carroz, Araldite isn't that expensive, why not experiment? Probably best to do outside in case of fumes. I would try red touch up paint for a car, maybe some food colouring, perhaps some poster or powder colour - I wouldn't think it will take long to find something that works.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I don't know how you would get on longevity wise, but I bet you'd get away for some time with some car touch up or a little tin of enamel painted over the araldite too, if you have to touch it up from time to time it wouldn't be a disaster would it? Maybe see what you come up with and then post back here to possibly assist others?

Megamum, How about cutting your finger on the edges and dripping it into the glue

Yes it can.
Used to add plastic powder of the desired colour to make the desired repair.
Anything that may react is not a good idea.
can't remember what it was called (Been about 30 years) but I expect you may be able to get a resin powder from somewhere.
Regards

Pigment for gelcoat will work with araldite.
Search Ebay for 'Red Pigment For Epoxy Gelcoat'.

very very tiny bit of food colouring powder worked really well, araldite has set as normal and seems fine. Result!
Thanks all for help
