Epoxy Resin Alcohol Inks

EPODEX Epoxy Resin Alcohol Inks

EPODEX Alcohol Inks are transparent and fast-drying alcohol-based ink colours specifically designed for fluid painting techniques. Create individual colour gradients, abstract effects, and surprising shapes with EPODEX Alcohol Inks.
The ink can be used on almost all smooth, non-porous materials. Epoxy resins, synthetic papers (e.g. Yupo paper), glass, metal, ceramics, porcelain, stone or modeling clay are best suited. After drying, the acid-free Alcohol Inks are smudge-proof and waterproof.

Application on epoxy resins

1. Mix epoxy resin and hardener in the specified mixing ratio.
2. Pour the resin-hardener mixture onto the desired surface or into the desired mould. For the typical Alcohol Ink effect (“Petri-Art effect“) we recommend a maximum pouring height of 1.5cm.
3. Add the coloured alcohol ink of your choice to the still liquid the resin-hardener mixture and then add the alcohol ink SELENIT WHITE. The inks will react with each other creating a unique pattern. The more white ink drops you add to the coloured ink drop, the more pronounced and deeper the effect will be.
4. To achieve a full-surface result, you can, for example, place several coloured drops next to each other and alternate them with white drops to create a pattern. The more white drops you put on the coloured drop, the deeper the colours sink into the resin and the stronger the Alcohol Ink effect is.
5. Work with different coloured paints for a multicoloured result.

Info: Epoxy resin is sensitive to any kind of moisture during curing (risk of carbamate formation, i.e. white patches in the top layer). For this reason, we recommend that you avoid any contact between water and the epoxy until it has cured completely (at least 7 days). For thin layers, cold temperatures (ambient, substrate, and resin temperatures below 20°C) and increased humidity, the time until the epoxy resin is fully cured may be extended.
