In order to use this dye, you must have Though I have used West System Epoxy for a long time, I have never used it.
I don't agree!
That is something I am not sure how much of would be required. When I use it on resin I only use 3 drops of it, and it makes the resin really Three seems like a good idea to me You can start with 5 drops and work your way up
You can achieve that level of black by using enough pigment.

Epoxy can be easily made black by adding a little bit of liquid. Mixing epoxy in a bucket using a bottle required a 5 gallon container. Even if I had used less, I'm certain that the results would have been the same. If you do this, then make sure you cut down the tip far enough to let the dye In this black dye, there is a great deal of room for error. The next time I buy, I will definitely do it The epoxy set I used did not change.
Good results are obtained from using this dye. With this resin, epoxy tables can be made in a wide range of shades from a dark tint to a pitch black finish. In this case, it's the consistency of the dye that's causing the problem. There is a lot of thickness to it. To squeeze out drops, you have to use a lot of force. As I was working with the dye, I was squeezing out 7 drops for my project. The nozzle on the dropper popped off and dripped the entire contents In the process of ruining the project, I came to realize that I have no dye left. As I tested it, it worked well for the few drops I tried.
Here is the dye you need if you need a good quality, rich black dye for your resin. Because it is difficult to open, it earned 4 stars from me! It was a simple matter of just snipping off the top, except that once I had done so I could not shut the bottle back up. It also made a huge mess every time I tried to use it because I made the hole too big. In the end, I bought some tiny bottles and put the dye in them after waiting for three months. Please note
There is an important side note to mention. You can get a lot out of a little. I've put too much dye into the resin in a couple of resin projects, which has caused the projects to fail.
As a test I placed a small drop of 1/4 cup of deep pour epoxy in a silicone mold after I added a tiny drop of epoxy to the project I was doing. Despite the color being a bit darker than I wanted (see unfinished second photo), it worked perfectly for my pour. The tiny drop feels like too much, even when I'm only putting a little bit I also liked that it was easy to clean off my hands with just soap and water, and that it did not.
We've reached the end! The first few times I tried it, I was hesitant, but then I had to own the complete range! As you can see, the Alumilite dye (ocean blue) was used alone and then as a base for a couple of other colored micas to create a stunning effect!

Thanks to it, you can be more productive. A high-quality product The pigment in these dyes is of high quality and it is a must-have if you work with Resin or Abstract Art. If you're looking to achieve the ocean wave effect, these dyes are the right choice.
It was a pleasure to receive this product though I haven't used it yet, I did get a full bottle as opposed to the other ones I received that were a little over halfway through.
The blue colour I achieved for my Star Trek model was achieved using this product. I was satisfied with the result. Keep an eye out, though! Even a little bit of effort can make a big difference. In small batches, there is no need for more than a small drop.
