Paints mixed into Epoxy

[chefchris401]

Use testors paints

Pour off the thinner and use the concentrated pigments on the bottom.

Mix a little in with epoxy.

Google how they do marble rods, same concept but without the swirling technique

I did it last year with black pigment mixed
Into the epoxy over all black plugs.

Lots of options.

Plus some cool techinques if you use the swirling idea on a spinner or I use a piece of plastic wrap and dap the paint.

If you look in the rod building forum there's a century rod I built using the above method, looks like green marble.

I ask because I'm building a rod for a buddy and this might be a good transition from the top of the grip. The rod is a black/gold theme and the marbling effect would really tie things together.

I think there are some threads in places that explain this, I'll have to do some google-ing this weekend to find it.

Nice marbling job on that rod, Chris.
