Tips for Resin Colouring Success

To achieve the best results when colouring epoxy resin, always add pigment sparingly—begin with a small amount and build up to your desired intensity. Thoroughly mix to avoid streaks or settling. Remember that excessive pigment can destabilise resin curing or affect its transparency, especially with highly concentrated colours. For specialist effects, use pigment sets designed for your technique, such as Marine Palette for ocean art. Always check compatibility with your chosen resin system and cure a small test batch when trying new techniques.

Expert Resin Colouring Tips

Mix slowly and thoroughly to avoid bubbles and streaks. Test pigment load on a small volume before your full pour—the ideal ratio varies by effect and resin system. For layered effects, let one hue partially set before adding the next. When creating oceans, Marine Palette can be paired with Wave-Pro for dazzling seafoam. Always follow the product’s specific usage guidelines to maintain resin performance.
