Resin tint... poly/epoxy

Any reason my old “poly” tint won’t work with some RR epoxy?

By the looks of a quick search online, the answer is “no,” but I thought I take it to the experts before I start experimenting…

Do a test batch.

My understanding is epoxy is more sensitive to ratios and the amount of tint used. I’ve found keeping within those ratios makes it a little tough to get a true opaque tint that will cover a stringer, depending on color. I also had an issue where I didn’t strain the tinted epoxy before adding the catalyst/second part and I ended up with dark spots where the tint hadn’t fully dissolved.

Pretty sure you can. As Mako said, make a small test batch (or two or three) to see as well as getting your ratio right.
Since you are after tint, a see through finish is fairly forgiving.

Well, considering I’m only planning on some tinted “putty,” I don’t think it’ll be that big of a deal.

I’ll let you know how it goes once I get my “fluorescent” tube mild-nightmare sorted out. Turns out I can’t get replacement bulbs in my state, and the LED ones I got are not working, so I’m bumming out over what’s turned into more than just replacing a bulb…

columbus took a chance goy a piece of plywood?
