Why Choose a Beaver Dust Pigment Variety Pack?
A variety pack is one of the easiest ways to test colours before using them in a larger epoxy pour. Instead of choosing one full-size pigment jar based on a photo, you can make small sample pours, compare colours side by side, and see how each pigment looks in your exact resin, lighting, mold, wood species, and project depth.
This Shades pack is especially useful for modern river tables, black epoxy inlays, white pearl highlights, silver-grey resin art, concrete-style effects, warm copper accents, bronze-brown tones, rustic woodworking projects, coasters, trays, jewelry, keychains, and small decorative pieces. The range of neutral shades gives you plenty of room to test subtle colours, bold contrast, warm metallics, cool metallics, and classic black-and-white combinations.
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.
Because each colour behaves a little differently depending on the base material, lighting, amount used, and pour depth, this variety pack is a practical way to test real results before using a shade in a larger resin or woodworking project.
Suggested Projects
- Modern sample pours: Test Black Pearl, Silver Grey, Gun Metal Grey, Silver Pearl, White, and Star White side by side to compare neutral shimmer and contrast.
- Coasters and small molds: Pair this pack with small silicone molds to make coaster-style projects while testing multiple neutral pigments.
- River table colour testing: Compare black, grey, silver, bronze, brown, copper, and white shades before committing to a larger epoxy river pour.
- Marble and stone effects: Use White, Star White, Silver Pearl, Silver Grey, Gun Metal Grey, and Black Pearl for marble, stone, smoke, and concrete-inspired resin art.
- Rustic woodworking accents: Test Bronze, Brown, Bronze Brown, Copper, and Black Pearl in cracks, voids, carved details, logos, and epoxy-filled inlays.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix colours from the pack to create your own smoke grey, charcoal, antique bronze, copper-brown, black pearl, stone, marble, concrete, and warm metallic effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Beaver Dust 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 sample pours, start with a small amount of pigment, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. Neutral and metallic pigments can look different depending on lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, mold shape, and wood tone, so small test pours are the best way to compare colours before using them in a larger project.
