<p>Hi as Brian Q, says Marbling would be a better option for the effect you are looking for on a wooden box. But still I would seal the timber, cos' when timber gets wet it raises the grain and could spoil the effect, maybe, I haven't tried it.</p>

<p><span>You’ll wanna Prime it beforehand if you’re marbling the whole thing? But, if you’re doing a partial section or sections, then you’ll need to Prime & Paint first? Good luck, Hope this helps :)</span></p>

<p>Hi SM, an interesting idea.My understanding of this technique is that the guitar (solid body) is dipped into a solution that carries the paint droplets.</p>
<p>With a hollow wooden box that would mean sealing off soundhole/s and other cavities. And I wonder how glue joints will stand up the the dunking in a fluid.</p>
<p>Anyway if you find a way around the above, to answer your question...... As with any paint job prep is the key, the better surface being painted the better the final finish.…</p>

<p>I would also test on a scrap piece of similar softwood. <br/> Good luck, let us know the outcome.<br/> Taff</p>
