Probably, but any time you add anything you will change the properties of the epoxy by some amount. So take it easy and add as little as possible to achieve the desired effect.

Powder / flakes work better for me. Check automotive flake additives. One company "Paint with Pearl" has a nice wide selection & they sell in smaller quantities to save you some $$

Most powders like Pearl X do VERY well, and do not adjust the properties of the finish like a liquid will. The Automotive paint powders are also great and work very well like Ken suggested.

Pearl X powders are fantastic!!! They will make marbling Jump. A very little is a lot! I add to the finish with a toothpick or stick when mixing. They can be picked up at craft store, etc [www.walmart.com]
