Patch, that’s all resin tint and pigment work. You could get close to this by painting a board, but tinting the resin gives the colors a depth and a shine that painting on foam can’t match. Doing opaques with resin are solid so you don’t get the texture of the foam showing at all.

Great concept huh?

I’ve never worked with resin tints and pigment but would love to explore with it, I’d love to give it a shot with a color/resin/tint guru nearby for guidance.

It’s easy to get started. Not so easy to get what you want. My first and only resin tint came out a little ruff. :D

hey patch,
working with colors in resin isn’t too hard, but at the same time it is… each color effects the gel time/curing time for the resin, and some are more or less opaque. but, if you use ligt colors – like yellow with red – or white with blue – and take your time, you might suprise yourself.
the other thing is the more you work the resin, the more ‘muddy’ the colors get. so, you pour it out, spread it, let is soak for a minute or two, then pull it out.
email me if you want more info.

No way Matt, post it here there or where ever. Getting the word out as much as possible will help the artists, shapers and glassers involved.

Hay just reading your comments about this board and really appreciate your interest in the work Eric &I did.Color work with resin iseasy as long as you do not force the resin to do something it dose not want to do.If you are interested in more surfboards like da koi check out Chinatown Boardroom or 12th Floor Foam & Glass

how do i do a resin tint on a surf board blank.
do you mix the colour in with the resin before pouring on the cloth, or do you pour and spread the resin and then use something to put the tint/resin mix in , maybe using a syring & then smooth out??

can anyone explain this dark art .
