Hello dear marbling friends Tomorrow would have been Christopher Weimann's birthday so I thought I share some of his work out of my collection with you. I...
Hi i will be starting marbling very soon. i would like to know which viscosity /grades of methocel need to be used to get good marbling. i spoke to Dow...
... Sorry for not replying sooner. I have been very busy remodeling my studio space. JM 5 is the best type of methyl cel to use for marbling. It mixes up...
Why methyl cel? Try carrageenan and stick to tradition your marbling will be real beautiful verses a muddy appearence. At least try both and develop your own...
there is nothing wrong with Meth Cel, just different, and the papers and colours don't have to be muddy either. Not sure where the original questioner is, but...
I way prefer carrageenan too. I think people like that Methyl Cel doesn't go bad, but I use only the amount of carrageenan I need in a day and don't save it. ...
Do you use acrylics? I haven't been able to make it work for watercolors much. I don't think it muddies anything in particular, just some like it better but I...
I think my point was simply that MC should not simply be dismissed. Tradtional Turkish marbling probably uses tragacanth ... not carageen. Each of us has to...
whatever works and makes you happy is what should be used.... I just wonder is there a certain type of MC or certain dilution that works well with watercolors....
I have just gotten started learning marbling, practicing a little on paper although my intention ultimately is to do my marbling on wooden objects. I decided...
Hi, I usually use methylcel for marbling. I tested recently carrageeenan again, but i couldn't recognize any big difference. I use water colors, but i dont use...
As in a mechanical dehumidifier? Depends on how clean your air is. Ever taste or smell the water dripping from your AC? Same difference. Junk in the air is...
I would think that the build up of calcium would cause a problem as well. Carole james tapley <jthandbook@...> wrote: As in a mechanical dehumidifier?...
Okey, picking up junk does seem like a consideration - but if the air in the house is relatively clean?..... Have any of you tried this - if so - what was...
Does not hurt to try, Maybe even boil it too. I have one in my tile drying room and I use the water for plants, its real pure water no dirt grime or oil. Hows...
hi all, i am alexander from germany and i am experimenting and experimenting but can't keep my colours from sinking. could anybody enlighten me ? this is what...
Maybe your oxgall is too weak. Generally that sold from "art companies" is very weak and diluted. Either use a lot more or try and get the concentrate, TALAS...
I think your size is too thick and your colors too concentrated. I use 12 g of carrageen for each 1.5 liters of water. When I used Windsor and Newton Gouache...
Hi, All, Do any list members know if the marbling exhibition that was at the Turkish House (?) in Boston is still open, and if so, for how long? Many thanks in...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has tried making a large marbling tray with fiberglass? I need to make a 5' x6' tray that is easy for me to move (common space...
Hi Melinda... I make my very large (work in the parking lot) trays with 1"x6"x10' clear pine, corners held with door hinges w/ removable pins, then line with...
When I lived in hot-n-humid east Texas I regularly used water from my dehumidifier for mixing size. There's no problem with calcium - the water you get really...
Dear Melinda, You can make a form and make your own fiberglass tray. Be sure and use a good vapor mask, eye protection and gloves. It's nasty stuff. If you...
Since we are on the subject of equipment, I appreciate suggestions for drying rack in a very small space. Pictures would be even better, please place them in...
