hey guys so i done shaping a HWS fish out of red cedar and i want to do a small section of resin tint just on the tip of the nose ( around 6-8 inchs fading out) top and bottom.
I am using a " kentics crystal clear expoy resin" from Harcore surf in auckland NZ for the lam with poyester resin on the hotcoat. so i when sould i do the tint? i was planing to do the tint after the lam before the hot coat. would i be better to just do it when i do the hotcoat?
what you guys think?
I can’t see any other way to do a resin tint like you described… with a fade… except maybe in the lam. But even that sounds tricky. I thought fades are usually done with paint. I’d like to hear some other ideas, though.
hey fade was the wrong word i was thinking of masking the nose off with some kind of patten that blended down the rails 8inchs or so. Then trying a swril patten may be with green base and blue yellow and white in the swril

best results will be in the lam
It will be called a deck patch
mask around the area
cover the area you dont want to do real good
and mask rail so drips will fall straight down and off the board
lay on glass
mix colors. catyliz , combine colors and pour
squeegee off
wait for gell
trim and pull tape
look at the "show us your resin tints and paterns" thread
good stuff
