PREPARATION OF THE BATH:
Sprinkle 2 heaped tablespoons of thickener into 1 litre of cold water.
Mix vigorously with a beater and then allow to stand for at least 2 hours.
Next, spread a layer of the gel 1 to 2 cm thick into a flat tray or a container larger than the objects to be painted. CARRYING OUT MARBLING Using a dropper, carefully place the selected Marbling colours on the surface of the bath.
Let the drops spread for a few seconds before working them with a wooden stick, to get various patterns and marblings.
When the marbling is complete, gently place the side of the fabric or the paper to be painted, on the surface of the coloured bath.
Leave it lying for 10 to 15 seconds before pulling it out. Quickly rinse it under running water to remove the excess of gel.
Put the painted base on a flat surface and allow to dry before fixing by ironing if necessary.
