I’m getting ready for number three, and its time to venture into areas that aren’t akin to the shortboard (I love em, but one needs variety). That said, I think pinlines are a vital part of any full figured board. Don’t worry, I’m not hear to recycle questions on how to pinline, I did much archive scouring. But I am curious of what the advantages are of using resin tins. I know it has a much respect in the traditionalist community; but is it more than that? Do paint pens not work well, or just not as well as resin tint? Slainte,

Brucker USED TO DO RESIN PINS ‘AS THE NORM’ IN THE SEVENTIES, SOMETIMES THEY WOULD BLEED (BLACK, RED), WE WOULD SPEND ALL DAY DOING 1/16TH WIDE TRIPLE LINES OR ANY ASSORTMENT OF SOUL INSPIRED DESIGNS (REALLY ‘SMOKED OUT’ SOUL ANYWAYS)! THEN SELL THE BOARD FOR $95. AFTER A WEEK LONG LABOUR OF LOVE. I LAUGH EVERY TIME I SEE AN EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD LONGBOARD NEW SCHOOLER WITH HIS $900. OPAQUE TINTED VOLAN NOSERIDER WITH GLASSED ON FIN, BOY THINGS HAVE JUST COME RIGHT BACK TO THE INEFFICIENT MATERIALS WE POLLUTED OURSELVES WITH IN '72-'80!!! RESIN LINES HAVE A BUMP, NEED PROTECTION WITH A GLOSS COAT, AND POOR QUALITY DARK TINTS MAY BLEED WHEN GLOSSED OVER, PLUS THEY NEED TO BE REWORKED WITH A STAIGHT RAZORBLADE TO REMOVE LITTLE IMPERFECTIONS. OF COURSE WE DIDN’T HAVE 233 TAPE OR SWAYLOCK’S EITHER! GO FOR IT, IT WAS WORTH IT…

Plus the acrylics cleanup with water.
