I usually put the base coat on and wait 15 min or so before marbling (LS Supreme Hi Build) Like Tom said too thin and it's going to blend. I leave the base color in the mixing cup and do my other colors on foil. I find that waiting about 15 minutes gives me thw consistancy that I prefer.

Keep in mind that marbleing is strictly personal. Some like stark contrasts other like more muted "cloud" like blends. There is no right or wrong way. Get some old rod pieces or dowels painted black and play!! I know Putter and I both have gone through a lot of old blank pieces and scrap.
