How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the total weight of mixed resin in ounces that you have prepared.
- Select the desired opacity: translucent (~2%), semi-opaque (~5%), or fully opaque (~10%).
- Choose your pigment type: liquid pigment, powder (mica/oxide), or paste — each has a different loading factor.
- Read the pigment weight in grams and ounces to measure and add to the mixed resin.
- Note the maximum pigment percentage warning — exceeding it can prevent proper curing.
