: Has anyone tried using black copier powder to color the epoxy black? This is
: for a small accent area and there are no structural issues. Does it work?
: Does the powder mix in easily without lumps?

It works very well--jet black, but the toner powder is so fine that you get a semi-translucent black. I found that mixing in a little bit of glass microballoons to make the mixture opaque works well. You still get jet black.
