      I want to try to replicate the look of AB coatings on some resin pieces, but I’m not sure the best way to go about it. Traditionally with glass and crystal, it’s applied by fuming metal salts onto the hot glass, but there’s obviously some way to do it with acrylic/resin/etc., since mass-produced AB rhinestones and such are super common. Thanks so much for the help!

      Hi Nick,

      Mixing interference powders with resin is the closest thing I can think of to get an AB look in your resin. You can buy those powders here: https://shop.resinobsession.com/products/powder-pigments-for-resin
