The site states that you need to mix in powdered pigments, not liquid or paste paints. If that's what you used, it is likely why your result didn't come out very well. Either too much moisture or the binders in the paint interfered with Durham's setting up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04293015424897393138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-14145451715875553562009-12-02T20:04:08.033-08:002009-12-02T20:04:08.033-08:00@ affliction

While you're probably right about why adding paint makes the material weak, I'd be tempted to try some ordinary food coloring in the mix.josefkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082824095195575519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-32140269193174751762009-12-02T17:19:14.943-08:002009-12-02T17:19:14.943-08:00Heck, Prop, the broken-up star stones look great, ...Heck, Prop, the broken-up star stones look great, more believable.
