Whether you’re casting jewellery, pouring river tables, or experimenting with creative art projects, understanding your colouring options will help ensure professional, vibrant results every time.

Overview: Choosing the Right Colourant for Resin

When selecting colouring agents for resin, it’s essential to use pigments and dyes specifically formulated for resin systems. This guarantees brilliant results without streaking, cloudiness, or poor adhesion. You can achieve translucent, opaque, or even glass-like effects by choosing between paste, liquid, and transparent dyes tailored for either epoxy or UV resin. Each product and colourant set below is designed with resin compatibility, allowing you to unleash your creativity across clear, bright, or custom-mixed colours.

Tips for Achieving the Best Colour Effects in Resin

For the best results, always use colourants created specifically for resin. Avoid household acrylics or inks, which can cause unpredictable curing or dullness. Pay attention to the recommended usage—too much pigment can affect cure times or result in uneven texture. To create a grey shade, mix white and black Colourfun liquid dyes, or add a dash of grey metallic powder. When layering colours, let previous layers partially cure to avoid unwanted blending.
