How do you dye acraglas?

I need to add some color to match the acraglas to some of my stocks.
I know Brownells sells dyes but is there an easy cheap source for doing this?

My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I use very fine walnut sanding dust. You could color it with any wood dust.....pick the color of wood you want and sand away....or use Brownells dyes. Use sparingly.....a little goes a long ways

I use an acrylid paint that artist use and it works fine for me. The burnt umber i have in front of me has a brand name of Liquitex, form Hobby Lobby. You can mix the colors to get what ya want!

Boat shops usually have dyes next to the epoxy. Use about 10% of what you think you will need.

A small tube will last you forever.
