Understanding Geode Resin
Geode Resin is specially formulated to hold pigments beautifully, making it ideal for colourful projects. Key features include:
- Pigment suspension → keeps colours vivid and prevents sinking
- Thick viscosity → allows better flow control for designs
- Excellent clarity → enhances pigment brightness
- Durability → scratch- and chemical-resistant finish
This makes it a top choice for pigment-rich resin projects like geode art, wall pieces, and furniture coatings.
Here’s how Geode Resin and pigments can be used in your projects:
Artistic Creations
- Coasters, trays, and wall art with layered colours
- Abstract designs using metallic, pearl, and mica pigments
Functional Surfaces
- Tabletops, countertops, and decorative panels with colourful swirls
- Pigment layering for marbled or stone-like effects
Industrial Applications
- Eye-catching installations in showrooms, studios, or retail spaces
- Long-lasting colour effects thanks to UV stability
Pro Tip: Always add pigment in small amounts and build up intensity. Too much pigment can prevent proper curing.How to Mix Pigments Like a Pro.
- Choose the Right Pigment – Use mica powders, metallic pigments, liquid pigments, or alcohol inks depending on the effect.
- Mix Thoroughly– Blend pigment into resin slowly to avoid bubbles. Scrape sides and bottom of the cup for even dispersion.
- Layering Colours– Pour one colour at a time and allow partial curing before the next for depth. Swirl gently with sticks or heat tools for marble-like patterns.
- Control Opacity– Transparent pigments for subtle effects. Opaque pigments for bold, high-contrast designs.
Tips for Success
- Surface Prep → Keep base clean and dry. Use Monocoat Oil on wood for better adhesion.
- Mixing Ratio → Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended ratio (2:1 or 1:1).
- Temperature & Humidity → Work at 22–25°C with low humidity for best curing.
- Safety → Gloves, goggles, and ventilation are a must.
