Coloring CA?

renowb · 02-09-2012, 11:27 AM

Are there any paints, dyes, etc that can be added to CA to color it? If so, will the CA strength be compromised? Thanks for comments, suggestions.

I think Monty sells black CA - if that helps.

CA is rather unstable, I think if you add anything it's going to harden, and perhaps harden while giving off a lot of heat and fumes. I know moisture hardens it, so you can't add acrylic paint, powder hardens it so you can't add powdered pigment.
