This topic inspired me to go with a resin tint on my new board.
Not talented enough to make it myself, but I’m pleased with it. Thanks for the inspiration.

posted this in another thread as well… board goes insane, surfed it pumping overhead offshore waves
fast and drivy
thanks to LARRY PROBOX for the fins
they are the belik quads and i think this is the best quad setup ive ever surfed
the board is alot faster then a thruster in full waves
its a 5 8 or somethin

Hey Balsa!
whats the latest on the Pretty Blue board?
Question for the experts.
I just did a test today on some foam and glass. I mixed orange, and blue resin ( seperate containers ), then a third container with very lightly tinted orange ( almost yellow ) as the flooding resin. I ran the resin on in a thin stream, but i didn;t mix the orange with the blue, i kept them seperate. When i used the flooding resin, it worked ok, but some of the gaps between the coloured bits ended kind of green, like it had mixed. I dont mind it, but how can i reduce this, ie, have blue, and orange swirls, with the untouched foam ending up plain orange ( the colour of the flood resin ) ???
I dont mind if i cant, it still looks cool, but i’d like it to be sharper.
CHeers
your flood resin will need to cover all unsaturaterd area’s
its when you squeegee the colors blend, what hits the cloth first is what sticks
try again and do a full flood
yes is waste’s a lot of resin
cheers kensurf for the best thread ever
i did a dark green bottom with bright orange deck that looks oka but run out of resin till monday
hey beefan it was explained to me like this
you basically use shitloads of resin
anywere you want the colour you pour the resin colour you want
you see, if you drag a base coulor through a dark colour it will mix as its pulled across the board
but if the coulor is already there then the mixed colour wont effect it much
so heaps and heaps of resin, a lot ends on the floor we are talkinf 700 to 1400 grams depending on the pattern
also there is cobalt, which i am using but still havent got quite right percentages
it scares the hell out of me
So, basically use enough flooding resin to not NEED to pull the resin off, just let it drain off the board??
OR, put up with some mixing of the colours??
I agree paul this thread is sick!!!
Hey paul, i have two cousins that have kiwi boyfriends. Top blokes. One of them, not a small bloke, was at my cousins weddin last weekend, for a big guy, he shreds on the dancefloor, mean as bro!!
you have to pull or squeegee the excess of the board
its the colors that hit the cloth first is whats left on the board after the pull off
example…
mix colors
pour, drizzle, squirt or somehow put the various colored resin on the board
if there are any unresined area’s as you pull the resin the colors will blend and become
whatever the colors blend into and impregnate the unresined cloth giving you another color
if there are more that two colors blending then you will get “mudd” color
when you flood just cover the blank area’s as to save resin
"Hey Balsa!
whats the latest on the Pretty Blue board?"

Not so many are pretty, I’m afraid… Also, “prettyness” is not the same for everyone… Lol.
Oh! funny guy eah!
