Using Alumilite

[Padre]

I have been using PR to cast pen blanks, and I'm really tired of the smell. Does anyone know if you can use the luster pigments with alumilite?

Thanks.

Yep . Almost anything that works with PR will work with Alumilite .

Yep . Almost anything that works with PR will work with Alumilite .

Except anyting that contains any amount of water.

Curtis,
I was thinking about the dry luster pigments I have from Douglas and Sturgis, the powder ones.

That's why I said "Almost anything" . I have used Rit dye with PR with some success but I know it won't work with Alumilite because it's water based .


Padre , ALL DRY pigments that work for PR will work with Alumilite including the ones you have .

It will work as long as you keep it dry. If you have a humid shop and leave the package open, it will pick up moisture and can cause problems.
