FREE COLOR PACK WITH KIT PURCHASEAdd kit and the pigment or acid dye pack of your choice to your cart; discount automatically applied at checkout. Each color pack contains 6 level teaspoons of pigment. We do not recommend adding any more than 4 teaspoons of pigment to the 32 oz of the part B of the Spirit Line urethane, so one pack is enough to color 1 1/2 orders of the urethane which is sufficient for most of our kayaks and solo canoes.
