"I used to have the fake ivory too but haven't had any in a while"

no, I mean synthetic ivory. Fake, imitation, spurious, not genuine, plastic made to imitate the appearance of ivory.

Thought I would add a web site below for those of you looking for "Imitation Ivory Polymer Mixes" When you get to the below web-site look at the lower position at the site under "Sources and Citations" there are 4 web sites there to further your searches.
I have not used "Imitation Ivory" color but I have used many Color based epoxy in my wood working. "I use water-base epoxy" Oil base may be better for your work? Just have to experiment. The colors and thickness consistences you can make are limitless.
Make sure that you mix-up enough for the entire job, a second batch will never be the "exact" color as the first. (Learned that through my own mistakes).
