Marbling fade

Picked up some testers enamel marbling paint today. I'm going to mess around with it but if anyone had some advice on how to face one color into another I would appreciate it. Add a little heat? Going to paint like 2 inches of green and then 2 inches of yellow and 2 inches of red and would like to make the transition "soft".

Thanks!

Make test strips first .... Were the two colors come together ,you may try a couple drops of thinner and work it . If you are mixing the paint in the epoxy than i would try to push /pull the colors and blend together for a fade joe

You can do this by varying the amount of time between the application of different colored epoxy. The quicker in the pot life of any colors you apply, the more "melding" of the color lines will be. The later you do this, the "harder" the color line will be. Do it too soon and you'll tend to get a complete blending of the two colors. You just have to find the right time window for applying the next color. This may require some practice.
