Phosphorescent Powder Ratio in Resin Mix

← Back to How to mix resin and phosphorescent powder?

Wondering what proportion of phosphorescent powder you should add to resin for a glowing effect? Achieving the right ratio ensures your resin piece lights up beautifully in the dark without sacrificing clarity or consistency.

Recommended Mixing Ratio

For most resin projects, adding between 5% to 10% phosphorescent powder by weight delivers a medium to strong glow. Start with the lower end if you want a subtle shimmer; use more towards 10% if you prefer a vibrant luminous effect. It’s important to weigh the powder and resin for accuracy and to prevent clumping or cloudiness.

Tips for Best Results

• Mix the powder thoroughly into your mixed resin before pouring to avoid streaks or uneven sections.
• Using a clear or lightly tinted resin, like Art Pro Deluxe, helps maximise the glow.
• Test a small batch before committing to your final project—lighting and substrate colour can affect the luminous effect.

When the Ratio Really Matters

Precise ratios are especially important for jewellery, layered artworks, or items where strong visual contrast is needed. Overuse may reduce resin transparency, while underuse may produce only a faint glow.
