Also to get back on surfing⌠here is a pic of a marble swirl i did with light blue and white.
The mudding is extremely minimal due to it just makes another light blueâŚvery easy for the beginner.

Austin-
To minimize mudding, itâs best to either use multiple squegees AND constantly wipe them after every pass, correct?
correcto-mundo! i normally just clean the edge of the squeegee with my bucket edge or between my thumb and pointer finger. what you canât see to the side of the videos when i leave the screen sometimes during a big lam or a really messy one ill wipe down the squeegees with paper towels or grab a new squeegee out of the acetone buckets. By the by those rubber maid throw-away tupperware things are awesome. ive had two of the biggest size ones (one for clear lamâs one for colored lams) for almost a full year now and no deteriation at all. It has also cut down on my cost of acetone due to such a little amount of evaporation. ill also run out of the screen of the video to put on fresh gloves tape on a trashbag apron etc. Its weird cause i dont even think of the things i do out of habit as helpful to other people because i overlook them. So someone asking me direct questions can conjure up some new info. Hope that helps.

Austin,
Congratulations, youâre lucky!
Hey Austin,
So how exactly would you complete something such as this? www.swaylocks.com/resources.detail_page.cgi?ID=914
That link doesnt work for me� I would be happy to help if i could see it though.

Hey Austin,
Iâm sorry, I typed the LINK wrongâŚhere it is! www.swaylocks.com/resources/detail_page.cgi?ID=914
well, on that board the base color is yellow, and itâs accented by a darker yellow, black, red, and light blue. mix the accent colors in small cups, and a standard amount of the base color. catalyze each of the small accent color cups separately, and drip it onto the cloth wherever you want each accent color to stick. then, pour the base color over all of the dry parts of the cloth, and squeegee as normal. itâs exactly the same process as austinâs âretro swirlâ videoâŚjust a different color combination with less accent.
Yes, but wonât the colors mudd up and mix togather instead of having that precise look?
whatever color hits first winsâŚso before you start pulling off the resin, just make sure that every bit of cloth already has clean resin poured on it. do the accents first, and then pour the base color over everything else. this leads to a lot of waste, but itâll come off nice and crisp. as your pulling it, the resin will mix together and mud, but just so long as all the cloth has already been hit with clean resin (including the rails), itâll come out lookinâ good. austin explains and shows all of this very well in his âretro swirlâ video.
âŚand donât forget to clean your squeegee after every pass.
