Hi,
Hello I'm a newbee at this.
How much pigment do I add to Fast Cast resin ?
Also does the more pigment I add make the final part more brittle ?
Cheers Brian,

Hi Brian,

Is there no percentage loading given for the colour buy the manufacturer.
It won't make the part brittle but will affect the structure of the finished part of you over pigment.

Generally speaking for our Fast Cast and the West and Senior pigment dispersions you are looking at approximately 10% by weight to get a good even colour.

Of course, any additives will effect the properties of the resin to an extent, but at the levels we are talking about, the weakening will not be significantly noticeable.
