this is in the resources as well, but i didn’t have space for the fin set up pictures(for you chipper…)

anyway, here’s a few more pictures.

  1. fin set up.

  2. bottom view/cant angle of fin set up

  3. fin set top view - sorry about the glare

one more shot of fins in relation to bottom and the deck

as i said in the resources, the color is all resin work, above a clear 6oz lam. anything is possible…

thanks to all at sways.

Once again, Nativeson, I love the swirl. You are proving that epoxy is no barrier to great color work. Compliments.

hey,

thanks a lot for the compliment. but, if i am honest, i think that epoxy is easier to do color work with. you can spread it, and really let it soak in, before doing your pulls. i used to have problems with poly kicking a bit too soon if i let the resin sit/soak in for too long. and it never really came out as crisp as i wanted. i guess, to each their own.

again, if i can help in anyway, just let me know.

thanks again for your kind words.

I’m starting to be tempted to try an eps/epoxi experiment with even a swirl work, too. Let’s talk about… Congrats!!!

hiya ‘Native’ !

I just saw this thread …

thanks for posting those shots , mate !

do you have fibreglass fins you can use in that too ?

re: " the swirl " …

did you pour out all the epoxy resin at once , then squeegee the whole board lengthwise somehow ?

or

did you do small batches at a time ?

I would like to do another epoxy laminated board , especially with another swirl job , but wasn’t sure how well that would work …

do you get better results if putting down a clear lam first , then tinting /pigmenting swirling your second layer of cloth , or does that use too much resin / add too much extra weight , do you find ? [have you done it that [second] way , is what I am asking too , I guess !]

cheers !
