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.
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.
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 ❤️❤️❤️
❤ 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
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.
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
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.
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 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 !
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 🙂😍
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!
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
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😂😂❤
Thankyou, now I know what I can use my leftover part A resin for 😊❤
I love all your teaching. Every time I watch I learn something new
As much as I love purchasing pigments paste, this helps me save a little coin just making it myself
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

Hahaha glad to be able to fill your time 😁 the jars I bought had paint in them. I just removed the paint.
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! 💰

That is awesome, thank you so much!
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!
Right up my alley. I have long planned on doing this. Pastes are so expensive. ❤
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 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 ❤️❤️❤️
Glad it was helpful! 😊
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!☺️
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 just watched a video where the lady used a glass mortar and pestle to mix it up
Yes, I didn’t have one
❤ 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
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
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!!

@@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

You are welcome!🤗
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 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, lol i need to know this also,
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 was going to ask if you could use part b as well. I have some fast cure that I absolutely hate but don't want to waste it.
Great information. Thank you
What a great hack!! Will certainly try this! Thank you for sharing!!🙌👍
You are so welcome!
I think your amazing, to teach me And other newbie trick of the art of resin !
Thanks so much 😊
Love this hack. Thank you sooo much
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!!!🎉🎉
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
Thanks for the knowledge!👍🏿💯❤️
You are so welcome
That was amazing.
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 🙂😍
You are so welcome!
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!
B will work as well
U R so sweet thank U for showing us how to make it
My pleasure 😊
This is amazing I always have A left over. Thanku so much ❤
You are so welcome!
Just awesome! Thank you! I have so many duplicate micas! This is perfect!
You're welcome!☺️

My pleasure 😊
Thank you. Great information for us newbies.
Glad it was helpful!☺️
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!
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
This is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing this.
You are so welcome!
Beautiful

Here’s the perfect video to answer that question th-cam.com/video/RY1UTzQsJdU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=w1qN_20EPiyWfWEn
Why not use two spoons or weigh the powder and resin
Awesome! Thanks! Im assuming you could use the part B and mix a different colour? ♥
Yep part B is fine too
Thanks Michele I’ve been meaning to do this and your clear instructions have helped me try it. Thankyou 🤗
You’re welcome 😊
Can you use part B instead I have heard it was B but this shows A works good
Yep either one works
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.
