Stadium Pen Blanks offers a complete range of mica powder for resin designed specifically for pen turners and resin casters. 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. Glow options such as Maneater Casting GLOW Powder - Aqua and Maneater Casting GLOW Powder - Blue charge quickly and deliver long-lasting after-dark visibility. 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. Link to our casting supplies collection for complementary molds, cups, and release agents that complete any project. With 54 mica products available, you can match any design vision from subtle pastels to electric neon glow. Explore the full lineup and discover the perfect mica powder for pen blanks today.

Abrasive Polishing Compund

Magic Juice

Magic Juice (MJ) is an ideal polishing compound for solid resin materials and plastics. It can also be used to polish finishes like CA (Cyanoacrylate), CC (Craft Coat), or similar products. For hybrid or "worthless" wood blanks, applying a sealing finish such as CA or Craft Coat before polishing with MJ will yield the best results.
