Description
The first step in making a marbled pattern is dispersing paint onto the marbling bath. These tools were used by Skycraft and Townes to disperse paint spray on various size tanks. The fan brush and shortened sword hilt with wooden dowel were sufficient for tapping colors onto a small tank, but their 10-foot tank required a swifter method. For this they devised variants of this hairbrush crank tool with plastic bottle reservoir.
