Hey Heiko,

Is this the Aquarail project you were telling me about? Aubergine... Hehe... sounds fun. Unless you want the woodgrain to show why not just paint it? Most manufactures should be able to mix just about any color you want. If you want the woodgrain, dye the wood and then epoxy over it.

BTW: When are you planning on posting finished pictures of your Guillemot? I know you're close! :)

: For my new project I am thinking of colorizing the resin I am going to use
: with
: colored paste (I want the next boat to be aubergine).

: Due to the kind of extravagant color I don't know how to realize this
: exactly.
: Will I be able to mix different color pastes to make the result look
: aubergine?
