The product release of Diamondite Marbling Kit

Swifty Manufacturing is pleased to release our Marbling Kits for sale for the first time. It was a product that I had been working on for the last 2 years and am extremely happy with the results. The Diamondite Marbling Kit was a sell out at the show.

It is a true pigment that is dispersed in a base that is common to all of the epoxy rod finishes and my Diamondite Rod Finish. It is highly concentrated and will not dry out or cure without the addition of Rod Finish. It has a 100% dispersion factor and 100% opacity. The colors can be mixed to make any color you may need. One of the most important factors is that when you colorize your finish, you are not adding anything foreign to your finish which changes the curing time, hardness and longevity of the product. Some of the current products being used do not allow the Rod Finish to cure correctly or completely and some even shorten the longevity of your work. The Diamondite Marbling Kit comes with eight ½ ounce bottles of coloring agent. The samples I had at the show were clean, opaque and uniform. The builders that have been using it are extremely happy with the color and simplicity of use. I truly am excited to see some of the new uses of our new coloring agent and see the creative minds engage this product. I have attached the official press release. [www.swiftymfg.com]

Look for it at all of your favorite places to shop!

Bob at Custom Tackle has a FEW of the kit, but not many ... get it quickly. We had some at High Point that did go back to the shop, hopefully they are still available.

Tim,

Seeing those samples sold me on the spot!! I bought a kit that afternoon. I build rods for children, and have been spray painting them. I think my spray painting days may be over!! I'll keep you posted.

I'd love to see a few pictures of what a finished rod looks like with the marbling kits used.
