Please Note that WAVE-PRO was developed and tested with our proprietary artwork resins. Ideal for Ocean Resin Art   How to use: How to work with Wave Pro - the ideal tool to create the natural sea waves effect! These instructions imply the presence of a "sea" background made of epoxy resin on your board / canvas (it can be done as acrylic paints, and just filled it with transparent resin on top, or you can make it entirely from coloured resin). The hardened "sea" background made of epoxy resin makes it possible to remove non-produced waves in case of failure. We mix the epoxy resin in the proportions indicated in the instructions (the volume depends on the scale of the work). In a cup, mix the resin and Wave Pro additive using the ratio: 3-4 teaspoons of resin and 1/2 teaspoon of Wave Pro). It is important to mix thoroughly and quickly so that the powder dissolves and turns from a pale white to a rich white. Let the mixture rest for 50-70 minutes, occasionally stirring it in a cup. Your main goal is to get a very thick mixture after the indicated time, since this is the perfect consistency for it to be blown with a blow dryer. Mix the newly obtained resin, and use it to make a transparent layer on top of your "sea" background (the key point is that without a liquid transparent layer, the wave effect will not work!). Pour a thin stream of white thick mixture onto this transparent epoxy layer and, holding the blow dryer at a 30 ° angle, blow the wave. Linger only at the beginning of the process, because the resin is thick, and the blow dryer needs to "soften" it, but as you see that the wave has gone, then immediately move along the entire wavelength without stopping. Go through the burner and wait for the resin to completely cure. Once cured, you will have your real sea :) We recommend to use the product with our TRANSPARENT EPOXY RESIN (low viscosity) https://resin-pro.co.uk/product/transparent-epoxy-resin-320-gr/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0twAR1gDaE/?igshid=nvej64p9oa69

Creating Vibrant Effects with Pigments

Pigments are a versatile tool for adding vibrant and colorful effects to a wide array of surfaces and materials. Their ability to infuse color and vibrancy makes them indispensable in industries such as painting, plastics, cosmetics, and coatings. When aiming to achieve a personalized or unique color effect, incorporating pigments is crucial. They can be seamlessly blended with resins, silicones, or other materials to produce distinctive and captivating shades. Pigments provide the flexibility to tailor and aesthetically enrich numerous DIY projects, enabling the creation of visually striking artistic and decorative pieces.

Epoxy Resin Pigments

Epoxy resin pigments serve as colorants for dyeing epoxy resins, polyesters, polyurethanes, and other resins prevalent in the DIY and crafting sectors. These pigments are available in various forms, including powders or pastes, presenting a vast spectrum of colors to customize the resins. Engineered to seamlessly integrate into liquid resins, epoxy resin pigments ensure uniform color distribution. Adhering to recommended dosage guidelines is crucial to avoid undesired variations in the final outcome. Epoxy resin pigments are ideal for crafting artworks, jewelry, coatings, and other creative ventures that demand a personalized splash of color.

Coloring Techniques with Pigments

Coloring techniques involving pigments are instrumental in dyeing materials like epoxy resins and silicone, fostering the creation of decorative and personalized surfaces. By blending pigments with the liquid resin or silicone pre-curing, a consistent and enduring coloring effect is achieved. Various techniques are commonly employed, including:

• - Direct coloring: Adding pigments directly to the resin or silicone.
• - Layered coloring: Creating different colored layers for three-dimensional effects.
• - Transparent coloring: Utilizing transparent pigments for depth and translucency effects.
• - Marbled coloring: Mixing different shades for a marbled effect.

These techniques unlock boundless creative avenues in the realms of coatings and DIY projects.

Achieving Colorful Effects with Epoxy Resin

To achieve vibrant effects with epoxy resin, specific dyes tailored for transparent resin are recommended. Precisely adhering to the manufacturer's instructions for dye dosage ensures the desired color outcome. Additionally, incorporating powdered pigments or translucent dyes allows for the creation of nuanced shades and special effects. Prior to pouring the colored resin, ensuring clean surfaces devoid of trapped air bubbles is essential. Subsequently, allowing the resin to dry and cure in line with prescribed curing times is imperative. Experimenting with diverse color combinations and techniques paves the way for achieving distinctive and imaginative results.

"Ocean Art" Pigment Kit – Sea Wave Effect for Resin Art

Create your personalized Sea Wave Effect!  The ideal kit for creating cup coasters, geodes, “Ocean Art” style paintings and artistic coatings of all kinds, creating a natural sea wave effect. The “Ocean Art” KIT includes colours, pigments, additives and a non-toxic powder that reacts with wet epoxy resins by repelling itself away, thereby stimulating movement in concentric outward circles and waves. Creates cells and waves in resin art Safe & user-friendly Odourless Non-toxic & non-flammable Zero-VOC formula with no harsh chemical ingredients, solvents or alcohol-based ink Ideal for Ocean Resin Art The “Ocean Art” KIT includes: "Colorfun Deluxe" white colouring paste 30 ml "Colorfun Deluxe" Blue colouring paste 30 ml "Colorfun Deluxe" True Green colouring paste (Gradient green) 30 ml "Pebeo" Turquoise Semitransparent liquid pigment 45 ml "Magic Drops Small" liquid additive 15 ml How to use: Prepare about 300 gr [0,66 lb] of resin and, after mixing it well, divide it into 7 parts. Colour each part with the different pigments included in the kit (blue, opal green, white, turquoise, rich gold). Then use the “Pebeo” Turquoise pigment with two small glasses, and proceed as follows: pour a drop in the first glass and 2/3 in the second. In this way you will be able to perfectly recreate the sea-depth effect, giving an increasingly darker shade depending on the distance from the point where you will paint the coast. Then pour the darker resin in the farthest point from the "shore" (which you can create with a piece of wood or with sand) approaching the "coast" with increasingly transparent resin. In this way you will get a more gradual colouring that will give your creation the depth effect. Now apply the sand or wood, securing them with a layer of transparent resin. With the white pigment, draw thin lines in the shape of a wave which you will then “inflate” using a hairdryer or a straw. Then apply the golden pigment on the "sand" to give a final touch and shine. At this point, touch up your resin with “Magic Drops SMALL” by mixing it with the white pigment and applying it on the resin surface by pouring or dripping. Remove any residues or greasiness with alcohol or acetone, once the resin has catalysed. To get the best effect, we recommend to use “Art Pro” or “Art Pro Deluxe” epoxy resin (high viscosity).   https://youtu.be/ZbgKRgRfjaI
