Can I use "Resi-Blast" in a grinder to increase resin effects?

Resi-Blast has quickly become a favourite among resin artists looking to add captivating cell or blooming effects to their projects. However, it’s important to use it correctly for the best and safest results.

Can You Use Resi-Blast in a Grinder?

No, Resi-Blast is not designed for use in a grinder or for mixing directly with aggregates. Its unique formula is intended to be dropped onto the surface of wet resin, where it reacts to form distinctive cell patterns. Attempting to grind or mix it with other materials could disrupt your artwork and lead to unpredictable results.

Best Practices for Creating Resin Effects

For optimal results, add drops of Resi-Blast to the surface of still-liquid resin. Watch as the additive gently spreads and produces dramatic cell effects and blooming patterns. You can use it with a variety of resins, including epoxy, polyester, and polyurethane. Always work with your resin while it’s still liquid to allow the Resi-Blast to work its magic.

When This Matters Most

If you’re aiming for striking cell designs in your resin art, proper application of Resi-Blast on the surface is key.
For projects that require blended or ground aggregates, stick to resins and additives specifically formulated for those uses.
