Sunshine Beaver Dust Pigment is a bright yellow mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a cheerful yellow shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a warm, sunny colour with movement, depth, and a pearlescent mica effect.
Use Sunshine in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, summer-inspired resin pieces, floral projects, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a bright yellow shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom gold, lemon, amber, orange-yellow, sunflower, sunset, or warm metallic-style effects.

- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects

Why Sunshine Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Sunshine is a useful mica powder colour when you want a bright yellow pigment that feels warm, cheerful, and easy to use in colourful resin projects. It can work well in floral epoxy projects, summer colour palettes, decorative trays, coasters, handmade gifts, and woodworking projects where you want a bright accent colour that stands out.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, white pearl blends, gold and orange colour palettes, natural wood projects, floral-inspired designs, and warm decorative pours. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Sunshine 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.
Sunshine is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a bright yellow colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent yellow shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated sunshine yellow effect.
Suggested Projects
- Sunshine yellow epoxy pours: Use Sunshine on its own for bright yellow resin projects with a pearlescent mica shimmer.
- Floral resin art: Pair Sunshine with white, green, orange, pink, coral, gold, or bronze pigments for floral-inspired colour palettes.
- Sunset-inspired resin art: Use Sunshine with orange, light orange, coral, red, bronze, or gold pigments for warm sunset-style effects.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add yellow shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Sunshine for bright epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, orange, light orange, gold, copper, bronze, green, or coral tones to create custom lemon, amber, sunflower, sunset, and warm metallic-style effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Sunshine 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.
