Orange-Red Glow in the Dark Mica Powder for Resin – Maneater Series (0.5 oz)

Pen turners casting their own Pen Blanks reach for Maneater Orange-Red when they want a fiery daytime shimmer that erupts into a bright glow once charged. This Maneater Glow pigment pairs rich orange-red mica with photoluminescent particles so your finished barrel shows intense color under shop lights and a vivid glow when the lights drop.

Why Pen Turners Choose Maneater Orange-Red GLOW

Pen-blank casting focus: Designed for Sierra, Slimline, and custom Pen Blanks that makers turn and sell at shows.
Realistic glow performance: After a 5–15 minute charge the brightest glow lasts 30–60 minutes, then softens gradually—perfect for demo tables and evening displays.
Alumilite 1:30 starting ratio: Begin with 1 g powder per 1 oz resin by weight; increase slightly for stronger color and glow on thin-wall pens.
Ultra-fine 10-60 micron particles: Disperses evenly in clear resin with minimal stirring, keeping your cast blank free of streaks or clumps.
0.5 oz jar (14 g): Enough powder for roughly fourteen standard pen-blank pours at the Alumilite 1:30 ratio.
Wide-mouth jar: Makes precise scooping simple so you measure exactly what each pour needs.
Non-toxic and skin-safe: CPSIA compliant, vegan, and cruelty-free for worry-free handling during turning and finishing.
Compatible with: Alumilite, JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin

How to Get the Strongest Glow (Mixing Tips)

Use crystal-clear or very lightly tinted resin so the orange-red color and glow stay vivid.
Mix the powder into Part A first, then add Part B and stir slowly to avoid bubbles.
Start at the Alumilite 1:30 g:g ratio—approximately 1 g powder per 1 oz resin by weight—and increase gradually for stronger effect.
Charge finished blanks 5–15 minutes under sunlight, LED, or UV light before showing the glow.
Important: casting pigment only—NOT for stabilizing resin/wood.

Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best Results

Clear resin gives the brightest results with Maneater Orange-Red. Always follow the table below for starting doses and adjust upward only after testing a small pour. Stir gently and use a pressure pot when casting epoxy or polyester to keep blanks bubble-free.

Resin Type	Starting Ratio (Powder : Resin)	Notes for Maximum Glow & Clarity
Alumilite Urethane (Clear or Slow)	1:30 Grams : Grams	Fast cure helps keep powder suspended – minimal sinking.
Epoxy (JB Royal, Liquid Diamonds, etc.)	1:10 Grams : Liquid Ounces	Start light for translucent glow; go heavier for opaque intensity. Stir slowly to avoid bubbles.
Polyester Resin	1:10 Grams : Liquid Ounces	Great color payoff; pressure pot recommended for bubble-free casts.

Pro Tip: The clearest resin plus the moderate pigment load shown in the table, followed by a 30–60 second UV or sunlight charge, produces the brightest glow on a finished turned pen.

Q. How long does the glow really last?

A. After a good charge (direct sun, UV flashlight, or strong LED for 5–15 minutes), the brightest glow on a finished pen blank is usually in the first 30–60 minutes. It then softens gradually — great for show tables and shop demos, not multi-hour competitor-style hype.

Q. Will the powder sink in epoxy/resin?

A. Thanks to the ultra-fine particle size, it suspends very well with minimal stirring or thickener.Epoxy Resin users rarely see sinking due to faster gel time.

Q. Is it Safe? Food Contact?

A. Non-toxic and skin-safe once cured in resin, but like all pigments -- not food-grade or edible. Great for pens, handles, and decorative items.

Q. does it work under UV/Blacklight too?

A. Yes! It fluoresces a beautiful aqua under 365nm UV for an instant party effect.

Q. How do I charge it fastest?

A. Direct sunlight or a UV flashlight/blacklight for 5-10 minutes gives the strongest charge.

Q. Can I layer colors?

A. Absolutely -- try a base of regular Mica Powder in the first pour, then add Maneater Glow in the second for depth.

Q. Can I use it with stabilizing resin?

A. No -- Maneater Glow powders are formulated for casting only, not Cactus Juice or similar stabilizing resins.

Q. Will it bleed or fade?

A. No color bleed and UV-stable for years. Maneater Glow powders

Q. Can I mix Colors?

A. Absolutely -- layer or swirl with our other Maneater Glow colors for custom effects.

Q. Is the glow bright enough to see easily?

A. It's a gentle glow (not blinding neon) -- exactly what you want for your projects and other aesthetics.

Q. How much powder do I need per ounce of resin?

A. Start with 1-2 grams per 1oz of epoxy for a strong glow and rich color. You can add up to 3-4 g for an even more intense effect.

Q. Will it work in a clear resin or does it need a white base?

A. It works beautifully in clear resin. A white or light base can make the glow slightly brighter, but its not required.
