Personalising your epoxy resin table cast with colour or shimmering effects is simple and rewarding. With the right pigments or mica powders, you can easily achieve both vibrant hues and dazzling finishes in your next project.
How to Add Colour to Epoxy Resin
Colouring your resin table cast is straightforward—just mix pigment into your measured epoxy resin and hardener before pouring. Use resin-compatible pigment powders or liquids for best results, starting with small amounts and increasing to achieve your desired colour strength. Always test a small batch, as colour intensity can vary depending on the pigment and resin volume.
- Mix thoroughly for a smooth, streak-free finish.
- Track the amount of pigment you add if you’re layering, to maintain colour consistency between pours.
Using Mica Powders for Special Effects
Mica powders are a popular choice to add pearlescent or metallic effects to your resin table. Simply stir mica powder, such as those included in the Trasparente Epoxy Resin Kit, directly into your mixed resin. These fine powders disperse easily, producing shimmering, swirling patterns or subtle highlights, depending on your mixing technique.
- Blend gently for light shimmer, or mix more vigorously for dramatic, uniform effects.
- Experiment with different colours and amounts to achieve bespoke blends and creative looks.
Choosing the Right Kit or Resin
Starter kits like the River-Table Complete Kit supply everything you need, including sample pigments, to help you experiment. For deep or large table projects, select a deep-pour resin like EpoxyTable 5-Five, which pairs well with both pigments and mica powders. The Trasparente Resin Kit is ideal for multi-purpose projects, offering ultra-clear resin and a set of mica colours for unique effects.
