Pigment Matched to Material
The biggest mistake new resin artists make is using the wrong pigment. Water-based dye clouds epoxy. Resin pigment inhibits silicone cure. Each Barnes pigment is matched to its material — so you get the cure you expected and the colour you wanted.
- ✓ Resin pigments — opaque or translucent, cure-safe
- ✓ Silicone pigments — won’t inhibit platinum cure
- ✓ Pinata alcohol inks — intense translucent effects
- ✓ Sculpt Nouveau patinas — aged metal finishes
- ✓ Alumilite dyes — translucent for polyurethane

Common Questions
Resin or silicone pigment?
Match the pigment to the material. Resin pigment for epoxy, silicone pigment for silicone — never swap.
How much to add?
Start at 3-6% by weight. Too much can prevent cure.
What are Pinata inks?
Alcohol-based concentrated dyes for translucent effects in epoxy and alcohol ink art.
Can I mix pigments?
Yes — Hero Pigments and Pinata inks both blend. Test small batches first.
What’s a patina?
A reactive finish for metal sculpture — aged bronze, jade, oxide effects.
