Marbling is the ancient art of floating paint on the surface of thickened water (known as the “marbling size”) and then transferring this floating design onto paper or fabric. It has a rich history throughout Europe and Asia.
Jacquard’s marbling system (available in the Jacquard Marbling Kit) eliminates the guess work that is typically associated with marbling and allows even beginners to achieve professional-quality results. All Jacquard’s Marbling Colors spread equally on the marbling size and produce the most intense colors possible. On fabric, the Marbling Colors are soft to the touch and completely washfast after heat-setting. On other porous and semi-porous surfaces, the paints have excellent adhesion.

I live in Kenya and unfortunately can't find your Products here. Can I use any brand of Acrylic Paints and Alum please

[@luthieriadobranco8644]

alright !!!! please I'm trying to make a swirl rm guitar by immersion, but when I dip the drawing ink it doesn't stick to the guitar it runs !!!! please which primer or foundation should i use for this purpose? thank you so much

[@jacquardproducts]

Are you using Jacquard Marbling Colors? And have you treated the guitar with Alum? If you write to [e-mail] we can offer in-depth advice for your project.

Can you only use the emulsion once or can you do one design after another? I don't know how to ask the question clearly, but do you have to refresh the emulsion per design or can you use it again, like the emulsion u make in the big jar, if u use all of it in one tray, can you only do one design? Or can I just continue designing after i'm done with one?

[@jacquardproducts]

You can use it over and over again. After several dozen prints, it may start to look "dirty" and then you can change it out, but people make many, many prints without refreshing it.

another thing what is the name of the alum I am looking for in portuguese brazil? How should I splicate the alum on top of the guitar primer to make the dip?

[@jacquardproducts]

Potassium Aluminum Sulfate is what you need

[@luthieriadobranco8644]

yes I work with your paints !!! how should i treat the guitar after prime it? I pass the alum with a cloth and let it dry for how long? would that be enough to fully adhere to the immersion? very good
