If you’re planning to colour your resin jewellery, it’s natural to wonder whether adding a pigment might interfere with the curing process of your resin. This is especially important when using specialist colourants like Colourfun or Magic Crystal for vibrant or transparent results.
Are Colourfun and Magic Crystal Colourants Resin-Safe?
Both Colourfun and Magic Crystal liquid colourants are designed specifically for use with epoxy and UV resin systems. When used as directed, these colourants blend smoothly into your resin and remain fully compatible—meaning they do not interrupt or impede the chemical curing process. This makes them a reliable choice whether you’re creating solid, vivid jewellery or want beautiful transparency for crystal effects.
Tips for Effective Resin Colouring
- Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended dosage. Using too much pigment can risk incorrect curing or affect the finish.
- Mix your resin and hardener thoroughly first, then add a small amount of colourant and blend until even. You can always add more to deepen the hue.
- For intense opaque effects, Colourfun Set works brilliantly, while Magic Crystal is your go-to for glass-like transparent shades.
When this Matters Most
It’s particularly important to use compatible colourants when you’re making detailed jewellery pieces or working with fine silicone moulds. Unsuited pigments or excessive amounts can sometimes compromise your hard work by causing partial cures or tacky surfaces.
