Epoxy Pigment.

[mike ash]

I posted about a bunch of salad bowls I just completed and several folks asked how I was coloring the epoxy. I found some pigment at a plastics store a number of years ago. I bought several colors, but ended up liking the turquoise color the best as it just seems to look best with natural wood. I ran out to my shop and looked at the little bottle and see that is TAP premium pigment. You can google it and go from there!

Here are a couple to show the coloring.

Looks great, Mike, but could you tell us how you installed the bowties? They are a nice feature of the "patch". Phil

I discussed "MY" technique for the butterfles in the post "A Bunch of Salad Bowls" #10.

Mike,
Thanks for the tip on the pigment. Both these bowls are very nice, but the one with the bow-ties is better than nice, it is super. The additional medium takes the bowl from nice to, what a great artful addition to make it an exceptional piece. Thanks for sharing.
