Add a pop of color to your creations with this Kamenskaya Apple Green alcohol ink, perfect for giving your resin a fresh, vibrant look.
Its vibrant color lets you create botanical, fruity, or highly graphic designs. The liquid consistency mixes easily with the resin and also allows you to move the pigments around with a toothpick to customize the patterns. To achieve a true Petri effect, use only special white Petri paint with this translucent shade: alternate between colored and white drops to allow the pigments to sink into the paint. Do not use a burner with these alcohol-based inks, and be sure to work on a flat, protected surface.
What’s the difference between standard alcohol-based ink and special Petri-effect alcohol-based ink?
Standard alcohol-based inks are used to color the resin and create marbled effects, color gradients, or swirling patterns. Kamenskaya special Petri-effect alcohol inks forresin, on the other hand, have been specially formulated with alcohol, pigments, and polymers to achieve the Petri Art technique. They allow you to create more intricate patterns, with colored filaments that sink into the resin and spread out deep within it.
Why use it with a special white Petri-effect ink?
The white ink plays an essential role in creating the Petri effect! Unlike conventional white ink, which is used simply for coloring, the special Petri white ink acts as a “sinker.” When applied after the drops of colored ink, it pulls them toward the bottom of the resin, creating branches, filaments, and stunning depth effects.
What can you do with this apple-green ink?
Pair it with yellow and orange for a vibrant palette, with turquoise for a fresh effect, or with black for a striking contrast. It’s perfect for earrings, cabochons, pendants, and decorative resin items. You can experiment with different designs using our resin molds and try various techniques with our guide on how to color resin.
Usage tips:
- Use a resin with a curing time of no more than 24 hours.
- Mix the resin thoroughly with the hardener to prevent defects in your finished product; stir slowly to avoid trapping excess air bubbles inside.
- Pour the resin in a thin stream to minimize air bubbles within the resin layer.
- Work on a flat surface and cover it with a protective material to keep it secure.
- You can begin working once the bubbles rise to the surface and you’ve removed them.
- After each drop of color, use white. The white color blends with the colored paint, creating effects within the resin.
- Use only special white paint designed for marbling, with luminous, translucent shades. Only this paint has a composition that allows you to create marbling effects with these inks.
- Shake the paint jars regularly before applying each drop to ensure the mixture is uniform.
- Do not let the paint fall near the silicone edging, as this prevents it from sinking into the resin.
- If the resin is too runny, wait 20 to 30 minutes before starting to work with the paint. This will increase the viscosity, and the paint won’t sink too far to the bottom. The more runny the resin is, the more likely the paint is to sink to the bottom.
Beginners can start by working with a single color and observing how it spreads. Experienced creators can layer multiple shades, work with Petri patterns, or create marbled effects. Our tutorials and technical sheets provide tips and tricks for measuring out your inks and achieving a uniform finish.
