Used just a little too much tint on the deck and got some free laps and strings on the bottom showing up. Just finished hotcoating. Beforte I gloss, any ideas on how to hide the free laps? I was thinking a posca pen design all the way down on each side. Or maybe taking some posca paint and use cotton balls for a swirl??
As this is the bottom, a standard pinline will look wierd and will also
not cover the lap flaw, unless I want to make it an inch wide. Any
ideas???
Free lapping with tint looks pretty cool. I did a blue one inspired by Ambrose(I didn’t even come close). What’s it look like? mike
Actually I’m getting used to it! Especially with the little curvy short glass strings. It actually kinda fits with the resin swirl I was working with. I’ll try some color dabs here and there - I can always wipe it off. Btw, can I airbrush on top of the hotcoat, then gloss over? Wonder how that looks over the existing resin swirl. More dimensional aspect?
Or you might try a colored sharpie pen under the gloss. The sharpie will run and bleed when the gloss hits it, it just might be the look your looking for. They come in a bunch of colors, just outline the lap and all the strings.
Why no cut lap with the tint?

Usually don’t need to cut with a very light deck tint. A light blue deck tint will not show up too badly if the bottom is a darker blue swirl. This time I miscalulated the color amount.
I like resinhead’s solution. My second board I pinlined with a Marks alot permament marker. Glossed it and it ran down the rails. Looks pretty cool and I wished I used more ink. I still have the board. When I think how bad a board builder I am I pull it out to see how much I’ve improved. Oh yah, the board looks like shit but it surfs pretty good. mike
run with the look
however it looks try to make it look like you mean it
if it looks like you were tryng to do somthing else and failed or perhaps fell short
it will show…
a thought came to mind,
the old tutti fruitti
gloss.drabble milti droplets o’ color… tint?
finish with the long brush strokes,not many just one pass
slow enough the resin reaction between colors is splendiferous!
the ole tuti frutti started with an opaque base.
using the twist of tints would be an interesting departure…
maybe a few drabbles of white for contrast
to many passes will turn it to mud…
