As someone who's been obsessed with resin art for years, I was thrilled to test out this 24-color epoxy pigment set. The moment I squeezed that first drop of 'Amber' into my UV resin, I knew this was something special - the color stayed crystal clear while giving my faux gemstone that perfect honey-like depth.
The biggest surprise? How concentrated these pigments are. For small projects like jewelry charms, literally one drop is enough to create vibrant colors. Though I did notice with larger pieces (like my tumbler project), I needed 3-4 drops to achieve the same intensity - something to keep in mind depending on your project size.
What makes these stand out from other brands I've tried is how easily they blend. Creating custom shades feels almost magical - my favorite combo so far is mixing the blue and turquoise for ocean-inspired cabochons. The squeeze bottles give me precise control, though I recommend keeping paper towels handy as the tips can get messy between colors.
Beyond resin, these have become my secret weapon for 3D printing too! Adding just a drop to clear filament creates stunning transparent prints. Pro tip: test each color first as some shades (especially reds) require slight temperature adjustments.
The only minor drawback? The bottles are quite small (about 2 inches tall), so if you're doing large-scale projects frequently, you might go through them faster than expected. But considering you get 24 different colors and how little you need per use, it's still an incredible value.
After using these for everything from jewelry making to customizing my Yeti tumbler, I can confidently say they've earned a permanent spot in my craft arsenal. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned resin artist, this set offers that perfect balance of quality and versatility that's hard to find elsewhere.
