Metallic Epoxy Resin Pigment: Long-Lasting Colour for Resin, UV Stable, Highly Concentrated - Metallic Old Gold 30g

Description

Polychromatic, shimmering and lustrous - our best-selling range of Metallic Resin Pigments will add stunning effects to your resin work. These pigments resemble polished metal with a visual shine and play a vital role in resin artwork by enhancing other colours. A little goes a LONG way, they are highly concentrated and must be pre-mixed with resin for use. They are thick and creamy, which is what allows for the beautiful bold and dense coverage. If you would like a more washed out effect you can add less pigment, but these will not give you a translucent look (for that you need our transparent tints). Top tips for use:Stir first: these colours can separate from their binder. This is completely normal - it just needs a good mix up Intermix: you can create any colour under the sun with our opaque pigments - try mixing two colours in a small pot prior to adding to your resin mix Use sparingly: the general rule of thumb is to use up to 10% by volume to your resin mix (1 part pigment to 10 parts resin mix). Any more than this and you will interfere with the resin ratio – resulting in your work curing with a tacky or flexible finish. We like to think about the amounts to use in terms of nuts & seeds... for 20mls resin you need a SESAME seed sized amount of pigment; for 40mls a PINE NUT, for 100mls a SUNFLOWER SEED; and for 250ml a CASHEW NUT sized amount of pigment. Add to resin: these pigments do not work like traditional paints (and can't be used to paint with on paper or canvas) - they must be pre-mixed with resin. Will appear much lighter if used in JESMONITE. Health & Safety: Resin8 Opaque Pigments are not classed as toxic. For more information please visit our Health & Safety pages at www.resin8.co.uk
