Shallow plastic storage bin
A clear, low-profile container that holds just enough liquid depth for paper marbling without waste. The shallow design creates even surface tension across the entire working area.
What to look for
- 12-4 inches deep (deeper wastes marbling medium, shallower creates uneven patterns)
- 2Clear sides so you can monitor sediment and liquid clarity
- 3Smooth interior with no ridges or texture that would disrupt patterns
- 4At least 12x16 inches to accommodate standard paper sizes
Skip
- Tall bins marketed for bulk storage—you'll waste gallons of starch mixture
- Colored plastic that makes it hard to see when liquid needs changing
Used for: Paper marbling with controlled liquid depth · Monitoring sediment buildup during dyeing · Creating even surface tension for pattern transfer
