add: 2% copper carb, 2% Nickel carb, 2% bentonite
the density of copcarb is 4 g/mL (nickcarb is 3) so it settles promptly
keep stirring for good colour.
this mix gives a foam-type appearnce with a glossy surface. it
has a gloss finish if the coat isn't too thick (otherwise it crawls due
to the high ZnO).
