Tips for Getting the Best Decorative Effects With Resin Colourants
Always start with clean, dust-free mixing tools and containers to avoid streaks or cloudiness. Add resin colourants gradually, testing as you go for the desired opacity and hue – higher dosing produces stronger shades, but avoid exceeding 5% pigment-to-resin ratio to maintain resin properties. Blend colours from the same product range for seamless results and check compatibility if combining different products. For transparency, use Magic Crystal range; for opacity or layering, try Colourfun or the Colourfun Set. Experiment on test pieces to fine-tune your technique and always follow manufacturer guidelines for resin and pigment ratios.
