ALWAYS TEST BEFORE FULL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION UFO GREEN is a beautiful bright green pigment and part of our Neon Series line. Our popular mica powder is ideal for DIY craft use, such as, epoxy, resin, woodworking, pen blanks, plastics, slime, watercolors, cosmetics, fishing lures, candle making, and MUCH more. INGREDIENTS & PARTICLE SIZE Particle size 1-5 μm Ingredients Polyurethane-11, Chromium Oxide Heat Threshold 500 °F MIXING TIPS FOR NEONS Are you having a difficult time mixing the pigments or just find yourself stirring and stirring? Or even worse, finding tiny specs in your finished product? This is mostly the cause of not mixing and breaking down the pigment enough. Due to the granular nature of specialty pigments such as neons, glow in the dark, etc. these pigments are typically a little more difficult mix and breakdown. If this is the case, place the pigments in a small cup, use denatured alcohol and wet the pigments, stir until it has a consistency of a paste. Stir until they break down. We also have a very short video showing the process HERE ADDITIONAL DATA Product Type Mica Vegan Yes Soaps Yes Epoxy Resin Yes Acrylic No FDA-Permitted for External Use No FDA-Permitted for Eye Area Use No FDA-Permitted for General (Including Lips) Use No FDA-Permitted for Bath Bombs Use No We are always asked if our pigments can be used for cosmetic purposes. Below you will find some additional information on FDA Regulations. FDA: Fact Sheet: Color Additives and Cosmetics FDA: Color Additives Permitted for Use In Cosmetics EPOXY RATIOS Epoxy 2 grams per 8 ounces The most common question that we receive is How much pigment per gallon of epoxy?. This is a very valid question and unfortunately there is no set answer due to the numerous types of applications and variations. This is why we recommend the 2 grams per 8 oz and add as desired. For example: Are you looking for an opaque or transparent look? Lighter colors may take more pigment to achieve the color. Why micron sizes matter: PLEASE be aware of the micron sizes of the pigment. The larger the micron, the larger the particle. Typical pigments average 10-60um. Be aware that larger micron sized pigments will most likely have a heavier density which will cause the pigment to sink faster in fresh epoxy such as deep pours. For example, our Icicle or 14k Nugget Gold is 200-700um and will most likely sink in fresh epoxy faster. To alleviate sinking either let the epoxy settle up a little bit. Or, come back through your project to stir it a little more. SOAPS RATIOS Soap - Cold process 2 tsp per lb of oils Soap - Hot process ½ tsp lb of MP base NOTE: Due to the white MP base, it will always create a pastel color. AUTOMOTIVE / REMOVABLE PAINT RATIOS DO NOT use for these applications. Neon pigments are not UV resistant and will fade over time under constant UV (sun) exposure.

STEP #1- MIX YOUR POURING MEDIUM 3 parts Behr8300 Deep Base Interior/Exterior Hi-Gloss Enamel. 1 part JOSONJA Polyurethane Water Based Gloss Varnish. Mix gently folding paint and varnish together until they are completely mixed, Go Slow to reduce mixing bubbles. STEP #2- DISPERSING PIGMENTS INTO YOUR MEDIUM Pour 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of JOSONJA Gloss Varnish into mixing container. Add around a teaspoon of Pigment (I generally add a little more) into your container with the JOSONJA. Mix until all Pigments have dissolved into a liquid making sure to stir any clumps out at this time. STEP #3- COMBINING YOUR POURING MEDIUM & DISPERSED PIGMENTS Add around 3 Tablespoons of Pouring medium into your Dispersed Pigments. Mix thoroughly being slow and folding rather than whipping, this will minimize the air bubbles. STEP #4- WHAT IF? -If your new mixed color seems to thick- Add a small amount of JOSONJA and stir until you reach the desired consistency. -If your new mixed color seems to thin- Add a small amount of Behr8300 (ONLY) and stir until you reach the desired consistency.

Mica powder is made from a reflective stone mineral that has a naturally glassy shimmer. When mixed into epoxy resins, lacquers, paints, plastics, candles and other DIY crafting projects, it creates an eye-catching metallic shine. Eye Candy mica pigment powders are available in a wide range of vibrant colors, all using top-quality base materials. The ultra-fine pearls are 10-60 microns in size* (with exceptions; see note at bottom) to better blend with a wide variety of mediums.
