Can anyone tell me what to put in PR to colour it white. I checked at Michaels and all they have there are the 3 transparant dyes, and thats pretty much all they have.??????????

So you mean to tell me no one can tell me what to use.???? or did it just pass through the home page so fast that no one saw it. Help.

Could be a quick pass thru .. this is the first time I saw it.

There's white dyes out there, you might try US Composites or ArtStuf .. I've used
white from both of them and they work well.

Harbor Freight also has white powder coat powder that will work.

Thanks guy's much appreciated, we live 500 miles north of Vancouver BC and there an't a whole lot here for craft stores, so most everything comes out of the US.

If you want a pearled white, you can use Pearl-Ex, Pearlwhite at 1mL per 30mL of PR.

I am not positive this will work. Go to a local paint store ask for white paijt pigment. It works in polyester resin for jel coat and lay up.

Don't use enamel paint. It takes so much to get an opaque white it makes the PR brittle. NewLondon88 sent me some titanium oxide that works awesome (it's in my Christmas Colors blank).
