Maneater Casting Mica Powder for Resin - Pearl Black

Maneater Casting Mica – Pearl Black (1 oz)

This deep black Mica Powder delivers strong pearl sheen for oil-slick and smoke effects in clear resin. Makers turn it into striking HDPE Molds projects and pen blanks where the metallic pearl catches light beautifully.

Why makers love it

Pen turners and resin casters choose pearl black mica powder for resin because it suspends evenly and builds rich depth without overpowering the pour. The fine particles create smooth pearlescence that shifts from jet black to subtle oil-slick highlights. It mixes cleanly into Alumilite, JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin resins for consistent results every time. The 1 oz wide-mouth jar gives plenty of powder for multiple small castings while keeping the product fresh.

Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best Results

Start with small test batches when working with pearl black mica powder for resin so you can dial in the exact look you want. Clear or lightly tinted resin shows the pearlescence best; darker bases mute the metallic flash. Always mix the powder into Part A first before adding Part B to avoid clumping. Stir slowly to reduce bubbles and let the mixture rest a minute so any air can escape.

Begin conservative with roughly one gram per eight ounces of resin and increase only if you need stronger opacity. Layer this powder with complementary shades from the Mica Powder collection or pair it with Maneater Glow powders for added dimension in river tables and jewelry.

Pro Tip: For the richest shimmer, use clear resin, moderate load, and finish the cured piece with a gloss polish. This pearl black mica powder for resin is casting pigment only — NOT for stabilizing resin or wood.

Project ideas

Swirl this powder into acrylic or epoxy pen blanks for dramatic black-and-silver patterns. Use it as accent veins in river tables or to create smoky jewelry pieces that catch the light. It also shines in small castings where you want subtle metallic depth without glow or color-shift effects.
