Hi.

So Ive been experimenting with some glow in the dark pigment.  (This is it:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/104574837/aqua-glow-in-the-dark-pigment-powder?ref=sr_gallery_23&ga_search_query=glow+in+the+dark+pigment&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery)

I find that when I mix it – or even glitter – it wants to float towards the bottom.  Sometimes this is Ok, but sometimes its annoying.  I like to fill mini bottles and what I want is for it to be more evenly spread.  Instead it winds up settling at the bottom.

Am I doing something wrong and is there a solution to this?

Hi Michelle,

I havent worked with that brand of powder, so this is pure speculation.  I would try mixing a little less of the powder with the resin.  You could also try mixing it as a stock solution, then adding it to a larger mix of resin.  Alternatively, you can try to pour in layers.  It may not fix the settling issue, but may make it less noticeable.

Have you contacted the seller?  I would be curious to here what he/she suggests.
