Craft Mica Powder & Colors

Pigment powders are the shimmer, depth, and color payoff behind resin, paint, and polymer clay product lines that look professional instead of homemade. The difference between good and bad pigment shows up in two ways: how cleanly it disperses into the medium, and how stable the color stays after cure or dry. Every pigment in this collection is tested for both. One critical tip for new makers: start with less pigment than you think you need. Over-pigmented resin causes soft spots and incomplete cure; over-pigmented paint clogs brushes and shortens the life of every tool that touches it.

Pre-mix pigment into a small portion of your medium before adding it to the full batch. Dispersion is much more even that way, and you avoid the clumping that causes streaky finished products. Store pigments in airtight containers away from humidity. Cakey, clumped pigment is a sign of moisture exposure, and a dry storage spot extends shelf life significantly — sometimes by years rather than months. Color consistency across reorders is one of the most important features of a reliable pigment source. When you've built a signature color into your product line, you need the pigment that produces it to be available and identical six months later. Bulk pricing is available for sellers running pigment-based product lines at real production volume.
