Are Colourfun Colourants Compatible with Doming Resin?

← Back to How to set resin percentages on domes

Blending vibrant colours into your domed resin projects is a great way to elevate badges, labels, and jewellery. Here’s what you need to know about using Colourfun colourants with doming resin for smooth, consistent colour results.

Compatibility of Colourfun Colourants

Colourfun liquid colourants are specifically formulated for compatibility with doming and casting resins from ResinPro. They disperse evenly, ensuring that your resin remains bubble-free and clear while vividly tinted. Thanks to their high concentration, only a small amount is needed to achieve both translucent and opaque effects, allowing excellent control over your desired finish.

Tips for Even Mixing and Application

For best results, add the Colourfun colourant slowly to your mixed doming resin, stirring thoroughly until the colour is fully uniform. Maintain a pigment ratio of up to 5% by mass, so the resin’s self-levelling and curing characteristics are retained. This is especially important for domes, as over-pigmentation can affect clarity and finish. If you’re working with curved or flexible surfaces, consider pairing Colourfun colourants with a flexible doming resin such as Be Flex Transparent Polyurethane Doming Resin for optimal adherence and durability.

When Colourant and Dome Resin Matters Most

Custom artwork or product branding where colour vibrancy and consistency is vital
Jewellery or crafts needing strong, even pigmentation across domed surfaces
