Quoted from Stoomer:Interesting...Krylon is calling their "webbing" spray "marbleizing" spray now, eh? Anyways...hopefully you don't get too much flack from the "webbing too heavy" folks on here - but the reason people started using the other methods you talk about was so they could get thinner webbing.
I bought many cans of this Krylon product years ago before Ken came up with his lacquer thinner method, and since I'm crotchety, set in my ways, and demonstrably cheap, I still use these spray cans.
If you or anyone else would like thinner webbing results than you showed in this video, you can make the cans do that too by using very fast arm motions. I've even run up to the cabinet and spray on the way by to spread out the paint better. Also, wind can help you stand further from the piece and throw the strands at cabinet...or a powerful fan.
Basically, the idea is to spread the paint out as much as possible before it hits the surface, and that velocity allows it to "spatter-spread" when it hits, further enhancing the effect.
It's not the amount of webbing. It's the thickness of the webbing. And spray cans just are too thick.
I still have good luck with the good old Weiler brush. No thinning or mixing. Plain old Americana lamp black right out of the bottle. Doesn't take long once you get the technique down
