Yellow is definitely one of the easier colors to tint with. Just play with amounts…first try to just dab the corner of your stir stick, give it a good stir, then go from there. You wont need alot. Good luck and post pictures if you can.
search for a post by tenover. It’s a 9’8 log he did with a yellow tint not too long ago. Good all around thread, he has a lot of pix and commentary.
Here it is.
No one has really answered this question yet. I’m facing the same problem. I have an old board I re-shaped and am now ready to glass. The repair required replacing some sections of foam (because of delam), so to compensate for this I’m planning a yellow pigment to cover everything up.
The question is: When do I add the pigment? I’m doing 6oz on bottom, and then 4oz first + 6oz second layer on top. Do I add the pigment in the laminating resin, and then do a clear hot coat? Or what is the correct process?
In tenover’s post he asked about doing a lam layer in pigment, then a second lam layer in clear for a deeper effect. I’m really trying to understand the best way to do this. I was got glassing 101 and was very disappointed that they didn’t cover pigment at all.
Still trying to figure it out.
your best bet will be a opaque to hide the repairs…
just make sure you make it opaque enough by checking to make sure you cant see the side of the bucket as you mix the color then when you strain it trough the strainer you want the yellow to mask the color of the strainer so you know its not transparent. you may need to start with white depending on the quality of the pigment you have.
use this colored resin to then laminate the board.
sweat coat with clear resin
you can do it.
