Coral Mica Powder - Beaver Dust Pigments

Coral Beaver Dust Pigment is a warm coral mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a soft pink-orange shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a warm, colourful accent with movement, depth, and a pearlescent mica effect.

Use Coral in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, floral-inspired resin pieces, beach-style projects, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a warm coral shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom peach, pink, orange, sunset, rose gold, tropical, or coastal-style effects.

Best Uses for Coral Mica Powder

• Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
• River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
• Floral, beach, sunset, coral, peach, and warm-tone 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 Coral Is a Useful Pigment Colour

Coral is a useful mica powder colour when you want something warmer than pink but softer than a bold orange or red. It can work well in floral resin art, beach-inspired epoxy projects, warm decorative pours, sunset colour palettes, handmade trays, coasters, and woodworking projects where you want a cheerful colour that still feels natural and balanced.

This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, white pearl blends, gold and copper colour palettes, tropical colour combinations, natural wood projects, and lighter decorative pours. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Coral 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.

Coral is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a warm pink-orange colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent coral shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated coral effect.

Suggested Projects

• Coral epoxy pours: Use Coral on its own for warm pink-orange resin projects with a pearlescent mica shimmer.
• Beach-inspired epoxy projects: Pair Coral with white, seafoam, Caribbean, blue, clear, or sand-coloured tones for tropical and coastal-style resin effects.
• Floral resin art: Use Coral with pink, white, red, gold, copper, or green pigments for floral-inspired colour palettes.
• River tables and epoxy inlays: Add coral shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
• Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Coral for warm epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
• Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, pink, red, orange, gold, copper, bronze, or yellow tones to create custom peach, sunset, rose gold, and tropical effects.

How Much Pigment Should You Use?

A good starting point for Coral 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.
