Cambridge Blue Beaver Dust Pigment is a soft blue mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a clean blue shimmer with a softer look than deeper navy or dark blue pigments, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a lighter blue colour with movement, depth, and a pearlescent mica effect.
Use Cambridge Blue in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, ocean-inspired resin pieces, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a soft blue shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom sky blue, coastal blue, teal, turquoise, ocean, or pearl-style effects.
Best Uses for Cambridge Blue Mica Powder
- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Ocean, water, coastal, sky blue, and soft blue epoxy projects
- Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
- Resin coasters, jewelry, keychains, and small craft projects
- Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects
Why Cambridge Blue Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Cambridge Blue is a useful mica powder colour when you want a blue pigment that feels softer and more subtle than a bold primary blue or dark navy. It can work well in coastal-style resin art, bright river table pours, lighter decorative accents, and projects where you want a calm blue shimmer without overpowering the wood or surrounding colours.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, coastal-style pours, lighter colour blends, white pearl effects, darker backgrounds, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Cambridge Blue tone, shimmer, and transparency will look in your exact resin, wax, soap base, coating, or craft material.
Why Beaver Dust Pigments Are Different
Beaver Dust Pigments are made with fine particles under 60 microns. This smaller particle size helps the pigment mix smoothly into epoxy and stay suspended while the resin cures, instead of settling to the bottom like some larger or heavier pigment particles can.
Cambridge Blue is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a softer blue colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent blue shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated Cambridge Blue effect.
Suggested Projects
- Soft blue epoxy pours: Use Cambridge Blue on its own for clean blue resin projects with a lighter mica shimmer.
- Ocean-inspired epoxy projects: Pair Cambridge Blue with white, Caribbean, blue green, clear, teal, or dark blue pigments for coastal-style resin effects.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add soft blue shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Resin coasters and trays: Create handmade pieces with a soft blue shimmer and a lighter decorative look.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Cambridge Blue for bright epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, blue green, teal, navy, dark blue, silver, or Caribbean tones to create custom ocean, sky blue, and blue-based effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Cambridge Blue mica powder is approximately 1/8 teaspoon per 1 litre of epoxy for a medium level of transparency. You can adjust from there depending on the colour strength, opacity, shimmer, and final effect you want.
For smaller batches, start with a small amount, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. Mica powder can look different depending on lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, and the amount used, so testing a sample is recommended before committing to a larger project.
