Good morning everyone. Could someone tell me how much paint I can add to epoxy in order to color it? I kinda remember adding "a few drops", but I haven't done this in a lifetime and I just can't remember!
Thanks! Felix

Felix, just keep a newspaper beside you, & mix in a bit of paint at a time. A drop on the newspaper to test ...... quit when you can't see the print through the epoxy.

Excellent. Thanks! I'm actually going to try the extreme. I'm going to do a test piece with 50/50 epoxy and paint, therefore (if it works), considerably lower my cost of epoxy.
Thanks again guys!

Felix, STOP! That ratio will keep the epoxy from curing to a solid. Coastal Enterprises has done research on it. Too much paint and the epoxy gets too diluted and makes the chemical reaction ineffective at curing to a complete solid.
