Epoxy dye source?

[lovethehunt]

Over the weekend I picked up a 1966 Bear Kodiak that had a site on it at one time. Other than the holes from the site its in good condition. I would like to fill the holes and thought exopy would be the best, the glass is brown so I would like to dye the exopy so it blends. Does any one know where to get this product? What is the best exopy to use?

Thanks,

Todd

You can find die made for epoxy at a store that sells fiberglass materials for building fiberglass products.  Locally we use a place called Plastic Craft

I have had success adding paint to epoxy to get the color I wanted.  It doesn't take much paint, I just dipped a toothpick in the paint and then stirred the epoxy.  It took a few tries until I got the shade I wanted.

I have just finished doing same thing. I took a scrap pc brown glass and sanded it with 36 grit sandpaper and added it to small amount of smooth on.It worked good not perfect.I also wsed a taper sanding stone that fits in a drill press and put bevel in hole for epoxy to fill. I also seeled hole first with super glue to waterproof.

Smooth on makes a stain for their epoxy.  It's very concentrated.

model paint works great for coloring epoxies as long as you need an opaque color otherwise you'd have to find tint for it
