Add warmth to your resin creations with this Kamenskaya Doré alcohol-based ink, which is perfect for creating warm, luminous shades of yellow.
This liquid ink makes it easy to color the resin and vary the intensity of the shade depending on the amount used. Gold can be used with browns, oranges, or reds to create warm color palettes, but also with blue or green to create contrasts. For a Petri effect, be sure to combine this translucent ink with white paint specifically designed for this technique. Alternate between color and white to achieve the characteristic branching patterns throughout the thickness of the resin. Be sure to shake your bottles regularly and do not use a burner, as the ink contains alcohol.
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’s 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 create with this golden color?
Use it to make sun pendants, cabochons, amber-inspired jewelry, or small decorative objects. It can be combined with genuine metallic ink to add sporadic metallic shimmer to your design. To better understand the different ways to color your creations, check out 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.
