It darkens when glassing.

Color went from a cream to a mahogney brown. Not exactly chocolate dark western red but close enough for me.

: I used about a 1:1 volume mixture of durhams water putty to wood flour to
: fill small gaps in my return. color is only a creamish.

: will epoxy (when I glass the hull) turn the filler to dark chocolate color
: like wood flour normally does as fillet material on a S&G boat? I need the
: dark color and don't want to have to pick the filler out now that its in
: and ready for glass.
