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.
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.
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.
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??
It's over. The last beautiful spot north of Ensenada is toast, and has been for a while. Wildcoast has some more story on Salsipuedes. -comment-
The gothic dolphins forenever is a black and white interweb existance that's a mess of sudo sociographical texts containing overtones of scientific theory laced between photos of broken boards and grainy shots of gluefoot, in trim. It is well fucking out there... Oakland maybe. -comment-
The Surfilmfetibal in San Sebastian (12-15th of Junio) has been running for 6 years. San Sebastian is definately one of my favorite towns in Europe, but I'd go just to put some sound to these band names: "Delorean" and "Los Tiki Phantoms". -comment-
Ty Williams, Super Painter and half subject of an earlier ten over post has a bitchen website. Go by one of his paintings, the prices are totally reasonable. Thanks Ty! -comment-
The TCA isn't done with their toll road through Trestles yet. They've successfully appealed to the US Fish And Wildlife Service to reject the findings of the Coastal Commission. There is some insight into how the agency has been infiltrated by capitalistic pigs on the erBB. Keep fighting. -comment-
The brandnewest Hi-Shredability: Ford and Archy, part 1 and part 2. Fark! I love me some Hi Shred. Side note: If those hollywood dorks weren't such pansies, they would have cast Arch as Tyler Durdan in Fight Club. -comment-
If you live in San Diego and the 180 hour stormsurf.com models are correct, the surf report for the next two weeks is as follows: small to micro.
If you've got oneofthese 10 foot plus Chris Christenson gliders in your quiver though, you won't even notice how small it is. Check the video footage in the VBS.tv on Chris as well.
The DM3 is a new Fletcher Chouinard swallow tail thruster developed with and for Dan Malloy. Dan will be in the shop on May 3rd, answering questions about his new sled, which he says is... "The best all-around shortboard I've ever had.".
I own a KMRP, and I'll vouch for both the shape and the construction method. When you combine the weight, how it surfs, and durability, it equals out to the best thruster I've ever owned.
Oh yeah, the FC site is new, but it's pretty effing bland.

Great concept huh?

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

Thanks Rob, I will do that.

I just posted this on Design Forum, should have checked your site first!

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.
