Always thoroughly blend the pigment into component A (resin) before adding the hardener to ensure an even distribution of colour without clumping. For specialised projects or clear artistic effects, you may wish to experiment with combining pigment shades from the Sahara Set.

When Large Volume Colouring Matters

Large pours or repeated use—such as casting table tops, countertops, trays, or multi-panel artworks—require careful planning of pigment quantities. Using a set like the Sahara ensures you don’t run out of matching colours mid-project, while the mixability of these powders allows for subtle graduations and blends across a full set of castings. It’s perfect for ensuring colour uniformity when working with batches of resin over time or across big surfaces.
