Painting Toys
Seeking any advice on painting childrens toys. Are there any suitable non-toxic paints. Non-toxic acrylics are available, but I'm told they're not very durable. Food colouring doesn't have the range of colours I need and might be murky on darker woods. Are ordinary oil paints and clear finishes toxic? TIA

Alex,
have a look at the following link for dyes.
Ubeaut dyes
Never used them myself but have seen the results and they speak for themselves.
Regards,
Mark

I'd like to second Soundmans plug for Neils book. I also got it from Neil at the show and have just finished reading it (I will be reading/refering to it a lot in the future as well). Everything you want to know about finishing/staining/colouring/effects/etc/etc.
Great Book Neil!! (gRovel gRovel) #Gees Wayne, if you are gonna do it spell it right
