tinting / dyeing epoxy
I'm looking to dye epoxy opaque white to fill in some small dings in a
current project made of melamine. Does anyone have any suggestions on what sort of dye powder (or other) to use? Or is there a product for this application that my dags didn't turn up? thanks, jc |

You can get it in small bottles at a craft store or the craft section at Wal-Mart, e.g. todd |

Even wood dust can be used to help blend in an epoxy repair in lumber. dave |

I've used universal colorants, acrylic artist's paint, artist's oil paint, Solar Lux, Behlen's pigments, even Testors model paints, all with excellent results. I needed so little colorant, I don't think the epoxy cared what it was. Just remember how many shades of white there are... G As usual, practice on scrap, and trim the epoxy with a sharp tool, sanding doesn't work that well. Barry |
