On Mudhole's website, they show the magic marbling paint and the picture shows EVA and or cork being marbled. Is the picture wrong or can the magic marble paint be used on EVA or cork? Just curious since I haven't tried either one yet. Re: majic marbling

As the article pointed out, you can marble about anything including EVA and cork. There are some surface preparation steps for different materials, of course.

The 4 rods in the picture on Mudhole's site were all done over rigid pour foam. On the green rod, I turned the rear grip with eva, but the butt grip was done over rigid pour foam. Those were the very first rods I did after I got the technique figured out. I believe mudhole recently sent out an email, and in the email it showed it over cork.
Nonetheless, a Mad-Swirl can be done over wood, eva, cork, etc. I've done it over all of them, and I know of a few builders doing them over wood. I typically do mine over rigid pour foam. It can be used on reel seats, blanks, and whatnot. The key is to prep the item correctly. If doing grips, you need to make sure you have a smooth surface. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a shout. 502.439.4123. Here is a video I did about the time my article ran. There were a lot of questions after the article about the process because I covered both the borax method and use of magic marble to achieve a mad-swirl. This video was done just to demonstrate how it works and how simple magic marble is, but does not list all the steps. In the videos, I do a mad-swirl over cork. I haven't used the borax method since I found magic marble paint. Magic Marble is super simple to use. [www.facebook.com] Jeremy Reed Reed Rods Edited 1 time(s).

Just to note, the magic marble will need a protective coating. I've used magic marble over rigid foam, eva, and cork on freshwater rods and I haven't had any issues. I know there are some guys out there trying it with surf rods, with rod holders, and whatnot, but I haven't followed up with them to see if they are having any issues. Re: majic marbling

Thanks for the reply. If you have cork seal on will that work as a prep? Then what is normally the protective coating after marbling. Will a spray polyurethane work? Re: majic marbling

Will a > spray polyurethane work? you will need to fill pores/pits with something like wood putty on cork, or thread finish then prime. For a protective coat on grips, I use the epoxy sold by riley rods, but thread finish will also work. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
