Strip: Non Epoxy "fillers"

Hi. In an answer to a question I posted a day or two ago, a respondent mentioned that I could use some Durhams as a filler, if colored with dyes, etc. (thanks for that tip, by the way).

Today's question... Can I tint the Durhams by mixing it with saw dust? Also, I have some water based sanding sealer, and I have oil based pore filler. Can those be used under the epoxy/glass and can they be successfully tinted with saw dust? How about a paste mix of yellow glue with saw dust? If it isn't obvious, I have plenty of shades of saw dust, but no dyes, and have never seen anything but oil based stains at my local DIY and hardware stores - so, I'm not sure where I'd find those dyes in my pittiful community.

Thanks

Rick
