Pigments for casting

[schaf]

G'day,

New to casting and about to try my hand.

Finding inexpensive pigments here in Australia is my problem ( or should I say ,getting value for money ).

I am going to cast polyurthane resin, which is white in color when set. Is this the same as what you folks in the States call Alumilite.

In your opinion,what is marketed as "polyester resin pigment", compatible with polyurthane resin. I can buy these much cheaper than urthane pigments.

Any advice would be appreciated.

many thanks

Terry

Terry,

Alumilite is a manufacturer of Polyurethane resins, some of which are clear, some white and I believe some are black.
