i use pearlex to color the resins when i do casting
just mix the pearlex in using a icey pole stick and bobs your uncle, the pearlex creates its own swirls, and ust the icey pole stick to judge the depth of color, you don't want to be able to see the tubes after you have turned the material down unless you are painting the tubes
good luck

As MIK says, but if you only want a few Pearlex powders to try, the cheapest in Aus is here
I also have a local supplier that sells neutral pearlex powder (although slow painful ordering process ) that gives the swirling patterns when combined with dyes, so gives me even more colour alternatives.
Don't forget, if you want to try worthless wood, good quality effectively free off-cuts hereNeil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new
