it's clear........ so you might need to pait first. mix carefully to minimize bubbles....... pour in thinner layers as it dries better that way.......... you can also use some "transparent" paints to add more depth as well.

- I have used it with mixed results in the past - I was looking for more of an in depth kinda tutorial - like how does it differ from polyester resin? Can it be tinted with oil paint or acrylic? How do you know when to "sculpt" it - I know it will only hold it's shape in the last hour or so before it cures . I know that many people have had luck with it. Can you use Shep Paines foil trick with Epoxy resin as well as polyester resin? I appreciate your answer -I'm just hoping somebody ran acrossed a really in-depth tutorial.

Good links - thanks -I have seen some of them but I was really hoping for a real in depth step by step tutorial that was written about EnviroTex- Oh well - maybe I'll have to write it! I'm doing some tets now and we'll see how it turns out.
