    Default Where to get coloured epoxy?

    Does anyone know where I can get a small tube of dark coloured epoxy for use on a timber table top in filling cracks and holes in the knots?

    Alternatively, I do have a tin of techniglue CA 2 part epoxy that I have had for a while. Is there any suitable pigment that I can add while mixing this?
    regards,

    Dengy

    Jill - if you've already got Techniglue, easy to make your own.

    I've used a couple of methods:

    (1) FW prooftint - only a few drops required.

    (2) get soft artists pastels and scrape some powder off them into your mixed epoxy.

    Being Techniglue you've got enough time to play around with the colour before it starts to go off.

    I've used powdered charcoal to turn epoxy black. It doesn't take very much.
