Starbond's Top 3 Options for Matching Wood Colors!

For any makers out there, achieving the perfect color match isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about crafting a piece that endures and delights both in its appearance and its longevity. Starbond offers three innovative solutions that not only meet these needs but ensure your projects look seamless and professional.

The Importance of Color Matching in Woodworking

Color matching in woodworking can elevate a simple project to something truly spectacular. It involves not just the visual blending of hues but also the integration of textures and finishes that complement the wood’s natural beauty. This process enhances the overall durability and aesthetic coherence of the piece, ensuring that it looks as good years from now as it did on the day it was completed.

Here are your options:

1. Pre-mixed Colored Glues: Convenience Meets Customization

Starbond’s pre-mixed colored glues are a testament to convenience and quality. With options like brown and dark brown designed to blend seamlessly with most wood types, black for enhancing knots and accents, and white perfect for inlays and lettering, these glues are ready to use right out of the bottle. Boasting a shelf-life of up to 20 months, these glues ensure that you have reliable color consistency at your fingertips whenever you need it.

2. Pigment Powders: Tailored Perfection

For those who demand exact color matching, Starbond’s pigment powders offer the ultimate customization. These versatile pigments, available in both mica and matte finishes, can be easily mixed with CA glue or 5-minute epoxy to achieve the precise shade you need. With a mixing ratio of just 1 part pigment to 30 parts adhesive, these powders are not only cost-effective but also allow for subtle adjustments that can perfectly match even the most unusual wood colors.

3. Epoxy Putty + Wood Marker: Durable and Adaptable

Starbond’s new Industrial Epoxy Putty is a game-changer for heavy-duty repairs and alterations. Setting hard like concrete and ready for sanding in just 60 minutes, this putty can be paired with Starbond Wood Markers or mixed with our pigment powders to achieve any color necessary for your project. This solution is ideal for filling larger gaps or creating features that need to withstand significant wear and tear while still matching the surrounding wood.

The right color match can transform a woodworking project from good to great. Starbond’s range of colored glues, pigment powders, and epoxy putty ensure that whatever your project demands, you have the tools to achieve a flawless finish.

How to use CA Glue as a Wood Finish

First Time Buyer

The sanding discs cut quicker than my current brand and appear to last longer. I purchased these as part of the promo to try out the knot-filler system, which I have used, and it works exactly as advertised. These are great products that I will buy again.

Works well!

Although I only purchased two grits I know I’ll be getting more. So far they seem to last a bit longer than others I’ve used.
We’ll keep using these for a bit

Fill those gaps!

I’ve been making multi-wood charcuterie and carving boards. No matter how careful I am with glue-ups and clamping, there’s ALWAYS a small gap… or two… or three, between pieces. This where Starbond saves the day. It’s easy and incredibly fast to squeeze some Medium Brown into the gaps, spray on Starbond Accelerator, repeat if necessary, and feel confident that nobody but me will know there was ever a gap. Depending on the wood, I might use clear. If I want what I’m working on to be more dramatic, I sometimes use black on a knothole or crack.
I tried Starbond Glue for the first time several months ago, and even though I’m just a “hobbyist” woodworker, have re-ordered twice AND given some Starbond glues to a friend who’s a very fine woodworker. Now he’s a Starbond fan too!

Mother of pearl inlay flakes

Used these with Statbond CA glue to highlight the wide rim of a Monkey pod bowl with great results.

Very cool!

The mask and refills will keep me safe.

Filling cracks

Used the dark brown medium thick super glue to fill a crack in a spalted beech wood turning I was making and it worked great. Highly recommend the product.
