How to Use 10g Pigment per 2kg Resin Effectively

If you’re working with resin and want a strong, vivid finish, knowing the right pigment ratio is essential. One common recommendation is to use 10g of powder pigment per 2kg of resin. This guide will help you achieve consistent and vibrant results in your resin projects.

Understanding the 10g per 2kg Ratio

For most standard resin colour projects, 10g of powder pigment per 2kg of resin offers balanced, saturated colour without overpowering the mix. This general ratio is versatile for both small craft pours and larger castings. It’s suitable for pigments like the “Neon” Bright Powder Pigments, as well as metallic effect powders. If you want a slightly more intense shade, you can use up to 5–8g per kg, keeping in mind that too much pigment may affect resin clarity or curing.

Best Practices for Mixing Powder Pigments

To avoid clumping and get an even colour, always stir the powder pigment into component A (the resin) before adding the hardener (component B). Mix thoroughly until fully dispersed. If you wish to create layered effects or combine pigments, blend your chosen powders carefully to control depth and tone. Stirring well ensures a smooth, bubble-free result and vibrant, uniform colour throughout your resin work.

When Precision Matters

Following the 10g per 2kg guideline is especially important for resin art, jewellery making, and DIY decorative pieces where colour accuracy and consistency are needed. For transparent projects or those involving metallic effects, precise measurement helps avoid cloudiness and keeps the colour looking sharp and professional.
