The West Systems epoxy marbelized in black and white had too much contrast for my taste so I sanded and added a layer of Diamondite with some black added to tone it down (too much). Then I sanded that down and added a coat of Helmsmans Spar Urethane. The marbeling ends up brighter or darker depending on the angle you're viewing it from.

They look a little exotic (or do I mean erotic).
