OK, here's my twist on using Krylon Marbelizing Spray in black lava for webbing. If you use it directly, you get long stringy webs that don't look good. However, if you go to the thrift store and buy a couple of old tennis rackets (I paid $2 a piece) and spray through the racket strings, you don't get the long strings, but shorter webs that are more like what is sprayed in the factory. Depending on what you prefer, you can cut out every other string if you think a regular strung racket is too restrictive. I would recommend having a couple of rackets on hand to do this as the spray tends to clog the racket strings. Because of the clogging, the bigger the racket head the better. I'm happy with the results and I didn't have to mess with transferring the Krylon from the can to the spray gun, thinning and then cleaning the gun. After the webbing has dried for a couple of days, I wet sanded it a small section at a time and wiped it off with a clean damp rag. It also helps if you have a magic eraser handy if any black from the wet sanding remains on your base coat.
