hi mate, i think timbercon has them...

What about coloured oxide powders that they use in concrete and brickies cement available from builders hardware stores.

Thanks Mates

Could you please give me an address, webste, or e-mail of Timbercon.

Do you know if the 'builders hardware stores' sell these coloured powders in small quanities.

Thanks again,

MacS

I think you can buy it in bulk 25kg bags as well as about 500gram bags, ask Ozwinner he should know.

Here is Timbecon site

S. & S. Stimsons, 21 Mullens St Balmain NSW 2041 have a pretty good range. They are considerably cheaper than artists supply shops. Don't know who their supplier is.

Their Phone No. is +61 2 9810 1007

Hi Mates

I just realised Alex he's in the USA but he's asking about suppliers in Aust.

Let me try again, I am looking for "dry powder colors" that are used for doing furniture touch up, they are mixed with Shellac.

Sometimes, these powders are mixed with Shellac to produce an opaque color coating, they are also use for "padding with color."

I tried Timbercon, they only sell liquid dyes for making stains, I'm looking for the dry powder colors which are "normally" sold in small quantities like ozs.

I would appreciate any and all suppliers.

Thanking you in advance.

are yu after a yanky or aussi supplier, it makes all the diifference...

Thanks for your reply...

I want places that are in Australia.

I am writing a finishing article for one of your woodworking magazines.

I need to know where the readers will be able to buy these colored powders.

Thanks again.

And have a look at Water Dyes

By the way as a Patternmaker we used to colour shellac with Oxide Powders from builders hardware stores.

Thank you, I think Neil's water dyes are liquids and not powders, do you know for sure that they are powders ( I wish they are powders)

I will try checking out "builders hardware stores".

Thanks again,

MacS

Haymes Paints used to sell them.
