I saw some tint for varnish that might work in the epoxy. Then again ...
I use Createx mostly and will probably do well just to stay with what works for me.
This info is why I shop here first before going to the store

Dang it. Now ya'll have got me thinking about this.

What about some of the pastel chalk like artists use? If it could be ground up into a sort of dust it might work.

I understand working thru a problem. But you guys are just knocking your brains out. Just find the right paint.

If you are trying to get a base of yellow without losing the shine of the foil, I like the way colored tissue paper works over the foil. Obviously you will be limitted by the shades of yellow paper you can find.

A friend recently bought some very fine, shiney pigment for working with polymer clay when we were in hobby lobby. It's almost like glitter, except a thousand times finer. I suppose it could be the metalic flake thats in pearlescent paints. Anybody tried mixing this stuff with epoxy/ e tech?

I have used that glitter and used it in conjunction with devcon, if you are talking about the polymer stuff. It works beautifully and lays down smooth.
