Resin dye
Hi! I hope this is the proper place to ask. I’ve been struggling to learn how to work with resin, as it’s not my main artform and can be very messy. There’s many different types of resins so for the time being I’m sticking with what’s been easiest for me. I use uv resin, and found the best and cheapest brand for me is kisrel.
The problem I run into is that I’ve bought resin dyes, specifically a liquid dye? When I use it, not only does it not really mix as opaque as I want, it doesn’t cure.
I tried mica powder, and it worked great ! However, searching online I can only find metallics and other shiny colors for the mica powder. I want solid basic colors, even though metallics are fun.
I would normally just buy a couple things here and there and return it if it doesn’t work out, but I’m disabled and reliant on others to give me rides. Because of that, it’s harder for me to experiment and return what doesn’t work out.
I was hoping to ask others with more experience than me if there is any specific brands of resin dye you’ve used that works with uv resin? If anyone knows why powder works better than the liquid resin, that’d also be helpful so I can know what to do in the future.
