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.

Very Nice Ken...you've gotten better on the over spray!

Mark: Speaking of not visualizing...I'm not sure I get your idea about spraying up, but it's worth experimenting - I sprayed lots of that crap on primed scrap pieces trying to get it to spread out before coming up with the running/throwing/wind technique I use today. And you're right...it can dry out on the way to the surface - I think Ken's cutting it with lacquer thinner really helps in that regard.

That lacquer may not be available in the states...I remember talking acrylic lacquers for CCing with Lee at PinballRescue years ago and he indicated that he could still get the "old" lacquer down under that wasn't available in the USA anymore - seemed likely to me but I never verified that...

And I know you guys are talking about lacquer paint, but maybe the same restrictions apply, and that's why Wayne has had trouble making it work with what he calls "modern" lacquers?

Haha...yeah Ken, I found that out when I went to HF to buy one of those finally and the CLEARANCE sign was on the spot where those hung - but they were already out. I musta just missed them...and they had them marked down to $10!! Poop times two...

I bought a different one I hope works online...haven't had a chance to try it yet - been doing lotsa woodrails!

Nothing against PP, but I vastly prefer making my own stencils too...can't really say why - maybe the satisfaction coupled with the DIY money savings. But that doesn't really fully explain it to myself either...

Good point on the more complicated ones...however I'm doing a Bally Circus right now that is fairly complex - it's an interesting challenge to me. I guess that's another factor. I've traced the stencils, but not cut them yet...at this rate I won't doing this cab until spring anyways...it's been a long project, for various reasons: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Bh7UOuXR3bh2UDeE2
