How Many Drops Needed to Tint White Resin?

How Many Drops Should You Add?

For highly concentrated resin colourants like Colourfun or Magic Crystal, begin by adding just one or two drops to your mixed white resin. Gently stir and observe the colour—these products are designed to deliver excellent pigmentation, so a little goes a long way. If you want a deeper or more vibrant shade, add another drop, mix, and repeat until you reach the desired intensity. Take care not to add colourant too quickly, as over-saturating can affect the resin’s finish and transparency.

Practical Tips for Even Colour

• Always add colourant gradually. Mix thoroughly before deciding to add more, as colour develops as you stir.
• Test your resin on a small sample first to see how the colour looks when cured, especially if aiming for subtle pastels.
• For a strong opaque effect, you may need a few more drops, but it’s best to add incrementally, particularly with concentrated sets like the Colourfun Set.
• When using transparent dyes, stop once you achieve your preferred tint to keep clarity.

When Drop Count Matters

Paying attention to the number of drops is important when you need consistent results—such as in batch production or matching previously made items. Recording the drop count per volume of resin helps you replicate your favourite shades reliably in future projects.
