I wonder if you could mix in a piece of a Form card and mix to the colour you desire?
http://formcard.com/
Little purple or brown or black maybe?

To get rid of the white I just stuck some rubble on the outside and had as much epoxy facing inwards as possible. It dries rock hard so I'm sure it'll get covered eventually just like the rocks anyhow.

Those crads are a neat idea to have in the wallet. Just pop by your local coffee shop and ask for hot water and make stuff on the go. The cell phone holder video is cool
Theres a brand called InstaMorph that sells pigment beads. Not sue if they're reef safe though, the MSDS isn't very informative

Honestly this reef chrest stuff is like stupid you burn yourself from the hot water then you put in the tank and you have about 5 sec to do whatever you want to do.
Its probally the worst aquarium product of 2017

Oh dear.....guess you didnt read those directions eh? I think common sense in regards to the water temp might help a bit. Lol. I used a fork to grab the hot plastic out of the hot water...I didnt stick my fingers into recently heated water...

I found half of it stuck to the sides of the cup when I tried it.

I use a Cuisinart PerfecTemp kettle set to 160f, add water to a glass, scoop in some beads, scoop out beads when they turn clear. Never had an issue with being burned or having it stick to glass.

Water takes the heat from this really fast, it's just physics... best to work with it outside the tank unless you're a ninja
