Mixing pigments smoothly into dark epoxy resin can be challenging, but with the right technique, you can avoid streaks and achieve bold, even colour throughout your project.
Step-By-Step Guide to Even Pigment Mixing
For the best results, always start by measuring a small amount of your mixed resin and gradually add your chosen pigment. Mix this smaller batch thoroughly until the colour appears uniform, ensuring the pigment is completely dissolved with no visible clumps. Once your coloured resin is fully blended, carefully combine it with the remainder of your clear or dark resin. This method helps prevent the formation of streaks and uneven patches in the final pour.
Choosing and Using Pigments for Dark Epoxy
High-quality liquid colourants such as Colourfun are specially formulated for easy blending and vivid results, whether you seek deep opacity or translucent effects. Metallic powders like Sahara mica can add movement and visual depth, which show especially well in darker bases. For even coverage, start with a small pigment dose and add gradually, mixing well each time. Avoid exceeding recommended pigment loads to maintain resin performance.
When Even Mixing Matters Most
- Large surface projects—such as countertops or river tables—reveal pigment inconsistencies easily.
- Resin art and jewellery require precise colouration for intricate details or layering effects.
- Metallic and pearlescent finishes appear more striking and professional when pigments are evenly dispersed.
