What to Do If Your Resin Liquid Pigment Has Dried or Thickened

If you’ve opened your resin pigment bottle and noticed it's become thick, clumpy, or dry—don’t panic! This is a common issue, especially if the bottle hasn’t been sealed properly or is stored in hot/humid conditions. Here's what you can do:

🔹 Why It Happens

• Exposure to air: Pigments start drying when the bottle isn’t tightly closed.
• Heat & humidity: Environmental factors can cause pigments to thicken or form clumps.
• Old stock: Resin pigments also have a shelf life.

🔹 Quick Fixes

• Hot Water Bath
  Place the closed pigment bottle in warm (not boiling) water for 5–10 minutes. Shake well after removing. This helps soften the pigment.
• Mix with Clear Resin
  If it's semi-dry but still mixable, blend it directly into a small amount of clear resin. The resin acts as a medium and can restore fluidity.
• Use a Mixing Stick or Toothpick
  For thick pigments, scrape out a small amount with a stick and dissolve it directly in resin instead of trying to squeeze it from the bottle.

🔹 What Not to Do

• Do NOT add water or alcohol—it can affect your resin’s curing.
• Avoid microwaving the pigment bottle—it may melt or release fumes.

🔹 Pro Tips to Prevent Drying

• Always close the bottle tightly after use.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
• Use pigments within 6–12 months for best results.
