: i have purple heart trim all over the boat. i got about half FILM CANISETR
: FULL OF READ AN BLUE, HOW MUCH DID YOU USE?

: i am only coloring the hatch lips, so i will mix only a small amount of
: resin.
The product that I have is like a paste, I stuck a coffee stirrer into the paste,then mixed into the RESIN until enough color disolved, then on to another color, same method, 'till the shade that I wanted appeared. Mix in the hardener after you get the correct shade. A very small dab of color was all that it took. Adding white produced a more opaque color, without white, the effect is more translucent.
Enjoy,
Steve
