How did we do it – Mixing PearlEx Powder into the resin
*PearlEx Powder is a very strong pigment and you do not need a lot to achieve the colour you desire – Only a knife point of powder for this project is more than enough. Rule of thumb is not to use more than 10% pigment in your resin mixture.
- Mix your Craft Resin as per instructions.
- Always make sure your working surface is level.
- For this project we wanted to create a unique colour by mixing pigments together.
- We added a drop of black PoxyPigment to the PearlEx Powder to create a darker colour. Don’t be scared to play around with different colours, pigments and techniques. Resin art should be used as an expression.
- Fill your mould to the top.
- If you have any surface bubbles, you can use a lighter to pop these but be careful not to burn your mould. (For more bubble elimination techniques view the following link HERE ).
- You can unmould your coaster after 12 hours and finally uncover your magical creation.

- Remove the excess powder by tapping out your mould-leaving a smooth powdered finish in the mould.
