Brass/bronze filler

Can anyone assist me with finding a brass or bronze epoxy type filler? I know that colour additives for resin are available .....has anyone tried them?

I've used the very fine powdered fillers which you mix with epoxy or resin but only the aluminium which comes out very well and looks just like polished metal. Biggest problem I see is that there are so many shades of brass and bronze you may not get an exact colour match.

I have collected over the past few years 3 round boiled sweet tins; one ea. for brass / cast iron / aluminium filings that on occasions I have used to mix with 2 part epoxy resin to fill blow holes & the like. Cast iron filings work particularly well leaving a barely discernable difference. As mentioned brass can vary in shade so are visible in most cases. Larger brass chippings can be used to temper / blue small items... see Clickspring's site where he shows an example of bluing tiny screws. I have used Aluminium too but that shows a difference on shading too, more like a 'chilled' spot as in Cast iron,again due to different grades, they all do the job & if you're painting afterwards, who's to know?

Sorry to be so effusive about the "thanks", not sure how that happened.

When I've tried fine bass filings in epoxy in the past, they just seem to turn black. Suppose it's the acid / or alkeline reaction. Just never had much success I'm afraid. Sorry - not much help I know
