A Complete Guide to Chalk and Aqua Resin Pigments

When working with mineral resin, every detail matters. And among these, color plays a fundamental role. Knowing how to use pigments correctly can transform a simple creation into a unique, vibrant, and exciting piece. In this guide, I'll guide you through how to make the most of non-toxic resin pigments, with a special focus on Aqua Pigment , the line designed for safe, easy, and creative work with Aqua Resin .

Why use specific pigments for Aqua Resin non-toxic mineral resin?

Many people try using acrylic paints or generic pigments, but the results are often disappointing: the color separates, loses intensity, or worse, compromises the resin's curing process. Aqua Pigment pigments are specially formulated to blend perfectly with mineral resin, ensuring intense, stable color that blends perfectly with the mix.

What types of pigments should you choose?

With Aqua Pigment, you have a vast palette of super-concentrated, ready-to-use liquid colors at your disposal. You can choose from:

• Light tones , for a delicate, romantic and harmonious style

• Intense and saturated colours , for modern, pop or statement creations

• Creative shades , obtained by mixing multiple pigments or gradually dosing them

You can use them pure or mix them together to create endless combinations. Every drop is an invitation to experiment.

How do you use pigments with Aqua Resin?

The process is simple but requires careful attention. I recommend working in a clean container and measuring carefully to achieve a uniform and stable color. Here are the steps:

1. Prepare the Aqua Resin mixture following the proportions indicated.

2. Add a little Aqua Pigment to the liquid part (water or Aqua Shield ) before mixing it with the powder.

3. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or mixer until you obtain a uniform shade.

4. Pour the mixture into the molds and let it harden.

💡 Artist tip: Add the pigment little by little. Thanks to its extremely high concentration, just a few drops are enough to achieve a bright, even color.

Creative techniques and special effects

Want something more than the classic solid color? Here are some ideas for creating original effects with Aqua Pigment pigments :

• Marbled effect: Pour two or more partially mixed colored mixtures into the same mold, then create light movements with a toothpick.

• Ombré effect: divide the mixture into different containers, each with increasing amounts of pigment, and pour in layers into the mold.

• “Drop in” technique : drop drops of pure pigment directly into the casting plaster for an abstract and dynamic look.

Practical tips for working better

• Use only Aqua Pigment , liquid pigments specifically designed for mineral resin. Avoid acrylic paints or generic varnishes.

• Clean spatulas and containers immediately: the pigments color intensely!

• Always do a color test on a small amount before casting the entire project.

How to store your pigments

After each use, close the bottles tightly to prevent the product from drying out. Store Aqua Pigment pigments in a cool, dry place away from direct light. If properly stored, they will maintain their vibrancy and performance for countless future projects.
