Topic tags/keywords: tint-able polymer epoxy filler question

I would like to do some scroll projects and fill portions flush with color. I would then sand flush, polish, stain and then finish with lacquer.
I thank anyone in advance for their input and or advice.

I “color” epoxy with powdered tints from ~Lee Valley.
I have alsow used acrylic artists paint and mixed it with 5 minute epoxy with decent results
If you want translucent colors you can get some organic dyes at hobbly stores like Micheals.

Hello Gene;
—-I will also use artist chalk which I grind to powder, great range of color here when used with the polymer’s. And then if I’m not looking for such a great range of color and want to highlight the wood in that area, plus keeping all simple….Home Depot and Lowes stock ‘chalk line’ color, such as blue, orange and red….

....I have also used wood ash and charcol from my fireplace for greys and such.

In the times when I use epoxy’s for re-finishing hardwood floors, I have tinted with System Three epoxy pigments which works very good. I get these at Woodcraft .

Hope this helps and….

Thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank

Checkout the Woodburst website. They carry about every powder and dye I’m aware of. There are some FAQ’s and tips for this as well. Also, check out the WoodWhisperer site and Woodworkingonline. They both have video tutorials of coloring.
