Epoxy Stick Color Mixing Guide
The colors shown here digitized simulations (but pretty darn close) of the actual colors of the epoxy stick, cured, sanded, and topcoated with lacquer. Those marked A, B, C, D, E, and F are stock colors, not mixed with any other color.
The colors indicated by a number and a letter, a hyphen, and another number and letter are combinations of the 6 basic colors, in the proportions indicated. For example, 1A-3B means one part of color A (Oak/Lt.Walnut) and 3 parts of color B (Walnut).
The portions were established by linear measurements of the stick itself. The stick was divided in 1/8" inch slices, with each slice representing 1 part. For each combination shown we used 4 parts. For small amounts, you can further subdivide the slices into 4 quarters.
This method of measuring out the portions is easy, requires no special equipment, and can be done fairly accurately by eye alone, although measuring the stick with a ruler is preferred.
Mixing the colors in this way insures that the correct amount of colorant is present in the mix, and that the properties of the stick are not affected by excess colorant. There is minimal transfer of color to the technician's hands, no necessity to add messy colorants.
