Hi everyone!

    I'm new to the wonderful world of resins, and have been scared off
    trying the epoxy sort by dire health risk warnings - am going to
    start by trying the polyester resins instead (have heard they don't
    attack the body in the same way, plus have an odor so you can tell if
    your workspace is adequately ventilated...) BUT really love the
    colors I've found (Rio sells them for their 'colores' brand epoxy
    resin) for the epoxies, while my local plastics store (where I picked
    up all my stuff) had only basic colors for the poly resin...and Rio
    says I can't use the Colores colors on anything but epoxy. I am
    trying to get very very bright, almost fluorescent (but not quite)
    opaque colors. 

    Can anyone out there advise as to how I can do this for the poly
    resins? I'm pouring the resin into molds rather than painting on
    metal. 

    Thanks so much in advance...sorry this doesn't involve any metal per
    se, but the pieces will end up combined in the end! But I do know
    this is rather off-topic, so really do appreciate y'all letting me
    ask & do hope I'm not offending anyone :) 

    -Jessica, enjoying beautiful fall sunshine in San Francisco.
