Hi from Los Angeles- walk into “PEARL” in LA at LaCienaga & Pico,& in Huntington Beach,& S.F. , too- after reading here & driving around LA metro, then to South Bay/Hermosa,CA-& grudgingly paying $7.50 for 1 small Posca Pen at E.T. Surf, I found stunningly big selection of ZIG and others at PEARL- which is also in NY& Florida- see www.pearlpaint.com & they have international mail order-
Good walk in price on ZIG- same as MisterArt.com
Also, stunned, Stunned to see “Sharpie” now has paint pens, both water based & oil based(i know from here,oil based not chemically correct)
Finished 9' longboard painting,with Coors Light logo that it came with- Coors won't even look at it- 800 phone line in Golden,Colorado says not interested & their ad company,Integer Group,also not responding- yet Foster's beer of Sydney liked emailed digital pix & will keep me in mind for possible work.Will upload shots of board at some point
<span style="font-weight:bold">STRIP to PREP 4 FiberGlassing Suggestions?</span>
Used mainly acrylic paint& covered it with Future floor polish- now must strip entire paint& Future, in order to glass correctly the top - it came with only 1 layer of 6oz.glass,will add 1 layer of 4oz.- Future says use a combo of Amonia, unspecified “household cleaner”(Pinesol?) & a lot of water- then sand again, also? I’ve been told Don’t use Lacquer Thinner, which may damage fiberglass.
Don’t have much bucks so having glass and fin box put to board to surf it- May repaint, interested in Totem designs of the Pacific NorthWest.
