Maneater Casting Mica – Bronze (1 oz)This warm metallic bronze mica powder delivers rich copper highlights that shift to red-gold tones in clear resin. Pen turners and resin casters choose it for steampunk, antique, and industrial themes where depth and shimmer matter.Why makers love itThe fine particles suspend evenly in epoxy, giving consistent metallic coverage without clumping. It pairs beautifully with Alumilite, JB Royal Original, and JB Royal Thin for fast-turn projects and works in any clear or lightly tinted casting. Makers also explore complementary shades in the Mica Powder collection and Color-shifting mica line for layered effects.Recommended Mix Ratios & Tips for Best ResultsClear resin shows the pearlescence and metallic character best. Always mix powder into Part A first, then add Part B and stir slowly to reduce bubbles. Start light for translucent shimmer and increase load for opaque coverage. This bronze excels in swirl pen blanks and accent veins in river tables. Resin Type Starting Ratio (Powder : Resin) Notes for Maximum Color & Pearlescence Alumilite Urethane (Clear or Slow) 1:30 Grams : Grams Fast cure helps keep mica suspended — minimal sinking; great for translucent shimmer. Epoxy (JB Royal, Liquid Diamonds, etc.) 1:10 Grams : Liquid Ounces Start light for depth and sparkle; go heavier for opaque metallic coverage. Stir slowly to avoid bubbles. Polyester Resin 1:10 Grams : Liquid Ounces Strong color payoff; pressure pot recommended for bubble-free casts with even flake orientation. Pro Tip: For the richest shimmer, use clear resin, a moderate load, and finish with a gloss polish after turning.Project ideasUse this bronze mica powder for resin in steampunk pen blanks, antique-style bottle stoppers, or metallic accents in HDPE Molds.
