Q: How much pigment should I add to epoxy?
The pigment reaches full opacity at roughly 1 gram per litre in FlowCast, 2 grams per litre in FlowCast SPR or 6 to 8 grams per litre in UVPoxy; cutting that ratio in half gives a more translucent result.
56Z8126 - EcoPoxy Coral Metallic Pigment, 15g (0.5 oz)
EcoPoxy produces superior-quality durable epoxy resin systems developed for the woodworking and art markets.
For use with all EcoPoxy resins, this powder consists of fine mica particles coated with pigment. They remain suspended in the cured epoxy, reflecting light to create a shimmering, iridescent effect.
For an opaque result, the mix ratio for FlowCast resin is approximately 1g/litre, 2g/litre for FlowCast SPR and 6g to 8g/litre for UVPoxy, depending on the color. A translucent appearance can be achieved using reduced ratios: half of the above for FlowCast and FlowCast SPR and 2g to 6g/litre for UVPoxy. A transparent mix requires even less pigment.
Colors can be combined for custom shades or used with EcoPoxy liquid pigments or glitter to produce a range of effects.
Comes in a 15g (0.5 oz) pot.

Yes, colors can be mixed together to create custom shades, and combining them with EcoPoxy liquid pigments or glitter adds further layered effects.
Each pot holds 15g (0.5 oz) of powder, which covers several small batches since a typical mix calls for only a few grams per litre of resin.
Stir the measured amount into the resin thoroughly before adding hardener, since powder pigment can clump if it's added to a partially mixed batch; a brief pass with a mixing stick or blade attachment breaks up any clumps.
No, the particles hold their position through the cure rather than sinking, so the shimmering finish stays consistent throughout the piece.
