    If you notice the purple doesn’t look anything like the original paint swatch, it looks more blue. If you want to get closer to the paint swatch color you may have to add a little red paint to that purple to bring out the red tones when set.
    I’d love to see Resin Ace try that experiment to see if the color gets any closer to the paint swatch.

      If you're referring to the surface finish of resin then that is determined by your mould only. So if you want to create a resin piece with a matte finish then you need a matte mould. If your mould is glossy then your resin cast will always be glossy, regardless of the pigments you add to it.

      @@cherry-kun9783 Silicone will create an exact replica of your model. So if you model something glossy (like a glass cube) your mould will then produce glossy resin cubes. What you would need to do to create a matte cube is to paint the cube in matte paint before you mould it, then it would produce matte resin cubes. I actually use matte acrylic spray to paint my models if I want my moulds of them to have a matte finish.

      Hi, when I made this video it did not occur to me that not all acrylic paints may be suitable for the process. The one I use is quite low viscosity and very creamy in texture and blends with resin really well. Some thicker brands of acrylic paint, particularly those designed for textured paint effects, may not blend as nicely.

    • @resinAce
      @resinAce 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, I coat my 3D prints with UV resin, which can then be cured instantly under a UV lamp. I warm it up in hot water to make it more fluid, then paint it on with a small paint brush. You need to keep the piece moving because the resin will naturally flow downwards otherwise. Once the piece has a nice even coat I give it a very quick once over with a lighter flame to pop any surface bubbles, then hit it with the UV lamp to set the resin instantly. With ordinary epoxy resin you will always have problems getting the resin to remain on vertical surfaces, because it just wants to run down. The surface tension of the resin will also make it want to pull into little beads, but this effect will be lessened on a surface that it can get a better grip on. So coating with acrylic spray may give you a better result (particularly if it's matt finish) but it could still get thin on the vertical surfaces if it runs. Another way to keep the coating even is to keep the piece turning on a gadget like a tumbler turner until it's cured, like the one in this video th-cam.com/video/SonBb5oaCRE/w-d-xo.html

    I have 2 questions,
    1.if I use a much less amount of paint will it turn our transparent/translucent?
    2. Does watercolor work too? The solid cakey one or the paste like one either

      Hi, acrylic paint generally does not make a great translucent pigment, even a small amount will make your resin opaque. Water-based pigments can only be used in very tiny quantities in epoxy resin, as water is generally a contaminant of resin. For that reason, water-based epoxy pigments are usually very highly concentrated, so you only need one drop to achieve a good depth of colour. I feel you would need to add too much water-based paint to be effective. All you can do is try it and see what happens.

    I have an axe head I need to fill a gap in the top of the handle to the top of the eye with epoxy, this will help, but I'll have to get some 2 part epoxy and use that, sadly

      You need to use translucent resin pigment such as the DecorRom pigments that are linked in some of my newer videos

      You need to use liquid pigments such as the DecorRom resin colorants. I have a video on them.

    does using these acrylics change the resin curing in anyway? if you add to much does it never cure at all? thax

    • @resinAce
      @resinAce 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, if you check the datasheet for your resin it will tell you how much pigment you can add, usually as a percentage by weight. In my case it's 4%, so as long as I don't exceed 4% it cures just fine. I have actually added as much as 10% before and it still cured.
