Q: We purchase gallons of Red & White padding compound, but sometimes customers want different colors. Is there any way to color or tint the white padding compound to get Blue, Green or Orange padding compound?”
A: The common colors that CFS carries are red and white padding compound, with the red being mixed at the manufacturer. However, you can always change the color of the white by adding a Water-based Food Coloring. We recommend an industrial water-based food coloring and some trial and error. Put on your mad scientist cap and have fun experimenting with it.
