Interesting, more controlable than salt weathering for smaller areas or less dramatic effect, and we always have lots of Vegemite and Marmite in the cupboard. Might give it a try.

Thanks very much

Here's a tutorial that I found on using Marmite for weathering:

I've tried it and really like the results. Here's a photo I dug up of the first test run that I did (a little overdone, but a nice looking effect):

That's new one on me. What I have heard - and am NOT recommending - is using Vaseline as a masking agent.

I use rattle cans and, while it kept MOST of the paint off the the protected area, a lot of paint seeped in at the edges and it took hours to get the stuff off.

Post-It notes cut to shape and blue 3m masking tape and old newspapers work a lot better

Marmite and Masking?
Posted by Leddy on Saturday, October 23, 2010 4:46 AM

Has anyone heard of the English spread Marmite being used as a mask to show underlying paint?  It is put on lightly, painted over, and then washed off to show the underlying paint surface

Thanks!
