casting craft dye, any good?

[LeMarchand]

Need their amber color and was wondering how good it is. Do you need much dye to color the clear resin or is it quite potent.

thanks

Works great, and a little goes a long way.

The dye is fine, just not the resin.

I've used it with pretty good success... May need a few drops to get a richer color... How much resin are you using?

Yep, what Doug said.

Marc, call me on Monday.

There are 2 dyes from castin craft. The old stock and the new stock. The old stock is what you want. It is very thin and the color does not sit on the bottom of the bottle.
The new stock is also fairly thin, but the color seperates.
Most dealers will have both and you need to request the old stuff.
The manufacturer will help you track down a dealer who has old inventory if you ask them.
Also, smooth-on makes really good but expensive dye. It is called so-strong and in a full cup of clear resin you only need 1 drop for the equivelent of 50 drops of castin crap.
