Hi I have a block of material that has colored layers I bought from someone it's really thin layers of color but I do not know what it is made of...? Could you help me I would like to reproduce it but not sure what it is?
You get a bolder colour :) in this video they use white because it makes a more pastel style of colour but if you were to add it to clear gel coat you would get it fairly similar to how it appears in the container pre mixture
The odor you smell is the styrene in the resin. The styrene promotes the crosslinking of the resin. Without it, it would work. You can try epoxy resin. It doesn't have a strong smell like polyester.
Would be nice to see the finished product.

so if i add geal coat in the resin and mixture it can make colored transparent effect?
Fully blend pigment before adding hardener/catalyst to give more time in application, with high ambient temperature it can set rapidly.
you can use suppresant styrene to reduce the odor by 70%
do you add 2% MEK based on the total weight of the gelcoat and pigment, or just the gelcoat?
Get a graduated syringe for big batches or count drops per ounce. And those are ounces by volume not weight.
I hold the cup by the rim, ive had the heat from my hands kick it off to soon.
What if you add pigment to clear gel coat?

THX a lot for showing this... ;)
Hi. Do you or anyone know if there is something you can add to polyester resin to eliminate the odor/smell of polyester resin?
The odor you smell is the styrene in the resin. The styrene promotes the crosslinking of the resin. Without it, it would work. You can try epoxy resin. It doesn't have a strong smell like polyester.
thank you for information
One lot of pigment would have been enough and pigment the resin too to make sure.
What kind of pigment is it? What is it made of?
The pigment is compatible with polyester and epoxy resins.
