Hi
My daughter ask for a specific color for here sewing table. She want a « Tardis » blue. I have the RGB (0,59,111), CMYK (100,55,10,48) or Pantone (2955C) code.
I will cast GC3 over a 30mm chipboard using technics described in video « Complete Epoxy Resin Countertop Tutorial ».
My questions are how to get this specific color :
Did I have to use solid epoxy color pigment or curl pigments ?
What is the mix ratio to get this blue ?

Yesterday, second pour with barriers all around.

Today, fully cured. Satin finish.

The sewing is finished.


A good experience.

Some little things to improve the next time:
- Use fumed silicat to make a gelcoat for the egdes of the chipboard.
- Check the level
- Whait more time before removing the barriers.
- improvre polishing (need to get a polisher)
