Begin making marble lines with a grayish black color of paint with a feather or a stick.

As you make lines, immediately spray with water then begin blending with a sponge or old t-shirt, until you get the desired ”marbling”.

• Resin time- I let the paint ”cure” for 24 hours before applying the resin to the top!

When applying resin, this is a good time to follow the directions on package insert!

•Wax-After assembling the table together, add the wax and your done!
