Marbelizing questions

How much epoxy would one use in ratio to paint for this process.I am guessing you add paint until you get the desired color. Do you need a large amount of epoxy? Thank you

The amount of epoxy needed depends on how large an area you plan to cover. In my limited experience, it goes a long way. You shouldn't add "paint" to epoxy. What you need to add is pigment, paint is pigment plus thinner. If you using Testor's model paint, let the botle stand for a day or two so the pigment and thinner separate, then pour off as much thinner as possible. All you want is the thick pigment. What out though, it's addicting and your pretty soon you end up like Putter and Mike Barkley and nothing in your neighborhood is safe from being marbled. LOL

A few drops of pigment is usually all that is required. Even the lighter colors don't require much.
