We recommend to use original Jesmonite pigments, as their high pigment concentration means very little is needed to achieve the desired color.
Tips for Jesmonite pigments:
To achieve a pure black, always calculate 2% of the total mix weight; otherwise, gray tones often appear when the Jesmonite dries.
If you are inexperienced with pigments, it is recommended to first tint the liquid, mixing several colors if necessary, and once the desired color is achieved, add the powder (AC BASE). Once everything is mixed, the tone can be corrected by adding more pigments.
How to achieve perfect blends with Jesmonite pigment?
To achieve smooth mixtures without lumps or white spots, we recommend using the Jesmonite MIXING BLADE.
How do I store Jesmonite pigments?
A good way to keep your pigments in perfect condition is to shake them regularly to ensure you always use the perfect mix/concentration. Some colors, due to their solid pigment formulation, tend to clump at the bottom of the container. Remember to shake them regularly, and of course, always before use.
Important note:
The green pigment is much thicker than others; if you have difficulty with green, it's much better to use yellow and blue.
