Liquid Pigments 3D Effect DC

What it can do and where it excels

• 3D blending and veils – significant depth and dynamics in a clear base.
• Shallow moulds – coasters, cake stands, smaller decorations (the effect is most visible).
• Paintings & GEODE – contrasting stripes, sharp lines and full covering areas.

Dosage and mixing

• Start with 1–3% of the weight of the mixed resin; add drop by drop.
• For full coverage, you can go higher, but generally do not exceed 5%.
• Mix the pigment into the freshly mixed resin (A+B) slowly to create as few bubbles as possible.

Procedure for 3D effects

1. Prepare a clear or tinted base (a darker base will enhance the contrast).
2. Mix 1–2 shades of DC pigment into separate cups.
3. Pour thin lines or 'puddles' of pigmented resin and let them blend naturally.
4. Gently refine the effect with a hot air gun (short pulses, from a short distance) or a spatula.

Tips for the best result

• Work within the mixture's working time – neither too runny nor already 'set'.
• For sharp lines, let the mixture thicken briefly; for subtle blends, pour immediately after mixing.
• Combine opaque and clear zones for greater depth; layer thin coats.
