How much area will the paint cover?

This depends on several factors; but in general, 1-2 oz. of paint will cover about 40 square inches of surface area.

Do I have to use Color Pour Cell Magic and a torch on my projects?

That depends on the look you want! You can create fun, marbled effects with Color Pour Pre-Mixed Paint without Cell Magic. But if you love the look of cells and lacing in your pour art, Color Pour Cell Magic and a torch is the best way to achieve that look. We recommend using 1/4 teaspoon per 1 ounce of paint. Visit the video page to learn how to use the paint with and without oil.

I don't have a torch. Can I still use Color Pour Cell Magic?

Absolutely! Cell Magic produces one look when it's used with a torch and one without. Experiment with both techniques and find out which you like best!

A crafting heat gun can help remove any bubbles from the resin after you stir the two parts together. Gently sweep across the surface until bubbles begin to rise.
