Our Eye Candy Pigment Pastes will be based of the RAL color system. Some colors will be Pantone.
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.

This was my first time using epoxy and I am not a pro woodworker. My gf and I wanted to do a project and after watching people make these tables we decided to give it a try, The table isn’t done yet but I love the deep dark blue that this created. Looking forward to the completed color after polishing.
I love Eye Candy Powders but this is my first EC pigment paste. For my work, I prefer my color to be opaque and this is a bit more sheer than I like. But my biggest complaint is the odor. It is REALLY smelly!
Having only used one other pigment paste (Satori White) I was expecting the "Suiko Blue" pigment paste to be/function the same as the white. Not so much!Suiko Blue does not seem to be as thick a paste as the white...I ended up with blue pigment all over the place just trying to get the foil safety seal off...totally on me I should have been more patient....and not have assumed all pastes are the same consistency.Talk about highly pigmented! I used a toothpick to get a very small amount off the foil seal and achieved the color I wanted. It was a gorgeous shade of dark blue and far more translucent than I expected/thought I wanted it to be.Just like the Satori White Pigment Paste, I'm sure there will be a little bit of a learning curve to achieve my desired effect without degrading my epoxy.If you are doing any project where you are trying to mimic deep water, you will want Suiko Blue pigment paste...VERY happy with this color!!!
Pretty easy to mix and pour,I made a custom table for a client and she wanted dark blue,very happy with end result.
Love the product, but it's pricey
