Chris69 , the blank is a Spinal series 2--300gram jigging blank at 5 ft 6 '' . the silver marbling is not pigment , it is auto metallic paint , I have been mucking around with it a while now to get it right , there is a bit of a trick to using it , so here is what I do , I get a small mixing cup and pour some straight out of the can ,then I add some auto thinners so it is not to runny , but thick enough so you can get a small blob on the end of a darning needle , then let the blob drop on the finish , now it will form a circle and the best part is with the tip of you needle you can move it around to how you want it , also it doe's not effect your finish , 2nd coat or first coat as it sinks in .Da Dar .
