Our flagship products Magnifico One Resin, the fast-curing 12H Resin, Monocoat Oil for wood finishes, and Geode Resin — provide artists, DIYers, and industrial users with high-performance solutions. In this blog, we’ll dive into resin pigments and show you how to mix colours like a pro. Whether you’re a beginner experimenting with resin art or a seasoned maker, these tips will help you create vibrant, fade-resistant results.

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.

  1. Choose the Right Pigment – Use mica powders, metallic pigments, liquid pigments, or alcohol inks depending on the effect.
  2. Mix Thoroughly– Blend pigment into resin slowly to avoid bubbles. Scrape sides and bottom of the cup for even dispersion.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Final Thoughts 

Resin pigments open endless possibilities for artists and makers. With Geode Resin from Magnifico Resins, you can achieve vibrant, fade-resistant colours that bring depth and brilliance to your work.
