Maneater Black Casting Mica Powder (1 oz)
This true jet-black Mica Powder delivers a strong silver-metallic sheen that creates dramatic depth in resin projects. Pen turners and casters reach for it when building galaxy pours, smoke effects, and layered blanks that need serious opacity with reflective highlights.
Why Makers Love Maneater Black
The fine particle size suspends evenly in clear casting resins, giving consistent color from top to bottom. Use it straight for bold metallic black or layer with translucent tints for custom depth.

Always mix the powder into Part A first, then add Part B to reduce bubbles. Begin conservatively at roughly one gram per eight ounces of resin and increase until you reach the desired opacity. Slow stirring prevents air entrapment and keeps the metallic flakes oriented for maximum reflection. For extra dimension, swirl in complementary micas from the Color-shifting mica or Maneater Glow collections. Layer with sapphire or glow siblings for unique effects.

Maneater Casting Mica – Pearl White (1 oz)
Bright white with strong pearl sparkle creates the classic ghost/pearl effect in clear casts. This fine pearlescent mica powder for resin delivers soft luminous highlights that read like fresh snow or drifting clouds.
Why makers love it
Pen turners and resin casters reach for this Mica Powder when they need clean white pearlescence without overpowering other colors. It mixes smoothly into Alumilite, JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin resins and stays suspended for even shimmer. Use it in Resin casting supplies projects where you want depth and soft metallic reflection rather than flat pigment.
Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best Results
Start with a light load to preserve translucency and let the pearl effect shine through. Clear or lightly tinted resin shows pearlescence best; dark bases mute the shimmer. Mix powder into Part A first, then add Part B and stir slowly to avoid bubbles.
Begin around 1 g per 8 oz of resin and increase only if you need stronger opacity. Layer with complementary micas from the Color-shifting mica or Maneater Glow collections for swirl effects. This pigment is for casting only and is not intended for stabilizing resin or wood.

Maneater Blue-Red Color Shift Mica Powder for Resin
This color-shifting mica delivers a dramatic flip from deep blue to bright red as light and viewing angle change. Pen turners and resin casters reach for it when they want eye-catching depth in clear casts without glow additives.
Why makers love color-shifting mica
The fine particles stay suspended in clear casting resins, producing a true chameleon effect that intensifies on a glossy finished surface. Use it in Alumilite, JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin resin systems for pen blanks, jewelry, or show-piece castings. The shift is strongest in daylight and under directional lighting once the piece is polished.
Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best Results
Start with a clear or very lightly tinted base so the angle-dependent flip remains visible. Mix the powder into Part A first, then add Part B and stir slowly to limit bubbles. A glossy topcoat after curing makes the color change pop.

Maneater Color Shifting Mica Powder for Resin – Yellow-Green
This color-shifting mica shifts from golden yellow to vibrant lime green depending on angle and light. Makers use it in clear casts to create citrus or alien effects in pen blanks and jewelry.
Why Makers Love This Color Shifting Mica Powder
The fine particles suspend evenly in Alumilite and other resins, delivering a visible flip on glossy finished surfaces. Use it with JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin epoxy for translucent depth that highlights the yellow-green transition. Mica Powder like this works best in clear or lightly tinted bases.
Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best Results
Start with small amounts to keep the color shift visible. Mix powder into Part A first, then add Part B. Clear resin bases preserve the angle-dependent flip best. Polish the final cast to a high gloss so light catches the yellow-to-green change.
Use Resin casting supplies and HDPE Molds for clean results. Avoid dark tints that mute the effect.

Maneater Green-Blue Color Shifting Mica Powder for Resin
This color-shifting mica produces a striking chameleon effect that transitions from rich emerald to deep sapphire as light and viewing angle change. Pen turners and resin casters select it for peacock, mermaid, and ocean-themed custom blanks and jewelry.
Why Makers Love This Color Shifting Mica
Fine particles suspend evenly in clear casting resins and deliver a visible hue flip on glossy finished surfaces. It works with Alumilite, Original, and Thin resins for translucent depth. The shift is strongest in daylight and under directional lighting once polished.
How to Use Mica Powder in Resin
Start with clear or lightly tinted bases to preserve the angle-dependent color change. Dark pigments flatten the flip. Always mix the powder into Part A first, then add Part B and stir slowly to reduce bubbles. A glossy final polish maximizes the visible shift.
Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best Results
Begin conservatively at roughly one gram per eight ounces of resin and increase only if more saturation is needed without losing the chameleon effect.

| Alumilite Urethane (Clear or Slow) | 1:30 Grams : Grams | Fast cure helps keep powder suspended; clear or lightly tinted base shows shift best. |
| Epoxy (JB Royal, Liquid Diamonds, etc.) | 1:10 Grams : Liquid Ounces | Start light for translucent depth; heavier loads can mute the flip effect. Stir slowly to avoid bubbles. |
| Polyester Resin | 1:10 Grams : Liquid Ounces | Strong color payoff; pressure pot recommended for bubble-free casts that show angle shift. |
Pro Tip: For the strongest green-to-blue transition, cast in clear resin, keep pigment loads moderate, and finish with a high-gloss polish so the color flip is obvious from every viewing angle.
How Much Mica Powder Per Ounce
Use approximately 0.125 grams per ounce of resin as a starting point. Increase gradually while testing the shift on a small sample to maintain the dramatic emerald-to-sapphire flip.

Whether you need mica powder in resin for vibrant color, metallic sheen, or dramatic glow effects, this collection delivers consistent, high-quality pigments that mix cleanly into epoxy systems.
Types of Mica Powders in This Collection
Our selection includes regular metallic mica, pearlescent finishes, color-shifting pigments, and intense glow-in-the-dark powders.

Regular metallic powders like Maneater Black Casting Mica Powder provide deep color and shimmer without glow properties. Color-shifting varieties add dynamic visual interest under changing light.
How to Use Mica Powder in Resin
Successful results start with proper dispersion. Add mica powder for epoxy resin gradually while mixing to avoid clumps. Most makers find that 1–3% pigment by weight of resin produces rich, opaque color while preserving clarity in thinner layers. For translucent effects, start with 0.5% and adjust upward. When working with mica powder for epoxy, always disperse the powder first in a small amount of resin before adding the remainder of your mix.
How Much Mica Powder per Ounce
When measuring how much mica powder per ounce of resin, begin with 0.1–0.3 grams per ounce for light tints. Increase to 0.5–1 gram per ounce for bold, saturated results. Always test small batches first, especially when combining multiple colors or glow powders. Wide-mouth jars in our lineup make scooping and weighing simple and accurate. Makers also reference how much mica powder per gallon when scaling up for larger river tables or stadium blanks.
Mica Powder for Epoxy Resin Projects
Pen turners rely on mica powder for epoxy resin to create stadium seat blanks, river tables, and custom knife scales. Glow powders pair beautifully with clear resins such as Alumilite and JB Royal. For layered or galaxy effects, combine Maneater Casting GLOW Powder - Orange-Red with Maneater Casting GLOW Powder - Orange-Yellow and standard metallic powders. Color-shifting options add unexpected depth when viewed from different angles. Explore additional glow choices like Maneater Casting GLOW Powder - Blue Sky for soft pastel effects in your next pour.
Practical Tips for Consistent Results
Store powders in a cool, dry location to prevent moisture absorption. Mix thoroughly but gently to maintain fine particle suspension. When casting large blanks, divide your resin into smaller measured batches so you can control color intensity precisely.
