Use Just a Little to Start: Our pigment pastes are really strong in color, so you don't need much. When mixing with a gallon of epoxy (which is about 8-9 pounds), begin with just a bit of paste - around 1.3 to 4.3 ounces should be enough. That's somewhere between half and just over two of our 2 oz. containers.
Try Small Tests First: Before mixing a big batch, do a small test. This way, you can see how the color turns out without using too much of your materials. Add the pigment slowly and see how the color develops.
Mix It Well: Make sure you mix the pigment paste thoroughly with the epoxy. You want the color to be even without any streaks.
For Less Color, Use Less Paste: If you want the color to be more see-through (translucent), use just a tiny amount of the paste.
Don’t Add Too Much: Putting in too much pigment can change how the epoxy works, so add the pigment carefully.
Follow the Instructions: If there are any specific instructions from the pigment maker, be sure to follow them, as they know their product best.
Remember, the way pigment and epoxy mix can vary, so it’s good to experiment a bit to get the color just right for your project.
