EPOXY RATIOS

Epoxy

2 grams per 8 ounces

The most common question that we receive is "How much pigment per gallon of epoxy?". This is a very valid question and unfortunately there is no set answer due to the numerous types of applications and variations. This is why we recommend the 2 grams per 8 oz and add as desired.

For example:

Are you looking for an opaque or transparent look?
Lighter colors may take more pigment to achieve the color.

Why micron sizes matter:

PLEASE be aware of the micron sizes of the pigment. The larger the micron, the larger the particle.
Typical pigments average 10-60um.
Be aware that larger micron sized pigments will most likely have a heavier density which will cause the pigment to sink faster in fresh epoxy such as deep pours.

For example, our Icicle or 14k Nugget Gold is 200-700um and will most likely sink in fresh epoxy faster.
To alleviate sinking either let the epoxy settle up a little bit. Or, come back through your project to "stir" it a little more.

SOAPS RATIOS

Soap - Cold process	2 tsp per lb of oils
Soap - Hot process	½ tsp lb of MP base

AUTOMOTIVE / REMOVABLE PAINT RATIOS

Peelable Automotive Coatings (Plasti Dip, HaloEFX, P1Coatings, Pro Line, Autoflex, Etc.)	50 Grams Per Gallon
Standard Automotive Clears	25 Grams Per Quart
Appliance Paint And Coatings	25 Grams Per Quart
Architectural Coatings (Interior And Exterior)	10-20% By Weight
Wall Paper And Other Architectural Paper Coatings	1-5% By Weight

Peelable Coatings:

The majority of our pigments can be sprayed through a 1.2 tip
Be aware of the micron size. The larger the particle you may have to go to a larger tip.
The pigments can be mixed with the base color or mixed into the clear and sprayed over the base color.
The base color may impact the overall color of the pigment.

Light colored pigments yellows, pinks, etc., we recommend using a white base or a like colored base.
Dark colored pigments, we recommend using a black or dark colored base

Automotive Paint:

The majority of our pigments can and have been used for automotive.
The majority of our pigments can be sprayed through a 1.2 tip
Three ways to use our pigments for spraying:

Mix directly into the base color to create a unique blend
Mix and spray with your mid clear over the base color
Mix and spray with your top coat. Typically we do not recommend this due to the possibilities of striping. Also, we use the top coat as a UV protector or possible sanding of the top coat, etc.

ACRYLIC POURING RATIOS

STEP #1- MIX YOUR POURING MEDIUM

3 parts Behr8300 Deep Base Interior/Exterior Hi-Gloss Enamel. 1 part JOSONJA Polyurethane Water Based Gloss Varnish.

Mix gently folding paint and varnish together until they are completely mixed, Go Slow to reduce mixing bubbles.

STEP #2- DISPERSING PIGMENTS INTO YOUR MEDIUM

Pour 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of JOSONJA Gloss Varnish into mixing container. Add around a teaspoon of Pigment (I generally add a little more) into your container with the JOSONJA. Mix until all Pigments have dissolved into a liquid making sure to stir any clumps out at this time.

STEP #3- COMBINING YOUR POURING MEDIUM & DISPERSED PIGMENTS

Add around 3 Tablespoons of Pouring medium into your Dispersed Pigments. Mix thoroughly being slow and folding rather than whipping, this will minimize the air bubbles.

STEP #4- WHAT IF?

-If your new mixed color seems to thick- Add a small amount of JOSONJA and stir until you reach the desired consistency.

-If your new mixed color seems to thin- Add a small amount of Behr8300 (ONLY) and stir until you reach the desired consistency.

Eye Candy Epoxy Resin

The right epoxy resin gives you a dependable starting point for coatings, castings, artwork, and custom pieces. This versatile material begins as separate liquid components that react after they are measured and combined. As the mixture cures, it changes from a workable liquid into a hard, durable surface.

A two-part epoxy resin includes a resin component and a hardener component that must be blended according to the product instructions. Accurate measuring and thorough mixing help the chemical reaction occur evenly throughout the project. Following the recommended ratio also reduces the risk of soft spots, sticky areas, and an incomplete cure.

Choose the Right Resin for Your Project

Different projects require different working times, pour depths, and curing schedules. Deep-pour formulas are intended for thicker castings where the material needs more time to release heat and cure properly. Tabletop formulas are useful for coating bars, counters, artwork, and other surfaces that need a smooth, glass-like finish.

Fast-cure options can help when your schedule calls for a shorter turnaround. At Eye Candy Pigments, we carry a 24-hour fast-cure deep-pour option and a one-hour fast-cure resin alongside traditional tabletop and deep-pour products. Review the directions for your selected formula before mixing because working time, maximum pour depth, and cure time may vary.

Consider these details before selecting a formula:

intended project type
recommended pour depth
available working time
expected curing schedule
required kit size

A quality clear epoxy resin gives makers a transparent base for showcasing embedded objects, natural wood grain, artwork, or carefully chosen colorants. It can also be left uncolored when a clean, polished appearance is the goal. For colored projects, use pigment pastes and mica powders from Eye Candy Pigments to customize the finished look.

Shop Eye Candy Epoxy Resin

We offer one-gallon, two-gallon, and three-gallon kit options. Choosing an appropriate kit size can help you order enough material without relying on guesswork. You can use our website’s epoxy resin calculator to estimate how much product a project may require.

Good preparation is just as important as selecting the right formula. Keep the workspace clean, confirm that molds or surfaces are ready, and gather measuring and mixing supplies before opening the containers. Working methodically makes it easier to stay within the formula’s usable working time.

Whether you are new to resin or creating professional epoxy projects, Eye Candy Pigments offers supplies for every experience level. The right formula gives you a suitable working time and pour depth for your project. Browse our tabletop, deep-pour, and fast-cure epoxy resin formulas.
