In Response To: Seeking: Epoxy compatable dyes (Steve Pollack)

: Looking to dye a figure coming out of the bow of one of my boats. Want to use
: multiple colors to similate feathers, then epoxy and varnish over.
: Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The tints that are commonly sold for use with polyester resin are compatible with epoxy. I have some West Systems epoxy tint and some generic polyester tint that are the same product (you can tell by the smell). You can get a tint kit with red, yellow, blue, white, brown and black at West marine for a few bucks.
