Haksons Concentrated (Translucent) Pigments for Epoxy Resin - Amber
Product Description
Haksons Concentrated Pigments are translucent, meaning that they are semi-transparent and allow light to pass through them. This allows the color of the pigment to be seen, but also allows the underlying layers or substrate to show through. This can create a beautiful, layered effect in your resin projects. When using translucent pigments, it is important to keep in mind that the final color of your resin may be affected by the color of the underlying layers. For example, if you are using a white substrate and a blue translucent pigment, the final color of the resin may appear lighter and more muted than if you were using a darker substrate. Translucent pigments can be a great choice for creating a wide range of effects in your resin projects, from subtle, nuanced shades to bold, vibrant colors.
How to use?
Step 1: Measure Out Epoxy Resin
Begin by measuring out the appropriate amount of epoxy resin according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2: Mix Pigment Into Resin
Next, mix a maximum of 2% of the Haksons Concentrated Pigment into the resin, adjusting the amount as needed to achieve the desired intensity of color. Be sure to mix the pigment thoroughly into the resin to ensure an even distribution of color.
Step 3: Strain Mixture (Optional)
If there are strands or clumps of pigment left in the resin after mixing, strain the mixture through a filter paper or muslin cloth to remove any undissolved particles.
