    Use black oxide. Its powder they use to tint concrete. Mapei sell a range of epoxy tint, it come in little tubs with a paste/very thick paint consistency. I'd be surprised if resene couldn't get you some pigment as they sell a range of epoxy paint

    The whole point is using things readily available. I'm not waiting for shops to open. I may be able to shake a bit of black oxide out of my chalkline but this whole thing has to be a "kiwi as No8" and improvise with what I have on hand. If this goes well I'll do some more rifles with the proper stuff when I can get it.
