Common questions
Can I use too much pigment?
Yes — exceeding the manufacturer's maximum loading (typically around 10%) can weaken the cured resin and cause it not to cure properly. Always check the technical data sheet for the specific product's maximum.
When do I add the pigment?
Mix pigment into the resin first, until the colour is even, then add catalyst last. Adding pigment after catalyst risks uneven colour and an inconsistent cure.
Can you match a specific colour?
Yes — send us a sample or a reference code (RAL/Pantone) via the contact page and we'll match it.
