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.

• Bioluminescent beach or ocean-themed barrels turned on Pen Kits.

• Custom wood-and-glow-resin hybrid pen blanks, stoppers or scales poured by the maker — see inspiration in the Hybrid Blanks collection.

• Glow fishing-lure embeds or night-sky river-table accents that share the same resin workflow.

• Halloween or fantasy knife scales and bottle openers for turners.

How to Get the Strongest Glow (Mixing Tips)

1. Use clear or very lightly tinted resin so darker bases do not overpower the pastel coral-pink daytime color.

2. Mix the powder into Part A first for even distribution, then add Part B.

3. 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.

4. Charge finished blanks 5–15 minutes under sunlight, LED, UV or a phone flashlight.

5. Works in epoxy, urethane and UV resin systems.

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.

Pro Tip: For the absolute brightest glow on turned pens, stay within the table ratios, use clear resin, and give the blank a 30–60 second UV or sunlight charge right before a show-table demo.
