Maneater Pink-Orange Glow in the Dark Mica Powder for Pen Blanks (0.5 oz)
Pen turners seeking vibrant color-shifting effects turn to Maneater Pink-Orange glow in the dark mica powder for pen blanks. In daylight this pigment delivers a lively coral-pink shimmer that transforms into a warm orange glow once charged. The result is eye-catching tropical sunset or coral reef themes on finished turned barrels that stand out at shows or under shop lights.
Why Pen Turners Choose Maneater Pink-Orange GLOW
Pen-blank ready intensity — One of the brightest pink-to-orange color-shifting options for custom Pen Blanks that glow after a quick charge.
Alumilite 1:30 ratio — Start at 1 g powder per 30 g resin by weight for even distribution and strong glow on thin-wall barrels.
Visible glow duration — Brightest for the first 30–60 minutes after charging, then softens gradually for realistic shop demos.
Super-fine mica base — Mixes smoothly in clear resins without clumping or settling, ideal for layered Hybrid Blanks.
0.5 oz jar (~14 g) — Enough powder for multiple pen-blank pours at the recommended starting ratio.
Wide-mouth jar — Makes precise scooping easy and mess-free during measuring.
Resin compatibility — Works with Alumilite, JB Royal Original, JB Royal Thin and most clear epoxies.
Perfect For
Tropical sunset or coral reef Pen Blanks paired with teal or silver micas.

How to Get the Strongest Glow (Mixing Tips)
Use clear or very lightly tinted resin so darker bases do not overpower the pastel coral-pink daytime color.
Mix the powder into Part A first for even distribution, then add Part B.
Pen-blank starting dose follows the ratio table below: Alumilite at 1:30 g:g (≈ 1 g powder per 1 oz resin by weight). Increase gradually for stronger color or glow.
Charge finished blanks 5–15 minutes under sunlight, LED, UV or a phone flashlight.

Important: This is a casting pigment and is NOT designed for stabilizing resin/wood.
Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best Results
Pen turners achieve the brightest results by keeping resin clear and following the authoritative ratios below. Always stir slowly to avoid bubbles and use a pressure pot when casting larger pieces.
Start with the Alumilite 1:30 ratio for most Pen Blanks. Epoxy users begin at the lighter 1:10 end and adjust for desired opacity. Charge the finished blank 30–60 seconds under direct sun or strong UV for maximum initial brightness.

Why Makers Love Radiant Blue Mica Powder for Resin
This fine pearlescent pigment mixes smoothly into Alumilite, JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin resins without clumping.

Mica Powder for Resin in Deep Violet
This deep violet mica powder for resin produces a rich royal purple tone with subtle blue undertones. Pen turners and resin casters choose it for fantasy, galaxy, and bold accent projects where metallic shimmer stands out in clear casts.
Why Makers Love Deep Violet Mica Powder for Epoxy
The fine particle size suspends evenly in Alumilite, JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin resins. It offers strong color payoff without overpowering transparency, letting you control opacity from translucent sparkle to solid metallic coverage.

Maneater Violet-Gold Color Shifting Mica Powder for Resin
This color-shifting mica delivers a dramatic violet-to-gold flip that catches light from every angle. Pen turners and resin casters reach for it when they want royal fantasy depth in clear casts. The fine particles stay suspended beautifully in Alumilite, JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin giving finished blanks a living jewel tone that changes with viewing angle and light source.
Why Makers Choose This Violet-Gold Shift
The chameleon effect appears strongest in daylight and intensifies under direct light once the piece is polished. Because the shift is angle-dependent rather than glow-based, the color stays vivid on the finished surface. Makers love pairing it with Thin resin for thin-walled castings or resin casting supplies when building layered blanks. The 0.5 oz jar size is perfect for testing before committing to larger Mica Powder orders.
Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best Results
Start with clear or very lightly tinted resin so the violet-gold flip remains visible. Mix the powder into Part A first, then add Part B and stir slowly to avoid bubbles. A glossy final polish makes the angle shift pop on every turn of the blank.
Resin Type |
Starting Ratio (Powder : Resin) |
Notes for Preserving the Color Shift |
|---|---|---|
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: Use roughly 1 g per 8 oz of resin to begin, then increase gradually. Always test a small pour first so the violet-gold transition stays crisp rather than muddy.
Project Ideas for Violet-Gold Mica
Dragon-scale pens, fantasy wand blanks, statement rings, and show-piece bottle stoppers all benefit from this royal color flip. The shift pairs especially well with dark wood or black resin accents for high contrast. HDPE Molds produce clean edges that let the finished surface display the full chameleon range.

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. Link to our casting supplies collection for complementary molds, cups, and release agents that complete any project.
