Marabu EASY MARBLE 15ml

Description

• Creating marble effects, easier than ever before: Drip, dip, done
• Available in attractive, fresh colours
• Quick-drying
• Ideal for creating immersion marble effects on plastic, glass, acrylic plastic, wood, papier mâché, blown eggs, metal, polystyrene and for marble effects on paper.
• We recommend wearing rubber gloves and an apron or similar when working with easy marble.
• Easy marble is not suitable for colouring food.
• The original easy marble shade can only be achieved on white materials. The darker backgrounds of materials such as wood, papier mâché, etc. will make the colours appear darker.

• Marble effects can be created on paper up to DIN A5 with easy marble using just water, without a special marble effect base coat.
• Rice paper and other absorbent papers produce particularly beautiful effects.
• Instead of immersing it, gently place the paper on the surface of the water, let it absorb the water briefly and then remove it carefully.
• Smooth papers have to be dragged below the surface of the water during removal to prevent a second layer of paint from settling.
• Wallpaper paste should be used as a marble effect base coat for paper formats between DIN A5 and DIN A4. This prevents the paper from sinking too fast and also allows exact marble effect patterns.

• Marble effects on water can also be achieved on small sections of silk and thin fabrics up to DIN A5.
• We recommend a wallpaper paste bath for larger sizes between DIN A5 and DIN A4.
• Always carry out a patch test for silk and fabrics, as not all fabrics are suitable.
• Both materials with marble effects are not washable.

• Whisk 1 level tablespoon of wallpaper paste into 1 litre of cold water.
• Leave to soak over night.

1. Place the wallpaper paste into a shallow bowl.
2. Break up any air bubbles in the marble effect base with a needle to avoid the bubbles from transferring onto the paper/silk/fabric.
3. Drip the paint onto the surface of the paste directly from the drip jar. 2-3 colours are ideal. The more colour you use the more intensive the marble effect will be.
4. The colour intensity of easy marble depends on the size of the water container and the amount of paint applied.
5. Immediately use a wooden stick (tooth pick) or a comb to create a marble effect pattern.
6. Now gently place the paper/silk/fabric on the pattern.
7. For fabrics and absorbent papers, wait for a moment to let the material absorb the paint.
8. Now slowly remove the paper/silk/fabric from the marble effect base and immediately rinse off any excess paste under running cold water.
9. Do not rub. Leave to dry. Finished!

• Afterwards carefully remove the entire excess paint film with a sheet of paper (using a paper edge).
• Paint residue on the surface of the water prevents the new colour from spreading evenly.
• Replace the paste bath after approx. 7-10 marble effect cycles.
• Marabu Cleaner & Thinner or turpentine substitute can be used for cleaning the tools used for creating marble effects with easy marble.

• Fill container (e.g. a large yoghurt container) with cold water.
• Ensure that the container is large enough to immerse the entire object.
• The container cannot be re-used for other purposes after being used for the marble effect as it will not be possible to clean it completely.
• Use white spirit to clean the object before applying marble effects with easy marble Glas and Metal.
• Place the object (e.g. ball) on a wooden stick (toothpick).
