OK, I am slowly getting a small amount of the needed items to try casting. I am trying to get an idea of what types of colorants I can use that I should be able to get localy. (Micheals, Harbor freight, etc.) I don't know where I read it, but I remember reading that you can use almost anything to color the PR for casting? (ex. powder coat paints.) I was looking at Micheals today and they only had a very small selection of the mica pearl pigments and needless to say, they were a bit pricey. I was wondering if some of you would share some everyday products that might be able to be purchased from a local art stores that I can use to color some PR. I am trying to get my feet wet without spending a ton of money. I also would like to know if anyone happens to know right off hand if "fiberglass resin" is or is not the same thing as casting resin just with a different label? Thanks for any help I can get!
P.S. I would like to try to pour something within the next few days, so I am not trying to order anything online at this time. I bought a small can of casting resin and a set of the liquid dyes but I don't think I am going to be able to get any really good colors from them!? I may be wrong though. he he
