What you can use to add color to your resin is referred to as the "Resin Color Basics".

You can use a variety of materials to color, however each material has advantages and disadvantages you will want to be aware of.

ArtResin is a water-clear formula that is used to coat paintings, photos, wood, puzzles, etc.ArtResin can be used for many other things, such as petri dish art, jewelry from silicone molds, and flow art.What you should know about each colorant is listed here.

Alcohol ink is a very popular colorant.The colorant is needed to create petri dish art.It will mix in thoroughly with ArtResin, but is more often dropped in and left alone to allow for its cool effects: ink tendrils, branches, and squiggles are seemingly petrified in place.ArtResin is non-flammable on its own in its liquid state, but this is not the case when alcohol ink is added to the mix.A torch should not be used on alcohol ink.

ResinTint is a colorant that mixes in.It is not meant to be used on its own without being mixed into resin, which is why it is designed for compatibility with ArtResin.While alcohol ink and alcohol paint look lovely on paper, they do not behave properly without being mixed into resin.You wouldn't use food coloring without binding it to another substance.This is nothing more than a comparison between materials.The good news is that ArtResin is non-toxic and nonflammable, so it is unaffected by the addition of ResinTint.

ArtResin can be used with acrylic paint, but because it is a plastic and has a matt finish, it tends to take away the glossiness of the resin.People who work with it like the look and want to keep that look.

Oil paint doesn't mix well with ArtResin.It gets weird and stringy.Don't bother with it.

The delicate balance needed for the chemical reaction to occur properly can be affected by the colorant you choose.Since you don't need a lot of colorant to saturate the entire transparent mixture, you should stop adding it before the 6% point is reached.
