Mixol Universal Tints for Coloring Paint, Epoxy, Wax & More

Mixol universal tints are concentrated, highly pigmented colorants made in Germany that are designed to work with virtually any base medium — latex paint, oil-based paint, acrylic, solvent-based stain, wax, and even epoxy resin. For woodworkers and finishing craftspeople, this versatility makes Mixol one of the most flexible colorant systems available: the same tints that color a paint can also tint a paste wax or add color to a river table epoxy pour.

The Mixol Universal Tints in 20 ml bottles provide a wide color palette in a convenient size for custom mixing. Because Mixol pigments are highly concentrated, small amounts go a long way — precise control over hue and saturation is achieved by adding the tint in small increments and mixing thoroughly before evaluating the color. The 15 Pc Mixol Universal Tint and Metallic Effect Set offers a curated range including metallic finishes, ideal for decorative work, resin art, and specialty finishing projects.

Using Mixol Tints in Woodworking Applications

Mixol tints are particularly useful for tinting wax finishes to add a color wash to wood, adjusting the tone of a gel stain, tinting clear epoxy for river tables and decorative pours, and mixing custom paint colors for painted furniture. The pigments are bleed-resistant and lightfast for indoor applications, and the formulation disperses cleanly without clumping in most base materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can Mixol universal tints be used with?

Mixol tints are compatible with an exceptionally wide range of base materials — latex paint, oil-based paint, alkyd, acrylic, solvent-based stain, paste wax, clear epoxy resin, and varnish. Their universal formulation means one set of tints works across nearly any finishing system.

Can I use Mixol tints to color epoxy resin?

Yes — Mixol pigments disperse well in two-part epoxy resin, making them useful for tinting river table pours, casting resin, and decorative epoxy applications. Mix the tint thoroughly into the resin before combining with the hardener to ensure even color distribution.

How concentrated are Mixol universal tints?

Mixol tints are highly concentrated — a small amount goes a long way when tinting a light-colored base. Start with a small addition, mix thoroughly, and assess the color before adding more. This allows very precise control over the final hue and saturation.

Can Mixol tints be used to color wax finishes?

Yes. Mixing Mixol pigments into a paste wax creates a tinted wax that can add a color wash to open-grain woods, antiques, and decorative surfaces. This technique is commonly used for liming effects, aged patinas, and color-enhancing protective wax finishes.

What is the 15 Pc Mixol Metallic Effect Set?

The 15 Pc Mixol Universal Tint and Metallic Effect Set is a curated collection that includes both standard pigment tints and metallic-effect colorants. The metallic tints add shimmer and reflectivity to epoxy, paint, and wax — popular in resin art, decorative furniture, and specialty finishing work.

Are Mixol tints lightfast for indoor wood finishing?

Mixol pigments are formulated to be lightfast for indoor applications, meaning they resist fading under typical interior lighting conditions. As with any colorant, avoid prolonged direct UV sunlight exposure, which can eventually fade any pigment-based finish.

Can I mix different Mixol tints together?

Yes — Mixol tints are intermixable, allowing you to blend custom colors. Because the tints are highly concentrated and share a compatible formulation, they mix cleanly without separation or unexpected color shifts when combined in the same base.
