John, don't use Zinc Oxide. Its weak and not very opaque.

Titanium is the guy. You need way less to get an opaque white.


Thanks, Jay.
I used zinc oxide years ago in the epoxy I used to make an icebox in a sailboat. It held up fine in that application, but I wouldn't use it for anything today.

Will titanium white 'overpower' dark amber epoxy ?
