I responded to a thread recently with some info you might find interesting. I use this powder with epoxy for lots of filling situations. Click the link and scroll down to my post with the photo. In the photo you will se a dowel rod that I used to make some sample accent rings. I think they look really nice and sand and polish well.http://162.42.234.18/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=36196

I get all my stones and minerals from Great South Minerals and Gems and crush them myself using the mortar and pestle technique.
Some of my favorites are Malachite, Turquoise, Azurite and Calcite.
As long as you stay 6 or below on the Mohs hardness scale you'll be fine. It's more work this way but it's NATURAL and that's important to me.

You might try ground coffee, cinnamon, paprika, or anything else you might have in the spice cabinet. This is a cheap easy solution to inlay. See the red paprika bands below on a Faux Ivory and Snakeskin Set.

So are you saying I can color the CA with embossing powder before I use it to do inlay or glue tubes? Doesn't it change the hardening properties of the CA?

The way I do it to fix voids/mistakes, and will do it when I start inlays, is dump the powder or material in the hole (overflowing it) then fill it in with the thin ca and let it dry, shave it off with your best tool and then sand ect.... The ca is meant to bind stuff like this together so its all good.
