DESCRIPTION
Beni Red is a Red based pigment and part of our Glow Series line.
Expose the Glow in the Dark pigments to light in order to charge the pigments.
GLOW TIME PER CHARGE - Unlike other brands, our Glow in the Dark pigments should last 8-10 hours per charge.
Mixing other pigments with the Glow in the Dark pigments will work BUT they will significantly decrease the ability to glow.
Compared to normal pigments, Glow in the Dark pigments have a heavier density and requires a smaller jar which may make it appear there's less.
Glow in the Dark mica powder is ideal for DIY craft use, such as, epoxy, resin, woodworking, pen blanks, plastics, slime, watercolors, cosmetics, fishing lures, bath bombs, jewelry, melt and pour, acrylic, polish, candle making, and MUCH more.
INGREDIENTS & PARTICLE SIZE
Particle size 30-50 μm

MIXING TIPS FOR NEONS
Are you having a difficult time mixing the pigments or just find yourself stirring and stirring? Or even worse, finding tiny specs in your finished product? This is mostly the cause of not mixing and breaking down the pigment enough.
Due to the granular nature of specialty pigments such as neons, glow in the dark, etc. these pigments are typically a little more difficult mix and breakdown.
If this is the case, place the pigments in a small cup, use denatured alcohol and wet the pigments, stir until it has a consistency of a paste. Stir until they break down.
Although this video shows neon pigments, the same process can be used for Glow in the Dark pigments. HERE

EPOXY RATIOS
Epoxy
2 grams per 8 ounces
The most common question that we receive is How much pigment per gallon of epoxy?. This is a very valid question and unfortunately there is no set answer due to the numerous types of applications and variations. This is why we recommend the 2 grams per 8 oz and add as desired.
For example:
Are you looking for an opaque or transparent look?
Lighter colors may take more pigment to achieve the color.
Why micron sizes matter:
PLEASE be aware of the micron sizes of the pigment. The larger the micron, the larger the particle.
Typical pigments average 10-60um.
Be aware that larger micron sized pigments will most likely have a heavier density which will cause the pigment to sink faster in fresh epoxy such as deep pours.
For example, our Icicle or 14k Nugget Gold is 200-700um and will most likely sink in fresh epoxy faster.
To alleviate sinking either let the epoxy settle up a little bit. Or, come back through your project to stir it a little more.
SOAPS RATIOS
Soap - Cold process
2 tsp per lb of oils
Soap - Hot process
½ tsp lb of MP base
NOTE: Due to the white MP base, it will always create a pastel color.
AUTOMOTIVE / REMOVABLE PAINT RATIOS
DO NOT use for these applications. Neon pigments are not UV resistant and will fade over time under constant UV (sun) exposure.

For more tutorial visit his page HERE.
STEP #1- MIX YOUR POURING MEDIUM
3 parts Behr8300 Deep Base Interior/Exterior Hi-Gloss Enamel. 1 part JOSONJA Polyurethane Water Based Gloss Varnish.
Mix gently folding paint and varnish together until they are completely mixed, Go Slow to reduce mixing bubbles.
STEP #2- DISPERSING PIGMENTS INTO YOUR MEDIUM
Pour 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of JOSONJA Gloss Varnish into mixing container. Add around a teaspoon of Pigment (I generally add a little more) into your container with the JOSONJA. Mix until all Pigments have dissolved into a liquid making sure to stir any clumps out at this time.
STEP #3- COMBINING YOUR POURING MEDIUM & DISPERSED PIGMENTS
Add around 3 Tablespoons of Pouring medium into your Dispersed Pigments. Mix thoroughly being slow and folding rather than whipping, this will minimize the air bubbles.
STEP #4- WHAT IF?
-If your new mixed color seems to thick- Add a small amount of JOSONJA and stir until you reach the desired consistency.
-If your new mixed color seems to thin- Add a small amount of Behr8300 (ONLY) and stir until you reach the desired consistency.
