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.
You can create your own unique color blends by mixing our pigment paste colors together. For example, use our Satori White and Kokuyo Black pastes to create a grey and so on!
Do you want some metallic in your paste color? Our pigments and pastes work well together. Feel free to add a pigment powder to your paste until you achieve the desired look.

This could be due to using too much paste compared to the amount of epoxy resin used. Reminder, it takes only a small amount of paste to achieve color. This doesn't happen often if any at all but this paste MUST be used / mixed with epoxy resin and not by itself in order for it to dry.

As anyone who works with resin knows, it is almost impossible to find a red pigment that doesn’t turn pink, but this is really, really red! Love it, mixes easily as well. Definitely recommend this paste!
I have been struggling for a long time to get a nice solid opaque color in my epoxy resin, until now! I have tried alcohol inks, mica powders, resin tints, acrylic paints, you name it! The tints and inks are great if you want transparency and light colors. The mica powders always have some kind of shimmer to them, and that is not always the look I want. This pigment paste is the answer to all my prayers, just a little dab in your batch makes the color as solid as a crayon. Recommending this to anyone who will listen!! AMAZING PRODUCT!
A lot of what you buy online now unless you spend a lot, the colors are very faint and sometimes see thru. Eye Candy Red is not like that. It is a solid red. And for the money you get a lot.
Love this pigment!
True bright tractor red pigment. Used in a sign for a customer and they loved it!
