Quick Reference
| Effect Type | Standard Paint Ratio | Epoxy Resin Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Glow in the Dark Powder | 25% – 35% | 37.5% – 52.5% |
| UV Reactive Pigments | 5% – 15% | 7.5% – 22.5% |
| Photochromic Pigments | 5% – 15% | 7.5% – 22.5% |
| Thermochromic Pigments | 5% – 15% | 7.5% – 22.5% |
Tip: Always mix the pigment into the epoxy resin first, never into the hardener. This provides better dispersion and a more consistent finish.
What Is the Difference Between Paint and Ink?
Paints are thicker coatings designed for brushing, spraying, rolling, or surface coverage applications. Inks are thinner liquid mediums commonly used for printing, stamp pads, fountain pens, markers, and dye-based coloring applications. Paints provide stronger surface coverage, while inks are optimized for absorption and fine-detail transfer.
Can glow powder be mixed into paint?
Yes. Glow powder works best in clear or translucent paint bases that allow light to pass through and properly charge the pigment.
Can water-based glow paints be shipped internationally?
Most water-based glow paints can be shipped internationally. However, some countries and carriers may impose restrictions on liquid products. Shipping availability depends on the product formulation, quantity ordered, and destination.
If a particular product cannot be shipped to your location, we will contact you before processing the order.
Are shipping restrictions the same for every country?
No. Shipping regulations vary between countries and carriers. A product that can be shipped to one destination may be restricted or prohibited in another. Availability is determined based on the latest carrier and customs requirements at the time of shipment.
Why does shipping cost vary for paint products?
Paint products are heavier than powders and may require special packaging. Certain paint formulations may also require Dangerous Goods handling, which can result in higher shipping costs than standard products.
