the use of toner *Pic*

I have access to about 2 lbs of new toner.

Anyone think of any reason why or why not to use some of it to darken/blacken hatch seals, instead of using graphite.

The ingredients listed on the package are:

:\ Styrene Acrylic Polymer
:) Carbon black
:\ Wax
:) Dye
:) Silica

There are two ingredients that I am concerned with; is the wax, and the secondly is the Polymer. I do not know any thing about the Polymer, anyone have ideas how it will react in an epoxy mixture. I am using Raka epoxy.

I want to do something similar to what Ross Leidy did here in the photo with graphite.
