    Which epoxy and pigment ?

    I am currently building an oak frame for a bathroom mirror. In the frame I will be inlaying colored epoxy. The oak frame and the groove for the epoxy will be painted brown. The epoxy I plan to pour in will likely be tinted light blue or I may stay with clear. Does anyone have a experience...

    Grizzly tools touch up paint

    I recently purchased a used Grizzly G1018 jointer. Right now it's completely disassembled for cleaning and awaiting a few new parts to fine tune it. I now have decided to re-paint the stand and jointer prior to reassembly. Has anyone out there with an older Grizzly tool (approx 1995-2000)...

    Color and clear shellac order of application question

    I am getting dangerously close to the end of my wide dresser project and have laid down the first coat of platina shellac to seal everything off. I also plan to add 1-2 coats of orange shellac for some warming effect but I need to know if I can then top-coat that with the platina for depth...

    Shellac color consistency?

    Is color across different shellac sellers pretty consistent, or is there likely to be noticeable color differences between say J.E. Moser orange shellac and Shellac Finishes' orange shellac? I realize it is a natural product so there probably is differences just between batches of the same...

    How would or do you go about color matching?

    I have a straight forward project that requires me to do some color matching - makes the new parts the same color and finish as the old parts. In this case I could take the piece to the paint/stain place to be scanned, so I may actually do that. What if I could not scan an existing piece...

    Purple Heart color

    Thought I'd put this up for ideas, comments, or whatever may come. I've just started working with the first piece of Purple Heart I've played with. I notice that when cut, the exposed surfaces are actually somewhat brown, and it appears that over the next hours to a day, the purple color...

    Another comment from sediener with off-color intimations... http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f30/show-me-your-chisel-racks-16134/ I think that if this is a family site as Steve suggests, he shouldn't be making this kind of "joke" Ray

    Happened to be reading Sept 2006 issue of Wood last night before going to sleep and on page 54 there is an article about using toner to blend or match finished colors.
