Fluorescent Orange Red Beaver Dust Pigment is a bold orange-red mica powder made for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications where you want a warm, high-impact colour. It is part of the Beaver Dust fluorescent pigment line, designed to look vibrant under normal lighting and show its strongest effect under a black light.
This colour is a great choice when you want something brighter than a standard orange or red mica powder. Use it for fiery epoxy effects, sunset-inspired resin art, bold accent pours, black light projects, and decorative pieces that need a strong pop of colour.
Best Uses for Fluorescent Orange Red Mica Powder
- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Black light projects where a fluorescent orange-red effect is desired
- Sunset, fire, lava, flame, and warm-colour epoxy designs
- Epoxy coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, and decorative resin accents
- Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects
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.
Fluorescent Orange Red is especially useful when you want a bright, warm pigment that remains visible throughout the cured resin. Use a lighter amount for a softer orange-red shimmer, or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated fluorescent effect.
Suggested Projects
- Fire and lava-inspired resin art: Use this pigment with yellow, red, black, or metallic colours to create bold heat-inspired effects.
- River tables and resin inlays: Add a bright orange-red accent to clear or tinted epoxy pours.
- Black light projects: Use in pieces that will be viewed under UV or black light for maximum fluorescent impact.
- Epoxy coasters and trays: Create eye-catching handmade pieces with a vivid warm colour palette.
- Candles and soap: Test in your own wax or soap base to dial in the colour strength and final look you want.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point is approximately 1/2 teaspoon of pigment per 1 litre of epoxy. You can adjust from there depending on the colour strength, opacity, shimmer, and depth of pour you are trying to achieve.
For smaller batches, start with a small amount, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. This helps you avoid over-pigmenting your epoxy while still giving you control over the final colour.
