If you’re planning a large casting or creative project, knowing exactly how far a bottle of Colourfun dye will go in 5 litres of resin can help you achieve consistent colour and avoid waste. Here’s a practical guide to measuring and mixing Colourfun for perfect results.
How Much Colourfun is Needed?
For a bold, rich hue in 5 litres of resin, you will need around two to three 25ml bottles of Colourfun dye. This amount delivers striking, opaque colour in your finished piece. If a delicate or translucent effect is preferred, a single bottle can be enough—use less dye and build up colour slowly for precise control.
Tips for Effective Mixing and Application
Begin by blending a small portion of dye into your resin, mixing thoroughly to assess the intensity. Add more only as needed, bearing in mind that Colourfun is highly concentrated. Overloading with colourant isn’t advised, as it can impact the curing process—it’s best to stay well within the suggested limits. For reliable, vivid results and simple mixing, the Colourfun Liquid Epoxy Resin Colourant is specifically crafted for compatibility with resin art and castings.
When Precise Colour Control Matters
Projects like river tables, jewellery, or decorative boards often require specific shades and consistent colouring across large volumes. In these scenarios, measuring out your dye in accordance with resin weight and gradually achieving the desired opacity is key for professional-looking outcomes every time.
