Cadence Marbling Paint is versatile and can be used on a variety of surfaces, including wood, glass, metal, ceramics, and even canvas. It is ideal for adding a sophisticated, marble-like finish to your projects.
To create beautiful marbled effects using Cadence Marbling Paint, follow these simple steps:
Prepare the Water: Start by filling a shallow tray or container with water. This will be the surface on which you’ll float your marbling paint.
Thicken the Water: To achieve the ideal consistency for marbling, you'll need to thicken the water using Cadence Gum Tragacanth. Add a small amount (about 1 teaspoon per liter of water) of Gum Tragacanth into the water and mix well. This will help the paint float on the surface and create a more defined marbled effect.
Prepare the Paint: Shake the Cadence Marbling Paint thoroughly. Using a dropper or brush, add the marbling paint directly to the surface of the water. You'll see the vibrant colours spread and float.
Create the Marbled Effect: Once the paint is floating on the water's surface, use a comb or skewer to gently swirl the paint, creating the marbled pattern. You can layer different colours to achieve the desired effect.
Dip Your Surface: Carefully dip the object you want to marble (like paper, wood, or fabric) into the water at a slight angle. Allow the surface to come into contact with the floating paint, and then gently lift it out.
Let It Dry: Place your marbled item on a flat surface to dry. You'll be left with a stunning marbled design that’s unique and beautiful!
Tip: For the best results, ensure your marbling water is thick enough to allow the paint to float and swirl. Using Cadence Gum Tragacanth helps create the perfect consistency for flawless marbling.
