where to get coloured epoxy filler ?
I need some coloured epoxy filler (grout ?) to improve a dogdy worktop
join (not done by me). Any ideas ? It needs to end up a yellow/cream type of colour. Thanks, Simon. |

Thanks, Simon. B&Q, Screwfix, worktop suppliers. MBQ Nope! all worktop sealants come in brown,white,grey opaque. :-) Dickhead. Who said anything about worktop sealant? He wants worktop filler, Colorfill is one brand I can think of that is sold by B&Q. Laminate floor filler may also do the job. MBQ |

So if you are stuck you can get away with dyes or dry out some acrylic artist's paint and regrind it. A plain white filler will dry to a cream. Try talc and araldite. Place a strip of cellotape on a longer strip of tape -adhesive to adhesive, and use the longer strip to hold the other over the finished fill. That will be your finished face. Polishing afterwards will ruin the shine as it will expose the filler particles. |

Mixed the colour to match, sanded and polished - it had a shine as good as the original finish. |

Works fine for me, but then I support my worktops properly. MBQ |

wrote: I need some coloured epoxy filler (grout ?) to improve a dogdy worktop join Look at the Fill & Seal range from Trend (the router people). Expensive, but works really well IME. I have successfully added a drop of coloured acrylic paint to the Fill & Seal to get a perfect match. CRB |
