Subject: RE: epoxy coloring Bob, Since no-one else has responded, I'll toss in my two cents. I don't know about oil stains, never tried them but I'd be concerned about their effect on the epoxy strength. I've found a blend of West Microlight filler, yellow chalk, and red chalk, that matches pretty well. The chalk is hardware store powdered chalk for chalk lines. Can't tell you the exact proportions, but it's mostly microlight, a moderate amount of yellow, and just a dash of red. And you won't know what color it really is until it's cured, sanded, and finished. Lotsa luck.

Mohawk Finishing has a wide variety of powdered stains that work vry well for coloring epoxy. Also you can check with Ruth Phillips. She/they handle a lot of finishing stuff and have good advise for piano oriented services. Look in the PTG directory under Webb Phillips & Associates. Paul C
