I have repaired handle chips with 2 part epoxy before, i tried to color it with some brown liquid colorant from hobby lobby and it wouldn't let the epoxy dry completely. So i am asking what you guys use to color epoxy? Rust,brown crayon,brown delrin dust??
Thank you,
Randy

Re: calling all repairmen
I use Lacquer based wood stains. A little goes a long way, just a drop or two depending on the amount of epoxy you're using. I use dark walnut for browner shades and golden oak or provincial for amber shades. It does slow up the drying time, so I use a 5 minute epoxy to help speed it up.

I use dust from a similar colored material.
