Add some warmth to your DIY projects with this Kamenskaya Mustard alcohol ink, which is perfect for giving resin a deep, translucent yellow hue.
Its fluid texture allows for quick incorporation into the resin and makes it easier to create more free-form patterns once the mixture is poured. This mustard shade can be used on its own or combined with brown, orange, red, or green to create a warm color palette. To achieve Petri effects, always combine translucent colors with a white paint specially formulated for this technique. Adding a drop of white after each drop of color allows the ink to flow downward through the resin and create the characteristic branching patterns. Like all alcohol-based inks, it should not be used near a burner.
What is 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 Mustard ink?
Create graphic earrings, cabochons, or decorative items in fall colors. It can also be used to create marbled effects in geometric or organic molds. Check out our resin molds to experiment with different shapes, or take inspiration from this vintage epoxy resin candy jar to design larger decorative projects.
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’s thickness.
- 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 with a few drops to observe how the color spreads, while experienced creators can build up layers and experiment with color combinations. Our tutorials and technical guides provide tips and tricks for preparing the resin, reducing bubbles, and achieving clean effects.
