Pigment System
24 water-based colours that go into the mixing water and tint the whole piece, not just the surface.
Specifications, explained
The numbers that decide how a cast behaves — and what to watch for at each step.
Material & mix
- Base Water-based liquid pigment
- Water-based, so it disperses in the casting water instead of sitting on the surface.
- Colours 24 in one box
- Each in a resealable dropper bottle — keep the box upright and the colours stay separate.
- Compatibility Gypsum, plaster and cement
- Mix into the water first, then add the powder, so the tone is even throughout.
Timing & use
- Mixing Stir into the water before the powder
- Pigment added to mixed paste leaves streaks that no amount of stirring removes.
- Setting Colour sets with the cast
- No extra cure time — the pigment is locked in as the gypsum hardens.
- Sealing Seal as you normally would
- A PU topcoat locks the colour in and stops water marks; very dark tones deepen slightly under it.
Finished piece
- Range 24 shades, and blendable
- Blend two colours to reach tones that are not in the box — blend the water, do not layer the pour.
- Depth Strong tint, still translucent
- The paste stays translucent as you mix, so the tone reads differently in thin and thick sections.
- Strength No measurable effect
- At normal doses the pigment is a small fraction of the water, so the cast cures as usual.
