Cheap Marbling Epoxy and Pigment

[1984isNOW]

I was thinking of using Devcon 2 Ton epoxy as my marbling base, with mica powder as the pigment.

 

Just trying to add some flare behind the reel seat cheap. Grateful for any input

One thing I found in marbling is to use an epoxy that sets up faster than finish.
You will need a little time to mess around with it.
I havent tried a lot of different ones but I do like FlexCoats RodBuilding Epoxy.
The Devcon looks like is might be a good match.

Okay cool, I can dig it. I'm gonna give it a go and I'll let letchya know the results.

 

I'm also gonna give it a go as a jig paint, epoxy and pigment - skip the painting and go right to the top coat that is already colored

I've only done marbling with all finish epoxy. How do you do it with regular epoxy?

I'll give it a try and let you know haha, I'm doubly using the devcon 2t as a jig head top coat so figured I'd try it for marbling.

 

I got a cheap rod I'm going to test it on.

 

I'll post results when I get the chance
