Customising epoxy resin projects with pigments or inclusions is an excellent way to create unique finishes, whether for jewellery, tables, or artistic decor. Knowing how to use and add these elements properly ensures results that look professional and last.
How to Add Pigments and Inclusions Safely
Once you have fully mixed your resin and hardener, it’s the ideal moment to add pigments or inclusions. Use only pigments specifically designed for epoxy resin; these are formulated for smooth blending and optimal results. Stir them in gently to achieve your desired opacity or colour effect. For inclusions such as dried flowers, sequins, or metallic flakes, ensure they are clean and dry to reduce the risk of bubbles or cloudiness in your finished piece.
Choosing Compatible Materials
Compatibility matters—a pigment or inclusion not made for resin can interfere with curing or clarity. Kits like the Evershine Collection – Artisan Jewellery Kit provide a selection of tested pigments and inclusions, ensuring ease of use for both beginners and seasoned crafters. Similarly, specialty resins such as “One-2-One” Epoxy Resin offer excellent clarity and blending potential for colour and decorative elements.
When This Matters: Project Types and Effects
Adding pigments and inclusions is especially valuable when making resin jewellery, statement coasters, or river tables. It allows you to enhance visual appeal, personalise gifts, and experiment with different artistic techniques. Deep pour projects and creative forms both benefit from careful addition of these elements for brilliant custom finishes.
