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.
56Z8129 - EcoPoxy Margarita 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.

No, the particles hold their position through the cure rather than sinking, so the shimmering finish stays consistent throughout the piece.
Yes, UVPoxy is one of the three compatible resins; mix at roughly 6 to 8 grams per litre for opacity, or use less for a more translucent tint under UV cure.
This is a mica-based powder, with each particle coated in pigment.
