Mica Powder for Resin and Epoxy Applications

Stadium Pen Blanks offers a curated selection of mica powder for resin, epoxy resin, and pen blank casting. These powders deliver consistent color, shimmer, and metallic effects that resin turners rely on for professional results.

Differences Across Our Mica Collection

Our range includes standard pearlescent mica, metallic mica, and specialized casting formulas. Maneater Casting Mica - Sapphire provides intense color in wide-mouth jars. Caster's Choice Mica Powder .75 oz offers 34 shades plus macro pearl for everyday use. Complementary dyes and pigments such as Alumilite Dye, Divine Pigments, and Divine Pigments Liquid Metal expand creative options.

How to Use Mica Powder in Resin

Start with a small test batch. Add mica gradually while mixing to avoid clumping. Most casters begin with 1–2 teaspoons per 8 ounces of mixed resin and adjust for opacity. Stir thoroughly until the powder is fully dispersed before pouring.

How Much Mica Powder Per Ounce

A typical starting ratio is 0.5–1 gram of mica per ounce of resin. For deeper color or metallic effects, increase to 2 grams per ounce. Always measure by weight rather than volume because particle density varies between colors. Overloading can affect cure times, so test small amounts first.

Practical Tips for Pen Turners

Pair these powders with clear epoxy systems for translucent blanks or opaque resins for solid color. Combine with dyes for layered effects. Our powders mix cleanly with JB Royal resins, Alumilite urethanes, and polyester casting resins. Visit our resin collection for compatible epoxies.

Storage and Handling

Keep jars tightly sealed in a cool, dry location. Avoid moisture contamination to maintain free-flowing powder. Each jar is sold by net weight for consistent results across batches.

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.
