    Default making white blanks

    I have been making some white resin blanks for decal casting and have not been totally happy with the way they are coming out. I am wondering what sort of pigments some of you use ? i am happy with alot of the colours i make but would really like to get some nice white blanks made and may even be happy with pearl i look forward to your answers.

    Cheers Ian

    I get my white pigment from FGI or now known as Nuplex (although I can't see them in their site) : HOME | Nuplex Composites

    Here's another mob: Pigment Colours Supplies and Pigment Colours Products Guide Australia

    Having said that, why not just use white tubes, then cast in clear resin?
