Best Epoxy Dyes for Strong or Deep Colours

← Back to How do you colour epoxy putty?

To achieve deep, opaque shades in epoxy resin or putty projects, selecting the right dye is essential. Let’s explore which products offer the richest, most intense results and how to use them for your craft or art.

Choosing a Dye for Strong, Opaque Colour

For deep or solid colours, opt for highly concentrated liquid dyes or colour pastes designed for use with epoxy resin. Products such as the Colourfun Liquid Epoxy Resin Colourant stand out for their rich pigmentation. A few drops go a long way to ensure excellent coverage, so you can easily dial up the opacity without compromising resin properties.

Tips for Blending and Achieving Desired Depth

Start by adding a minimal amount—usually 1% of the total resin mass—for translucent effects, and gradually increase up to a maximum of 5% for the deepest, most opaque tones. Always mix thoroughly to avoid streaks. Colour sets, such as the Colourfun Set, allow you to blend custom tones or create marble effects when working across multiple shades.

When Intense Colour Matters Most

• Creating bold, solid backgrounds for resin art pieces
• Resin jewellery or castings where vibrancy is a focal point
• Large, decorative boards requiring uniform, saturated colour
