All class Austin!
Thanks Rasta. Yeh I’m really pretty pleased with my efforts. But I can see where I could have made it better. In short I have learned from this one board that you need to mix up enough resin to get a pour that covers all the board. My muddy areas have come from trying to pull resin over dry areas with resin that has already been pulled elsewhere. Next time I’ll try and flood the surface with enough resin to get a ‘clean’ pull.
Cheers at any rate for your comments

Hey guys. I'm about to start my first board. Its going to be shaped from pink XPS. Problem is that I'm not really down for a pink board. Since it will be XPS it can't be any dark colours due to heat and gassing. I'm going to be going stringerless and use poly resin. Instead of using a tint in the resin, could I paint the board between glassing coats?
Ok. I like the sound of spray paint! Would I just leave the paint exposed on the surface or do another gel coat over top or even spray on some clear coat paint? Sorry for the questions. I'm new to this whole thing.
leave it exposed nothing bad will happen. I promise :)
9'6" Nose Rider wrapped in a Mexican Blanket!
Rails with matching Logo
This board I shape 3 years ago and was in the rack at my old shop. It spent 1 year in my new location. Were we have in house glassing.
I was think to throw all my shape blanks that have been laying around or start glassing them up? Mark McConnell who works in the lam room offered to go wild on this 9'6 Nose Rider. I said just leave the deck white and go for it!
Here's a video of the end of the process. I didn't think to film until we were almost done. With this many colors you have to move fast:

cool surfding anyone had any luck with UV resin for colour work?
Hey silly,
UV goes only with tints . opaqe pigmets are no friends with UV resin.
hi lee . why not. could you cat the uv resin at say 1 percent and so give more time/. kick the lam in the sun and the 1 percent cat will do the rest maybe
You could definitely use UV resin if you add a little catalyst. The catalyst will cure the resin that might not get exposed by the sun, especially in overlaps like the nose and the tail. I did a deck inlay swirl that way once. Just have to be quick about cutting laps.
If you use mekp that's a different story. I was reffering to UV w/o mekp.
You can use UV for the tints and easy on the cat for the pigments.
Throw a bucket of clear a lttle hot at the end when your done and glaze it over.
I had my Mexican Blaket scanned today. I shaped it three years ago and need to register it so I can make a few 100 without making myself tried.
Mexican Blankets are fun to make.
Down in Mexico when it's small Nose riding can be a blast.
I use UV with cat in pigments all the time ,,, its all good!
And as Rachel says ,,,Cut Laps Fast!
Here is a new 6’2"x19 1/4"x2 3/8" swallow tail quad with red/white “nose dip”. Art done over the sanded hotcoat in acrylic then glossed over (not recomended haha)
Heres a couple boards I just did for a few kids. keep in mind im only 16 so they dont look all that good.
