I’ll try to get a finished shot of Jamie’s board. Its a Bonzer egg…
I always sport the mullet when working with poly & colors. Just seems appropriately retro but also quirkily modern, ya know?
Like a fat Ali G who’s from Norcal instead of NYC. 
Here’s a Zeph board, made for Surfore
And the deck of a Tyler Craftsman I used to have
Quote:
Oh my…Let me get a napkin to clean up the drool. That deck is fantastic. And correct me if I’m wrong but are the darts on the bottom are part of the cutlap, and then a blue bottom patch cut to to fill in? It that right? Wait, it looks like a masked and painted deck, rails and bottom, then a tinted pattern in the deck lap cut to match the paint line on the bottom. Wait, I’m confused. I bow to the laminator.
Okay, this is just an awesome thread. Not too good for my productivity at work though. I’m obsessively checking back for updates.
Howzit Kensurf, I really think the subject is well covered in this post, but I can tell you how I do it. First I only use tints, small batch of base tint color then mix your other colors in separate cups. Drop other tint colors into base color from sbout 4 ft above and then do 1 swirl with stir stick, pour resin on in any spots but make sure there's enough to cover area, then squeegee in one swipe the length of the board being sure not to overlap previous swipe. Not brain surgery. I like to make a couple of batches since after pouring first the colors tend to run together in cup, this way you have fresh colors. The dropping of the secondary colors into the base color from 4 ft lets the tint go to the bottom of the base color . hope this helps.Aloha,Kokua
Here’s an opaque with some hotrod pinlines on the hotcoat done in Japan. Pic courtesy of Steve Ford.

Sugar? seems a lot like creme…
Wow, guys. Benny, that deck is … yeah words fail me.

I know, man, I know…
Still trying to figure it out.
Gotta find shots of the ones where Z does a cutlap on each side, both on the right rail. Like, a lap from the bottom up onto the deck, and then a lap from the deck down onto the bottom.
More freaking tape than I’m capable of, that’s for sure. Or something. 
And yes, those lightning zingers are cut in the glass.
Ok … found them. www.boarddesign.net/

This is what I’ve been waiting for. The main reason I make boards. (well, it’s why I started) Resin color is true art and mystery at da same time. I’ll try to post some of mine soon. I love original stuff like Mexican Blanket/Acid tint. Lots of goods on here. I think no need for those of higher powers to belittle those of learning and new ideas. Ha.
EVERYONE has got somfin’ 2 offa…

Word. Sample::::
F it–see this page for you to blown you mind:
Thought I’d pop in and see what Vader was up to. Seemed like business as usual…
Jim Phillips had a couple of interesting boards floatin’ around
They called this color “kelp”
Burnt orange tint
THIS will start a whole new aspect to the thread. If you have not seen this, PREPARE. HUNDREDS of the MOST INSANE tints and pinlines you may ever see. Serious hours looking at theses boardses. Almost like the bible of acid tint/swirl/slob/trip-out…
I meant the Cooperfish site...Not down with linking the links quite yet.
Everyone got somfin' to offa.
Wow. (repeat)
Resin pins, pins, pins…
And the colors aren’t bad, either 
I have some in the resources but are not different or specials
so I can contribute with this pict of a “space swirl” fins
In early to mid 90 s I did a lot of this stuff
–who is the guy that is doing the Cooperfish swirls?

That would be Gene Cooper. He looks like he’s getting pretty good at it, eh? I think there was an article in TSJ a while back showing some of his work.
Howzit darthvader, We all have our own techniques for doing things. It’s the end result that counts. Aloha,Kokua
Thats a poly board, there’s no way you can do that with epoxy. Or at least my gerbal sized brain hasn’t been able to figure it out yet.
