Oh, I see… Well, nose and tail-blocks have been shaped to match nose and tail, they have been glassed, both sides have been hot-coated, fin-box has been set, and I sanded it this afternoon (together with three other boards).
Latest available photos:
Glad you like it, Ken.
Damn Nice!
Me again guys, sorry!.
Can i add tinted resin to white PIGMENTEd resin, for the “creamy”, solid looking swirls??>
I can’t seem to find white tint, only white pigment.
I just ordered some, and also some magenta tint. Cant decide between orange/magenta, or blue/magenta.
balsa,
that is very tidy. super clean all around.
just finished this pigmented epoxy mini simzer:
was a real bitch working with the epoxy in 4c temps(outside) but am pretty happy with the outcome.
just finished a coupla others i’ll post up monday…
cheers

white only comes in pigment, the less you use, it will be like tint
as said before you can do test panels to see if your on the right track to what you want
Ken, are you sure about that? I do use tint white to lighten some dark tints. It is actually transluscent, not opaque like the white pigment is. “West and Senior” is the brand I use.
wow, there’s a lot of good stuff on this thread. this is my latest using eps-epoxy
Recent Paipo pattern. We used this pattern once before on an Austin Tribute and said we would never do it again due to the time consumption but as always never say never.

Man, that yellow goes to 11!!
Wow you ain’t kiddin’ ! Bad pic,looks better in the flesh.Would be kinda cool to
have that glow though…
for some reason I havent been able to get that “glow” or “pop” with epoxy either
Is that clear and yellow? I did this one recently in black/red, white tint (down the middle to show its stringerless) and yellow…
This is a triple stringer I did in chocolate brown and red resin tint.
The red lap bled onto the clear deck so I had to go with brown down the rails. It came out ok but way beyond my skills (at the time…lol)
Yeah clear and 2 diffrent yellows that don’t show up in the pic.Little too bright! Nice work
on your boards.Post more pics! They look great!
The nose concave… deep and 48" long. The board has held up well for up here and you dont see a leash plug.
I did the nose in a wrap to 24 inches, using two 4 oz lams with color. A thick hot coat so I might not sand through to the weave and this is what I got. I never polished out completely as the board gets surfed a lot anyway.
This is a retro/hullish single for points. It has the patented resin bead tail edge starting at 24 inches from the tail, sharpened to a flint like blade.
Needs way more fin. Its the first board I did with a clear bottom. The lap was a little dry but the hot coat worked wonders. I did the top lap in a darker blue before I laid the cloth. It was supposed to be dark blue with light blue on the bottom but my squeegee’s are not so great and I worked some of the color out.
8’0" hard knifey nose to hard egg to down rail to resin edge, flat deck, 3.5 inches of nose r and 1.25 in the tail. 17 n, 15.5 t, 23.25
First day I rode it, it through me off the tail until I stuck 9 inches of fin it.
Cool boards.Those three fit so many types of waves.Man I need a new monitor after using my In laws machine!
Now I have to look at this thread again! Free and easy’s fish looked orange on my machine!Now I
can see your longboard better.I like the fish with the clear break you did down the center.
Jeff
Board number 14
Hats off to the experts, your very subtle hints are deeply appreciated
photos will never do justice,
this board will be on my blogspot soon in large scale
I like the orange swirl
beware of hi jackers
