Quoted from mark532011:

One of the scary things about cabinet repainting is the marbelizing many old pins have. Some bondo and paint can make an old cabinet look like new, but getting the marbelizing done can be tricky. There have been some threads reporting success and some that were unhappy, as well as do-it-yourself with glue and lacquer thinner. For those thinking of trying it or worried how it works, I made a video of my work on a Target Pool. It is easy to do too much and it came out a little more vivid/dark than the original but all in all I think its easier to do than I had expected.

Nicely produced video Mark thks.

Sometime ago I was steered on webbing by a recommendation in one of vids guides. This method uses classic or traditional lacquer which is able to be used straight out of the can without thinning. I like it because I prefer a more subtle rather than bold webbing.

The lacquer I use is marketed in Australian as Dulon.

So it goes straight into my touchup gun undiluted and after some clearing of the process from the gun then applied. The level of subtleness or boldness of the webbing is controlled by the application technique ie swift wave subtle bold slower wave. As I think others have commented it normally takes longer to clean the gun that to web a cabinet.

Ken I understand this classic lacquer may also have been referred to as nitro-cellulose lacquer and only really specialist stockists are likely to have it. I have tried modern acrylic lacquers using the same technique and they just do not web.

Quoted from Topcard:

Nice! This one and Ken's really duplicate the original more than any other. I've done the "karate chop" motion with the webbing spray, and if you do it fast, it works pretty well, and the brush method is okay too, but neither are as close as the laquer spray. I've really got to break down and try it on my next repaint.

On my observation the original GTB webbing varied between light and heavy on different games. Therefore in my view there is no perfect solution. It is ultimately in the hands of the restorer to determine their preferred solution.
