Description
Cell-Base is a polar white pigment that can be used as a regular pigment in resin to add color. It is also used as a base color for other resins to activate and create cells. Paste pigments performed better than acrylic paints, inks, or powder pigments in our testing, but metallic pigments did not work well. Cell-Base can be used on most surfaces, including canvas, wood, MDF, glass, perspex, concrete, and metal.
Cell-Base will add to the range of effects you can create with resin as
it self activates and creates amazing cells
Cell-Base is used just like a regular pigment which you mix into your
resin, the only difference is that you use it as your base colour. For
best results you need to work at a steady pace with no pauses between
steps, once you pour your base layer the pigment starts losing
reactivity so don't wait too long before adding your top colours. As
soon as your top colours are down it's time to swipe! We found that a
thin top layer and a light touch to the swipe works best, adding heat
will help more cells to form.
You can also pour your regular colours over the base layer in a dirty
pour technique, don't mix too much in your resin as it is very
concentrated and goes a long way.
This product was developed in conjunction with MasterCast 1-2-1 clear
artwork resin, however other brands of resins will also work but bear
in mind that results may vary due to other brands having a different
viscosity, density and curing schedule.
Paste pigments performed better in our testing compared to acrylic
paints, inks or powder pigments. Metallic pigments did not perform well
with Cell-Base. Cell-Base can be used as a regular pigment and in a
dirty pour. Just remember to swipe or torch lightly to help the cells
emerge.
Cell-Base is suitable for use on most surfaces, including canvas, wood,
MDF, glass, perspex, concrete and metal.
