Greetings,
I hope this is the right place to put this question. I really couldn't figure out where the best place to put this would be, as none of the forum sections really seem to fit. If I should have put this somewhere else I apologize.
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone knew where I might be able to find some metallic silver dye for resin? I'm looking to cast a few small things I've made in resin and I'd like them to look like metale, or at least just be silver in color, but I haven't had much luck finding anything. TAP Plastics didn't have any clue where I could find some metallic silver dye, and the only I could find online was some "nickel silver metal powder" at Smooth-On for $54 a pound. I don't need that much, and that's a bit expensive for my blood. I'd be happy with just a silver color, I can always make it shiny with glossy clear-coat if I really have to.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a cheaper metallic silver powder (or in smaller amounts)? Or perhaps just a cheap silver dye for resin, not necessarily a metal powder?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
