Marbeling Question !
Posted by: Tom Loucks (---.socal.res.rr.com)

I have a dark green fresh water blank I want to marble on the base.
The blank is the perfect color for the base of the marbeling and compliments the colors I will be marbeling. I need to know if I need to put down a base wrap to marble on or if I can marble directly on the blank (preferred).
Any input is appreciated.

Thank you,
Tom

Tom marble right on the blank. I assume you are talking about marbling pigment in rod finish correct?If you are magic marbling put down a white primer coat first to make the magic marble colors stand out more.

If you want the rod colour to show through your marbling, then lay down a layer of clear rod finish before you add the marbling colours. Lay down clear, while still wet, start your marbling.

You have multiple colors with Magic Marble Paint depending on base color. You can use the same paint for the top coat on mad-swirls but use different basecoats and have two completely different looking mad-swirls on top.
