Okay, let me tell you about this epoxy pigment paste - it's seriously concentrated stuff! I used just 3 tiny scoops (thank goodness for the included spoon) in 1.5 gallons of deep pour resin, and wow - the color payoff was incredible. The arctic white created this beautiful, opaque finish that made my river table look professionally done.
The consistency threw me at first - it's a liquid paste rather than powder, which means you've got to be careful with spills. I learned this the hard way when a drop stained my silicone mat permanently. But hey, we're working with pigments - mess comes with the territory!
What really impressed me was how far this little jar goes. A pea-sized amount colors a surprising amount of resin, making it super cost-effective for large projects. The color stays vibrant without fading, which is perfect for jewelry pieces I want to last.
Now for the downside - packaging seems hit or miss. My first order arrived perfectly sealed, but the replacement (when I ran out) had leaked during shipping. Such a waste! When it arrives intact though, the compact container is great for tossing in my craft bag when visiting friends for resin nights.
Pro tip: If you're working with translucent effects or want to show off embedded objects, use this pigment sparingly. That opacity that makes it great for solid colors will completely obscure whatever's beneath it if you're not careful.
Despite the packaging gamble, I'll keep buying this brand because when it works, it really works. Just maybe order an extra jar in case one arrives damaged!
