Plastic coloring with Devcon

Recommended Posts

I experimented with adding color to Devcon tonight. The plastic coloring that we use for plastics is awsome with the Devcon. My favorite is adding a very small amount of black and putting that over a solid white bait. It gives it a clear smoke finish. I would like to hear from others who have tried this. Is there a cheaper coloring that could be used?

Markell, you can color Devcon with Rit dye, mix it with a little ethyl alcohol or acetone and add just a few drops. Any leftover mix can be reused, or let the alcohol/acetone evaporate & it will leave the dye.

You can also use enamel to color epoxy, but it will give you an opaque color. Depending on how much epoxy you mix at one time, it usually only takes a few drops of paint to color it.
