Slowly swirl the mixtures together using a skewer.
Do not blend thoroughly; you want streaks of color to create the marbled effect.
Place a foam adhesive circle into one end of each copper coupling to act as a stopper.
Submerge the couplings foam side down about halfway into the filled mold.
Let dry 24 hours before removing the mold.
Set up the menorah with the shamash in the center and four bases on each side.
Each candle is lit from the shamash.
