How to Make Epoxy Colored
- 1). Buy a color additive. Color additives are sold as dry pigments, premixed pastes, gels or liquids. They can be found at hardware, home improvement, automotive and art supply stores.
- 2). Use the colorant as is--straight from the product's container--or mix a new color using two or more colors. Mix the colorant in an artist's mixing tray in small batches. Practice obtaining the correct mixed color before preparing the epoxy.
- 3). Mix the epoxy according to the manufacturer's directions.
- 4). Add a drop of the color immediately after mixing the epoxy. Use an appropriate stir stick, such as a toothpick or a Popsicle stick, to mix the color and epoxy thoroughly. Add more as needed to create the desired epoxy color.
- 5). Apply the colored epoxy.
