Saltydog, your welcome, they have a few other kits that do similar stuff, they are cheap too, and a little paint goes a long way.

You'll get better results with one of those crafting sponges with the open pores, I used a regular dish sponge.

Nice effect!

I experimented with something similar a while back using old metallic powders I had sitting around. I applied some after the paint and epoxied over it. Any that was exposed to the salt water turned an interesting patina green. (You can see a tiny bit in the first pic)

I may try some more experiments this Winter with them.
