Epoxy and Hard Head coloring
 

Yeah, all tht stufff is a water based, polymer-acrylic product. Might not
curdle the epoxy but like acrylic paint from Michael's it reduces the
viscosity of the epoxy mix. Tried some deer hair back/white epoxy crabs,
the colored epoxy drooled through the crab bodies, looked like something off
Frankenstein's monster grimace.

Have you thought of looking to _epoxy_/polymer tile grout colorant?
IIRC, you are in the DFW area, and there are several sources around the
Metroplex. Mapei is one maker of the grout system, and their products
are called "Kerapoxy," and IIRC, "Ultra-color," but be warned that 'net
research on it is liable to be a bit frustrating, as the product itself
isn't _quite_ a widely-available DIY thing yet. IIRC, Lowe's carries
_some_ epoxy grout materials, and that might be a place to start, but
you might get lucky with tile stores giving you a sample to try.

First, please don't top-post. That said, I'm not referring to the gel
style colorants, but rather, the powdered type. Shepherd
(www.shepherdcolor.com) might be a source. If all else fails, you might
try coloring the epoxy by whatever method, but waiting until it _begins_
to cure to apply/shape.
