I am doing a weave where I made a small mistake and need to color some white threads to black. Is there a marker I can use that will be acceptable to use cp and epoxy on it afterwards?

Just guessing maybe a sharpie black permanent market would withstand CP and epoxy. For small patches anyway.

I believe india ink will also do the job.

Black ink from an ink jet printer maybe???

You'll probably want to do some testing for colorfastness before you put anything on your weave.

Good luck.

Get a black, fabric coloring pen from a sewing store. They are color fast and will be OK to cover with CP.

If you use a sharpie or any ink type pen, be careful because the ink will leach out from the pen and possibly color more threads than wanted.
I have used sharpies to color underwrap scrapes when repairing guides, this saves alot of time redoing a underwrap that will be covered with a guide wrap anyway.
Good Luck,
Jeff
