Review on Versatile Mica Powder: 25 Natural Colours for Epoxy Resin, Lipgloss, Soap Making and More! by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If containers are a stumbling block compared to pouches, this product is definitely GREAT!

I'm an avid knitter and had a bunch of my old aluminum straight hooks lying around when I was relearning the basics. I've seen some custom resin hooks and now I even have a FURLS set, but I wanted to give this a try. I'm sure if you're a creative person you understand that once you have an idea you want to try, the genie can't be put back in the bottle. So I dived headlong into buying all sorts of shapes that I thought might offer a more comfortable and ergonomic grip. But I had no intention of investing money and time into learning a new craft/hobby without guaranteeing that my end result would be just as beautiful. as much as possible. Enter this mica powder. It's handy for beginners! This is BOLD! It *shimmers!* It takes very little to produce stunning results! That. in general, a hell of a lot of small plastic bags. :( Oooo. I understand how someone who has a sore arm, has motor problems or just doesn't like the hassle could go for a brand with little containers of screws, but personally I don't like them anymore so these bags just help very cautious and made a decision that on days when my hands are shaking or sore I would not use them at all.Also let's be honest mica pigments are very fine powders.Open any container you personally wrestle it will go anywhere and they're ALL made out of plastic bags and this blue was literally one of the first 10 colors!) and that the color stayed true to that combination through EVERY step of mixing, pouring, mixing and curing. The photo does not match the aluminum hook I used. Haven't tried it in my epoxy yet but have used a UV-C resin. Beautiful and no problem can be attributed to pigment powder. This product gets me playing around with DIY candles, cosmetics and soaps because I'm curious to see if it works as well in other mediums as it does in UV resin! I won't because Big Daddy Biden's stimulus money can't pay for my high flights forever. but I am very tempted! In my opinion, you've done a pretty good job when you create a product that will naturally encourage your customer to use it more and more. Plus it's a great name. I couldn't resist at least trying something called Techarooz. ;) :)
