: The epoxy will not really darken the Durhams, you get what you see.
: The darker color you got with s/g was wood flour mixed into epoxy, right?
: Durham's isn't going to absorb epoxy like that, with Durhams' you need to get
: the color where you want it before it dries on the boat.
: Maybe try a marker or something to color the filler in place.
: I have not tried it myself because of fear of how it might affect/react with
: epoxy but maybe somebody has done it. Seems somebody on this board has
: already tried every hair brained thing I've thought of in the past.

Like I said, my Durhams is mixed 1:1 with wood flour...
