found pigments! But are they good

Hey guys. I just purchased some Pearl EX pigments made by Jacquard Products. Are these any good. They are in a powder form. Also, do i want to add the pigments (powder form) straight to the epoxy? I also purchased some liquid leaf in a couple different golds, silver, and brass. Are These OK for marbling?
As always, you guys are great. I really appreciate the help.
Sincerely,
Dan Colville

I know Putter uses Liquid Leaf. I believe it's the only gold he uses. The powder can be added directly to the epoxy. Putter has some of this stuff, but I haven't heard anything from him about how it is. He's currently traveling and I'll see him tonight. If he anything important to say about the Pearl EX pigments he can use my computer.

The nice thing about the Liquid Leaf is that the pigment can be brought out of the bottle without pouring off the solvents. Just let the solvent drip off the toothpick before adding the pigment to the epoxy.

The Jacquard's Pearl Ex work fine marbling as do all powdered pigments that I've tried.
