I read somewhere that epoxy can be colored somehow to fill in around file work on the tang of a knife that has had file work done... Can someone tell me how to color the epoxy?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can use any industrial dye but most knife supplies sell colorants, I got some form texas knife supply
 
Testors model paint. Comes in one zillion colors. I like black. Only takes dipping a toothpick in the paint, then mixing the epoxy w/ the toothpick. Does not seem to affect set time or hardness.
 
Once again I will post that if you want to dye epoxy....use an epoxy dye/colorant. Lots of things ( like model paint) will color the epoxy, but also can/will affect the hardness and longevity of the cured epoxy. The K&G colorants are superb for our purposes.
