Howzit guys, I do a lot of epoxy marbling and I often get request for light color's, the blanks I use are black so I've been mixing a batch of epoxy, adding white or light color pigment and applying a base coat before doing the actual marbling.
This proses is time consuming and uses a lot of epoxy, have any of you tried any quicker drying primer to apply under the section to be marbled that's not epoxy?

Try a base of NCP thread that is close in color to that of the epoxy. The tricky part will be having the epoxy completely cover the thread but stay even with the edge.

I'm marbling a lot of large custom gaffs. over 1" OD just ceriious if normal kine paint primer would work.

Jesse, Use Creat-X auto air brush paint. Its water based , dries quick, and if you can think of a color they have it.
As a base coat all you have to do is brush it on(no need for an air-brush), use a heat gun to set it dry, then you can start your process of marbling. NOTE: I would scuff the area with Scotch Brite before painting for a good bite.
I've been using it for years to paint blanks and it works great.
