Michelle i see the paste is mixed by using part A of Resin and Mica, so my question is will it affect the ratio of the clear Resin ( A/B ) that i will be using hope that makes sense lol
Not at all, that’s what the bought ones are as well, a tiny amount won’t throw off your ratios. That’s why I made a little something with it to show it’s just fine,
I was going to ask that some question obviously it worked out but what if you wanted to be using more of the pigment paste or once you put the color in …Does that change the composition… Actually, no matter what we use there’s a limit for colorant versus resin so I kind of answered my own question there, huh lol😂
Good video and just a little tip. I would store the mix in a blacked out container, not a clear one. I had an epoxy once that came in half gallons of part A and B. I poured them into squeezable containers that were clear. So I could work with them easier. Usually part A is the epoxy and part B is the hardener. From sitting in the clear bottles over time, my part B the hardener turned yellow from being exposed to lights. Maybe even take the clear containers and put into a brown paper bag or something.
I can only use uv resin begin of not having space for objects to sit around for curing time. So this pigment paste technique reminds me of how I get my powder to mix easier in my uv resin. Whatever amount of resin I’m going to use, I only put a small amount in with mica powder first. Then after it’s blended smooth I add the rest of the resin for mixing. Just using a cooking trick for not having lumps in gravy from flour or gravy mixes. Thanks for showing this, I’ve always wondered what the heck pigment paste was. Oh! And I love the idea for the paint containers to storage containers. One of those “ why didn’t I think of that?” moments.
Thank you so much for this ,I love when you ladies take the time to show us theses things . Cost is a big issue for most of these days. Many thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Went to the 5 quarter store and couldn’t find the jars, I DID, however find small jars full of glitter. Thought of you, lol. I bought all the different colors, emptied into separate bags and washed them out. So now I have 6 jars to make pigment paste. As soon as I can move. I’m removing the carpet from the house and have been working on the stairs. Somehow I pulled my back. Which means, I’m watching all your old videos today, lol.
This was such a helpful tutorial, thank you so much. I avoid pigment pastes due to the cost, so I am really looking forward to making some. Thanks also, for taking the time to test it out. Much appreciated x
Thank you very very much for giving the quantities of everything. This is the 3 or 4th video on this subject I've watched and you're the first to do that. Most say just mix it by sight (which i get, to a point) but i like to know the correct way to do things first. Also most of their seemed so thin. Nothing like the paste you made which is very similar to the density of the pigment paste I've bought in the past. So again, thank you for sharing this video. I REALLY appreciate it.
❤ that color is so beautiful.... My husband and I just got started on this craft... Just learning. We love both you and your husband's videos 💗. Haven't tried epoxy yet... But we are mingling with UV resin
I have resin paste in my Amazon cart as we speak! Now, my question may be showing my lack of experience! Oh well, I’m not very experienced! Anyway, I take it that regular paste is made with Part A. Otherwise, why doesn’t this throw off your ratios when you mix your resin? Did I word that right? I have no idea if that’s a dumb question, so all of you stop laughing! 😅 Thank you, Michelle.
Not a dumb question at all. You can probably use part b instead to make it as well, I don’t see why not. You aren’t throwing off your ratio with such a tiny amount on your stick. Also a lot of that on your stick is also the color.
I would love to know what is the difference between just adding some mica powered and using a paste to color your resin ? thank you for your tutorial, I appreciate it a lot! Take care !
Wow really enjoyed this tutorial thanks a million for sharing this will definitely be making my own paste now have loads of mica will be on missing list for next couple hrs making paste and its all your fault Michelle 😅😂🤗🤗🤗
I LOVE learning new things and this was just what I needed. I have bth colorful mica powder’s and resin I can’t use because it was left over so tomorrow, after I take a break from redoing my stairs I’m going to make a bunch of colors. I love paste but we’re so limited and they’re so expensive. Thanks again for the heads up!❤ while I’m thanking you thanks for the reminder that those little jars are at the dollar store. Which happens to be down the street from me, lol.
Thanks so much for this video! I was looking at all of the links you add to your videos and I am lost when it comes to the different resins. What does table top do? Or polyurethane? When to use which kind?? I just normally use one kind and uv resin as well. I'd be so thankful if you could sum that up for me since you are so knowledgeable!? Yes, you can tell Mr Glitz I said that😂😂❤
Sinker is different that is more liquid. I don’t know how to make that. To make white pigment paste for blooms you would use titanium powder with either part A or part B either would work but you’d have to ground that down super long to get the powder completely incorporated.
Well I'm glad I saw this video because I had read online that it was part B and was going to make some this weekend using B. I'm wondering if it really matters so now my curiosity is going to get the best of me 😂 You have proof right here that A works! Thank you!
Which ratio for a and B after paste made is to be put in plate holder with that tiny amount of paste? TY! It's beautiful. I mean my pasote counts as a portion of the A resin(the blue paste)
Use it as you would use any paste your purchase, it doesn't change the ratio of anything. When they manufacture paste they use either A or B as well and we have no idea. It doesn't affect the finished product.
OOOOOH this is sooo helpful . Thank You so much for sharing ! I have tha same mica powder , Oh I can't wait to make my paste now !! ty again Michelle 🙂😍
Greetings frim Mumbai, India. Just came across tour video and thank you for sharing it. My question is, can i not use the “B” part instead of the “A” part? Reason being is i find i have a lit of the hardner left over so if i can use that up in making pigment pastes it would be great. Thank you for your reply.
Using mica just makes the colors shimmery and pastes purchased that are not shimmery are just the color, if that makes sense. I have never made a paste from anything other than mica so mine are always shimmery.
Thanks for Yr instructional video. I had my resin part A left as part B was over and was wondering what I cud do. Saw yr video n m gonna try it with white n black
Hey Michelle! I have a question. I have liquid pigment, would it be the same ratio, would it even work? Is this even a stupid question...lol! Thanks for all you do.
@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 oops I hit the button too soon. Can you also use the a epoxy of the quick fast one? Can't thank you for the word is for it lol
I haven’t tried any that have discoloration yet, if they are thicker resins you may just need to adjust ratios. Give it a try, you’ll get the hang of it. 👍
As much as I love purchasing pigments paste, this helps me save a little coin just making it myself
I love all your teaching. Every time I watch I learn something new
Thankyou, now I know what I can use my leftover part A resin for 😊❤
WOW you are AMAZING thank so much this will definitely definitely save keep buying mica powder LIFESAVER ❤
Glad it was helpful!

Great video, thank you. Not only that I can use the excess of A resin wisely, but now I can also make my own shade of the pigment paste 🔥❤️
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for showing how to mix it with the resin. I didn’t know how it worked!!
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial. Great way to use up those small sample mica bags. 🥰
Great idea! Or that one jar of resin that didn’t finish at the same time as the other 🤦♀️😁
Love this. I shall definitely make some paste xx
Viewing from the caribbean the paste came out lovely the stand to beautiful colour green my favourite

I see I am not the only one who sometimes buys things just to get the containers 💞 thanks for showing us, every penny adds up! 💰
Right up my alley. I have long planned on doing this. Pastes are so expensive. ❤
So glad you are wearing gloves. So few resin TH-cam creators do.
I have to, I developed an allergic reaction to UV resins! Not fun!
Thank you so much for this ,I love when you ladies take the time to show us theses things . Cost is a big issue for most of these days. Many thanks ❤️❤️❤️

Hahaha glad to be able to fill your time 😁 the jars I bought had paint in them. I just removed the paint.
Who knew, Thank you for sharing, A great way to get the colour you want by mixing different mica powders, can't wait to try this x
I so enjoy your videos because you really teach instead of just making an item. Especially love the hacks you let us in on.
Thank you so much!☺️
Awesome
Love this not only for the savings but also for being able to get closer to the same color when making duplicates of an item. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you 😊 I have learned how to make my own paste so now I do not have hear my hubby saying about me buying crafting supplies 😅❤
😁 awesome! There’s always a way!!
This was such a helpful tutorial, thank you so much. I avoid pigment pastes due to the cost, so I am really looking forward to making some. Thanks also, for taking the time to test it out. Much appreciated x

You can also use two of the same measuring spoons.

You can do it! 😊
I have a question... Can you use part b instead of part a? I've noticed that you can buy part b by itself... But not a🤔
Yes you can use part b you may need to adjust the amounts of resin or powder to get the right consistency.
Awesome 👍 thanks! I wasn't sure because of it being the hardener. 😊
It’s only a hardener if you combine a and b together
Great information ❤
Glad it was helpful!😊
Very interesting
I have not seen any one do this
I have only seen people make alcohol ink
This is good to know
now i can make my pigment past yay i am new on this
Thanks for video 🇳🇿👏😊
My pleasure 😊
Awesome! I’m going to try that. Thank you❤️👍🏻
Have fun!

@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 Michelle how do you do the 5 minutes in th vacuum chamber please
@@ritasnow455 I don’t have any timer on it I just time it myself.
@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 Do you have to release the pressure slowly then before shutting the chamber down
@@ritasnow455 I shut off the pump first then release the pressure slowly
Thank you for your video. It was very informative. I've spent so much money on paste but now thanks to you I can make my own. God Bless
Wonderful!
Thank you, thank you❣️. I have wanted to learn how to make my own pigment paste❤
Love you both and your channel 👍
Great !! Thank you so much for watching!
I would love to know what is the difference between just adding some mica powered and using a paste to color your resin ? thank you for your tutorial, I appreciate it a lot! Take care !
It’s takes A LOT LESS paste to color resin than powder. It will stretch your micas out longer. 😊
Thank You @@glitznglitterbymichelle1
This does save a ton! I love the color!
Thanks for sharing I was wondering if I could make my own
Go for it!
Cool!!! I'M going to do this.❤
Have fun!
Why not use two spoons or weigh the powder and resin
Wow really enjoyed this tutorial thanks a million for sharing this will definitely be making my own paste now have loads of mica will be on missing list for next couple hrs making paste and its all your fault Michelle 😅😂🤗🤗🤗

So true!😃
Well, this was enjoyable and very worth watching! Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just watched a video where the lady used a glass mortar and pestle to mix it up
Yes, I didn’t have one
Thank you for sharing, and now I know❤❤❤
Can you use part B instead I have heard it was B but this shows A works good
Yep either one works
Thank you so much for this video!!!!!
You are so welcome!
@glitznglitterbymichelle1 Question- can you use EITHER part A or B to make this? Or does it just need to be part A?
Either one is good just don’t use both or it Will obviously cure 🥴
I think your amazing, to teach me And other newbie trick of the art of resin !
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks so much for this video! I was looking at all of the links you add to your videos and I am lost when it comes to the different resins. What does table top do? Or polyurethane? When to use which kind?? I just normally use one kind and uv resin as well. I'd be so thankful if you could sum that up for me since you are so knowledgeable!?

Here’s the perfect video to answer that question th-cam.com/video/RY1UTzQsJdU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=w1qN_20EPiyWfWEn
Is this how you could make your own white sinker??
Sinker is different that is more liquid. I don’t know how to make that. To make white pigment paste for blooms you would use titanium powder with either part A or part B either would work but you’d have to ground that down super long to get the powder completely incorporated.

B will work as well
Thank you so much! You just saved me a ton of money.
You are welcome!🤗
This is brilliant! I'm trying to make a nice red and hopefully this technique will help me achieve that. Thank you
You can do it!
I'm curious as to why you would not just add the Mica to the resin as opposed to making a paste then adding it? Im trying to figure out differences.
Pigment paste uses much less than adding mica powder. It’s just a way to conserve your powder.
I like that color!!!
Thanks for the knowledge!👍🏿💯❤️
You are so welcome
Really awesome! I like that I can mix a color and know it will be right the next time too!
What a great hack!! Will certainly try this! Thank you for sharing!!🙌👍
You are so welcome!
I always wondered how you made pigment paste..thank you Michelle love you work...
You are so welcome😊

Great hack! I am almost out of my favorite mica pace and will definitely use this to stretch it out more. Them you!
Thank you so much. I love learning new things. This is awesome 😁
So glad!😊
Hi Michelle, I was just wondering whether we can use eye shadow with the resin to make different colours? Thanks for your videos ❤
Sure can!
Just awesome! Thank you! I have so many duplicate micas! This is perfect!
You're welcome!☺️
This is amazing I always have A left over. Thanku so much ❤
You are so welcome!
Assuming that it doesn’t take much to color your resin, I guess there is no issue of having too much of part A?
Correct
Thanks for the hack 😊 great money saving idea
You’re welcome 😊
Love it!!! Thanks for showing us this hack!!!! Great information!!!
You are so welcome!
U R so sweet thank U for showing us how to make it
My pleasure 😊
OOOOOH this is sooo helpful . Thank You so much for sharing ! I have tha same mica powder , Oh I can't wait to make my paste now !! ty again Michelle 🙂😍

@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 thank you so much for your quick reply. Will definitely try this out.
Awesome! Thanks! Im assuming you could use the part B and mix a different colour? ♥
Yep part B is fine too
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Beautiful
Thank you
Is there an advantage to using paste vs adding pigments to resin? TIA
Using mica just makes the colors shimmery and pastes purchased that are not shimmery are just the color, if that makes sense. I have never made a paste from anything other than mica so mine are always shimmery.
Can you do this with the harder too? I always have more hardner than resin
Yes
Thanks for sharing 😊
My pleasure 😊
Doesn't this make an uneven measurement of the resin when mixed into both parts of resin?
No because when you purchase pigment paste that’s how they make it and it doesn’t affect ratios. You don’t use enough to change that.
Can i use part B i have loads left over from a failed mix? Xoxox
Yes either one will work, just don't use both together obviously it will cure LOL
Awesomeness I say! Thank you.
Thanks for Yr instructional video. I had my resin part A left as part B was over and was wondering what I cud do. Saw yr video n m gonna try it with white n black
Wow, how easy & certainly interesting, so helpful, thank you😊😊
Hey Michelle! I have a question. I have liquid pigment, would it be the same ratio, would it even work? Is this even a stupid question...lol! Thanks for all you do.
If it’s liquid already no need to change it 👍
I just started doing this.
Thank you. Great information for us newbies.
Glad it was helpful!☺️
This is awesome!! Thank you so much!!❤
Thank you Michelle, very informative.
Glad it was helpful!😊
Definitely going to try this!!! Thanks for sharing this
Fab idea... just want to ask, as it's made up from resin A.... will it not change the ratio when adding it to your mixed resin A & B ? Thank you ❤❤❤
Not at all, you use such a tiny amount. That’s what the paste is made from when you buy it as well.
I love this! Great video. I'm surprised that using Part A of the resin doesn't mess with the 1 to 1 ratio when you mix it with the resin.
That’s what all pigment pastes are made from, it’s such a tiny amount you will use so it won’t mess with ratios.
😁@@glitznglitterbymichelle1
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you
You're very welcome!
Could the part A and mica powder be mixed in the container its going to be stored in?
Sure!
Oh my gosh! That's so awesome! I guess you can only use the a part for it right?
You can choose A or B either one will work 👍
@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 thank you...
if the B has some yellowing to it, is it still okay to use or not?
@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 also can you use
@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 oops I hit the button too soon. Can you also use the a epoxy of the quick fast one? Can't thank you for the word is for it lol
I haven’t tried any that have discoloration yet, if they are thicker resins you may just need to adjust ratios. Give it a try, you’ll get the hang of it. 👍
