a severe clash of yellow and orange (swirlys) could be saved with what color tint over the top? ?
ive mentioned this in another post but figure this title heading could attract an experienced mind.
would/could a tint totally change the colors and just leave the design showing in different shades under?
cheers!
pictures are worth a thousand words.
fair.
the picture make the colours bolder then they are… day after a hot coat.
after sanding it today im thinking it my look better unpolished. im still gong to reglass 4x4 with a 6oz feet(both feet) patch, if not 4x4x6.[img_assist|nid=1065998|title=swirly thing|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=480|height=640]
.
yeah… it looks like the colours arent such a problem, but they are REALLY unbalanced.
.
leave it alone
when you polish it it will pop
looks ok to me ,, it is an abstract,,, so its perfect
Nothing will cover it up apart from an opague
Why add the weight learn from what went wrong do it different on the next one!
Just surf it!! :o)
I’m with Ken, leave it and do polish it, it will look good.
thanks for the encouragement. im very critical of myself…
its 4x4 as is.
i gotta put more glass on it anyway. so, just clear? no weak tint over?
if i didnt get any feed back i was going to just go with a weak 100% see through orange. thinking it would add depth if nothing else.
the colours were super enhanced by that photo…they are very weak. even the black is kind of translucent.
im thinking one of the major lessons i learnt was to use more pigment.
thanks again
trying a tint over it might look cool…maybe even try a tinted swirl over top, like red and yellow or something… I don’t know–do what you want to.
good luck
and im not fishing for compliments! hahaha
not that i mind!

Buff it out! Loud and Proud!!!!
Take mental notes...think about how you mixed the resin and how you poured the resin....Hot day? Cold day?
Big bucket/small bucket....ect...how did you "work" the resin....what do you like...what do you want to come out different.....
Live and learn....but sometimes overthinking makes mudd....
you've got it....keep going....be happy! Board looks great!........Stingray..........
you wanna tint?
make it red
a blue will make it mud and green
a purple will make it mud.
you want pop use taped off black pigment
like skinny stars or lightning bolts or pinlines.
if black is too severe,dark green,or dark redish brown.
…ambrose…
in the end less is more…
like one black sea urchin
offset …
Ambrose is spot on…custom painter here with a lot of exp with color,go with a red (very transparent) tint and it will look great! Kinda like it the way it is too! Something to be said about appreciating it for what it is!
thanks guys!
i played a with a bsic photo editing program and with the ‘cool blue’ feature i thought blue may be good!
i probably would have stayed with clear or yellow so i wouldnt have to worry about the laps…
if i do use red ill do the laps clear
thanks again!
Sorry champ....you're done here.
Unless you are a very, very, very good sander, adding a pigmented or tinted top over this design will only make it even more blotchy. with or without cloth. I'm guessing your are a so so sander? if you try to tint the top it will look even more F'd up. Tints are hard even when you are doing it on a clean blank. Red, blue, purple tint is only for pro quality guys. Best bets are Orange, yellow, green..................Looks like you cornered the market on Orange and yellow.
Next time add more pigments too the mix. do your research in the archives. I've always told guys to add more colorant to the mix. A cup will always look a hell of a lot darker than when it's spread out 1/8" thick. Red that looks like blood in the cup, will be a nasty pink.
what was up with the sideways pull at the nose.........just had to do it right?
Remember...the first color to hit the foam wins. Once it hits the foam, it's done. No matter how much you pull rubb, pour more etc. it's done. Actuall guy will pour clear resin over work to lock it into place. if you want swirl and clear, you got to lock the color down...You need to flood the cloth with clear resin. Remember the first resin color to hit foam wins....that means clear too.
Next time pour out color on part of the board..in blotches. Then come back with a reverse mix and pour over the open spots.
Then tilt to board right, tilt the board left
Then pull the resin around to the rails, and the open spots.
The less working the resin the more clear, vibrant, and defined the colors will be.
research that darth vader resin tints thread …
did kensurf start that?
darth vader kicked us down some scientific
we who are lowly can dig a little blotchy
but you could always
sand the clear hot coat.
and.
gloss with the red
tint …
…ambrose…
even with red tint it will be orange…

I found this out about the blue pigment, and not adding enough last week!. Thought i'd added a lot, but on the foam, it is very light, and all of my beginner shaper gouges nicks, and scratches, my imperfectly cut finpatch stick out like dogs balls. When i do the deck next week i will be loading it up much more, hoping to make it opaque enough to hide some of the flaws on the laps :(.
tint the hot coat and the gloss
or pigment the hot coat and the gloss…
…ambrose…
rich blue…
