Can I add makeup pigments to the easy cast resin and hardener mix?

[FunkyTreasures]

@dreamworldvsreality powder makeup pigments should work, but always test first. The "sparkle" in the pigments my sink or change colors. Add just a drop or two to a toothpick of the pigment. That way you don't waste alot if it has a reaction. It's always best to "liquify" the powder in a small amount of resin before adding it to the entire batch.

I love your videos and I have bought almost all your molds and still gonna buy more. I want to know more about glow in the dark powder. How much can I pour on a resin mix of 2 ounces. 1 part to 4 part resin would be resin mix or just resin without the hardener. What amount is good for 2 ounces of resin mix?

[FunkyTreasures]

@datashine38 The calculation is for 1/2 ounce to 2 ounces of clear medium but you won't need that much for such small amounts of resin. Start with with something like half of a 1/4 teaspoon and add more until you like saturation. Too much will inhibit the resin from curing. An easy way is to charge the Glow Powder first and then add to resin. That way you are able to tell when it's enough.

I put the black in a pipette then released it while the pipette was in the resin.

You've been such an inspiration. I may try doing this. I've been sitting on the fence for some time now. Thank you for your videos.

@FunkyTreasures pouring the black ink in a resin mix cup or just straight from the black ink bottle?
