Padico Cyan Resin Colorant - 0.3 fl oz (10 ml) UV Resin Dye - Gemstone Droplets

The Padico 403040 Resin Colorant in Cyan (Gemstone Droplets) is a liquid UV resin dye designed for tinting UV resin, liquid resin, and LED resin. This 0.3 fl oz (10 ml) bottle provides a concentrated cyan colorant for small to medium projects. Made in Japan, it's a straightforward way to add transparent blue coloring to resin crafts.

What Makes This Colorant Different?

Unlike many resin dyes that require mixing multiple drops to achieve a desired shade, the Padico Gemstone Droplets series offers a pre-formulated liquid that blends easily. The cyan hue is vibrant yet translucent, mimicking the look of natural gemstones when cured. Because it's a liquid, it disperses evenly without clumping or streaking.

Compatible Resin Types

This colorant works with three common resin systems: UV resin (cured under UV light), liquid resin (standard two-part epoxy), and LED resin (cured with LED lamps). It's not recommended for other resin types unless the manufacturer states compatibility. Always test on a small sample first to verify the color and cure time.

How to Use This Colorant

The application is simple: add a small amount to your resin and stir thoroughly. Because the bottle is only 0.3 fl oz, it's best suited for small batches or accent colors. Start with one or two drops per ounce of resin, then adjust for intensity. The cyan color remains stable during curing and does not yellow over time.

Can This Dye Be Used with Standard Epoxy Resin?

According to the product details, this colorant is compatible with UV resin, liquid resin, and LED resin. It is not specified for standard epoxy resin. If you're using a different resin type, check the manufacturer's guidelines before adding this dye. For best results, stick to the listed compatible materials.

What Is the Volume of the Bottle?

The bottle contains exactly 0.3 fluid ounces (10 milliliters). That's enough to color several small resin pieces or one medium pendant. Because the dye is concentrated, a little goes a long way.
