As some others have said, the one you said was green looks like an orange/brown colour when you demolded it. At 3:23 I can see the green on the plastic & tools but the colour in the pot is a dark red/brown. Bit confusing. Looks like a good idea for some of the other colours though. Especially white!

Hi Steve, after watching this one.... I made a paste with powdered paints (to be mixed with water to make the water paints for children). It's nicer than when I was using the powdered paints like mica powder. I'm really pleased with the new pigments I'm able to get this way. Also, by using this method I'm not getting any gritty grains in my resin!!! Thanks so much.📽🎥🎶🎶🎶💋💖

I’ve used acrylic paint to color my resin. I usually add it directly to the A/B mixed resin. Sometimes I add to much paint and the resin doesn’t bloom or even (EGADS) doesn’t set. I’m going to try using acrylic and only part A to make the pigment dye. Hope it works. I’m love your videos and I’ve used several of your projects. Watching from Valdosta Georgia, USA.

There's a massive difference between powdered and liquid food colouring. Liquid food colouring is water-based and resin and water should never be used together, as the water will stop the resin from curing properly, leaving you with a sticky mess. xx

Have you tried mixing the powdered coloring in a bit of high percentage alcohol (91% is good, 99% is ideal but hard to get these days) to create either an alcohol ink or just to turn it into the paste instead? I'm fairly certain that it shouldn't hurt the resin since you can use alcohol ink in resin. I think you'd need completely airtight containers or dropper bottles if you use the alcohol though, since it would evaporate otherwise, but it might be easier than your method and you could always add more alcohol if needed as long as the color stays good. Experiment if you haven't, please? I'm curious. 😅

Hi Steve, like the video. I have a question. Is it possible to use the titanium dioxide as a powder in epoxy resin? Like you would use a mica powder for instance. And, have you ever tried making pigments from natural materials? Cruhed charcoal for instance. I bet you can get a lot of different kinds of gray and black with that. Or dried seeds of fruit, mix it in the blender or something and add it as coloring. Or dried fruits.. blueberries, strawberries, plumb.. I'm thinking about trying that myself too. haha But I was just wondering if you did anything like it before?

This is a really interesting idea 😀. Is there an alternative to using part A of the resin? I use quite a lot of ready made pigments and just thinking that if I were to use part A of my resin to make my own custom colours it will affect how much I have left to pour with. I suppose just making up a couple of colours in small quantities would not make much difference but larger quantities would. Also, does the part A resin for the mixing have to be the same brand as the resin used for pouring? I have some resin I bought last year's and don't like it, so I could use that. It is a different brand to my main resin, so there might be a reaction maybe?
