Review on 🌊 Dazzling Dark Ocean Blue Mica Powder Pigment (50g) for DIY Arts, Crafts, and More! by Doris Tran

Works great. Small things have a big impact. I poured epoxy in layers over the course of 1 day. My table is 3 inches thick. The lazy hole I filled in only lasted 4 fills. Each resin mix I made was about 1 3/4 cups of resin, I added 2 teaspoons of colored powder. 2 teaspoons was probably more than I needed, but I did. But each rot is a different size, so your project may need less or more. I poured colored resin all over the rotten hole. I could have made my first fill with clear resin without adding color, but I didn't plan on having the extra powder lying around long before my next project. I still have plenty of powder left over after making 2 desktop projects that rotted through the 3 inch cut. My next big project is a block high cedar slab. I will buy more of this powder for it. I poured my blue resin from top to bottom giving it a swirling appearance. I poured my second table from the bottom down, I turned my table over and poured it in dust. That way, after sanding and sealing, the blue color doesn't swirl out. The photo shows the difference in the filling technique. I personally like that the swirl looks better, although both tables looked great. I watched a few videos on You Tube to learn how to pour resin on a table. But there were some things I learned myself in the process. These countertops are my first casting jobs. They are both black walnut and I bought them on EBay. So if you plan to create a project, fill it out in layers. Wait 4 hours or more depending on whether your previous filling felt sticky. If it's sticky, do another coat no matter how many hours have passed. You want the area you are working in to be 75 degrees or more for casting projects. The resin will not cure properly if it is too cold. If it is very warm, the resin will harden faster. So watch the video online. Make a trial piece that could be a tray just to hone your technique. But there are tons of videos out there that will teach you how to do it. But look at my photos and see if you like the swirled look or the non-swirled look. It was pure coincidence, I thought if I poured down from the bottom of the table I would have swirls, but that didn't happen. The reverse technique made my blue resin look dull and muted. I was unhappy with this but my husband sanded the tables in various grit on 1500 grit sandpaper and the blue resin was no longer muted and looked beautiful. We covered our tables with Rubio Monocoat Pure paint. This really brought out the color of the black walnut and also made the blue resin shinier. Rubio Monocoat was the final step to our tables. I hope my review helps at least 1 person. I am not being paid to leave a review. Sorry for any misspelled words.
