How to Magic Marble Fishing Rod Components - 4:31
Fill a Container with Cold Water First, get a disposable container that is large enough to submerge the entire fishing rod component that you want to marble. Then, fill the container with cold water. Make sure you have enough water for the rod component, but avoid filling container to the brim and spilling the displaced water.
Shake Up Paint and Drop Colors into Water Choose 3-4 color paints that will look good together and shake each color up before beginning application. Once you have shaken the paint colors, hold the bottle close to the water’s surface and begin dropping the colors into the container. Start with 2-3 drops of each color before adding more paint.
Swirl Paint Color for Marbled Design After the surface of the water is completely covered with paint colors, use a stir stick to slowly swirl the colors into the design of your choice.
Dip Fishing Rod Component When you’re ready to dip your rod component to add marbling, make sure you have a firm grip then gently, yet quickly push it under the water.
Clear Away Excess Paint from Surface While holding the component underwater, blow away the excess paint or use a paper towel to soak it up from the water.
Remove Rod Component to Dry With the surface clear of any excess paint, pull the rod component from the water and give it a few controlled shakes to remove any remaining water drops. Set the component aside to dry for at least 60 minutes and then you’ll have an awesome marbled design for your next custom fishing rod.
Whether marbling your Fishing Grips, Reel Seats, or Winding Checks, Mud Hole has you covered with all the rod components and Magic Marbling Colors to do it.
