Pebeo Marbling Paints are specialist paints used for creating a glossy marbling effect. This versatile paint is suitable for use on light coloured and porous surfaces such as paper, fabric, wood, plaster and plastic.  Colours are intense, bright and vivid enabling the user to generate unique patterned designs.

Pebeo Marbling Bath is an additive used to thicken water before Pebeo Marbling Paint being added. Prepared in advance, the thickener bath solution enables more control and manipulation of colours and patterns when marbling. Pebeo Marbling Paints can be used without the use of Pebeo Marbling Bath resulting in a softer more pastel and less defined marbling effect. 

Instructions:
Prepare the thickening bath in advance by sprinkling  2 teaspoons of Pebeo Marbling Bath to 1 litre of cold water. mix vigorously with a whisk and leave to rest for 2 hours. Pour a layer of gel 1-2cm thick into a large tray.

Using the dropper built into the lid, carefully place selected Pebeo Marbling colours onto the surface of the bath. More contrast will be created by alternating both light and dark paint colours. Allow the drops to spread for a few seconds before working them with a stick. By orienting the colours in different ways, it is possible to obtain varied patterns and marbling: pebbles, and combed spots. Simply place the drops of colour one inside the other to obtain concentric spots.

Once the marbling has been created, carefully place the fabric or paper to be decorated, cut to size, on the surface of the coloured bath. Let it sit for 10 to 15 seconds before removing it. Rinse quickly under running water to remove excess gel + colour mixture. 

Place the decorated support on a flat surface and allow to air dry. This will take approximately 5 minutes.

Simple-shaped objects can also be decorated using Pebeo Marbling Paints, ensure all sides can come in contact with the coloured bath without immersing it, by carefully rotating the object on the surface of the bath. Allow to air dry. Clean up using warm soapy water.
