Hello,
Should be an interesting result. Additionally a marbeling medium coukd be used. I would suggest some sort of sealer for a protected finish. Acrylic can soften if exposed to moisture- I often use a glass or ceramic plate as an acrylic palette and the crusted paint is moistened and scraped off.

Basically, you just need to make sure the surface of your table is clean and slightly rough (sanded) to make sure the paint will stick. Absolutely use gloves and as much drop cloth as necessary as this gets REALLY messy. Check out YouTube videos on 'dirty pour painting' to check the additives/ratios you might want to use. Once the table is dry, if it's going to be used a lot, make sure you seal it. There are a number of products. Polyurethane spray is really easy to use, just follow the directions. For smaller projects, Mod Podge will work, too.
