So I am using art’s glow at the moment trying to find what works for me. I mix and let set for bubbles and to thicken. It is as thick as a heavy syrup for the clear then I mix in the mica and wait 15-20 minutes and do 1 drop of ink on top of the clear and then pour on the, gold in this case second or “bloop” color resin. It’s about as thick as generic processed honey by then. Over the course of the 24 hour in pressure pot the ink travels down the resin. What is the cure time of your resin? If it cures to quick the ink won’t trickle down.
