Do you think it is possible to use some color tape to do a line under the glass. I mean glue a tape line on sticky resin and glass it after instead of using pigment resin or paint ??? It would be so much easier ...for me! Thanks again!!!
If you're using polyester resin, don't do it. The resin will attack it and it will lift. Don't ask me how I know. With epoxy, you may have better chances of success. That's how some guys do their pinlines.
tape over sticky resin, over foam… all of it under glass… then hotcoated
Why not?
Wow I really hope You understand what I mean ! Because cover my joint between the wood and the white with black electric tape and glass over will be much easier !!! thanks
The resin will not bond well to black electric tape.This type of tape is often used by woodworkers as a mold release when doing resin laminations or resin casting.. I am sure there are some tapes that would work but I don't know which ones.
dude, if you want to do easy pinstripe, just use some car stripe tape. go to any auto store or canadian tire. they sell it in 1/8 and 1/4" .
just paint some hotcoat resin on the foam, light scuff with some 100 g. apply pinstripe tape. glass as usual.
easy. clean and fast.
If you use masking tape (i hope thats the right expression in english, i mean the one that is used to tape your walls if you paint them too) you’ll have better chances. It soaks the resin a little bit so if it’s just a small pinline and you also glass over it I’m pretty sure you won’t get delam. Don’t know in how many colours you can get them.
If the resin can’t permeate it, don’t stick it under the glass.
Oh… I wouldn’t use electrical tape. That stuff’s too rubbery. But I’m pretty sure any paper type tape will work. As mentioned, auto pinline tape would be ideal. I know it works under epoxy, and I see no reason why it wouldn’t work between layers of sticky poly lam resin.
it works. dont you worry.
epoxy or poly.
easy.
What about dyed rice paper cut into strips under the resin?
man,
i can see rat gettin' ahold of this one and reaming it a new hole.
never put adhesives under resin................you'll be sorry.

I don't remember hearing of guys using automotive pin stripe under Poly, but lots of guys have been doing it for quite awhile under Epoxy. Works great. On the hotcoat insures you cover up what you need to. I've sprayed. But I like just squeezing it out of the tube and laying it down with a small sqeegy best. Pulling a line with tape is good practice for all things hand and eye related.
Herb, you made me laugh. i was just reading through this thread, and it was like I got hit by a two by four across the forehead. And I agree with you. Now here’s a confession, I am the world’s worst pinliner, I hate it, because every time I pull a good clean even tape line, I can never duplicate it on the other side. Sometimes I don’t see it till I pull the tape. Jim Phillips told me to try glasses one time (in person- the name dropper I am) and his stuff is so clean, but I’ll never get to that level. My brother doesn’t glass a board for almost twenty years and gets right the first time, goes on and does double pins at around a 1/16". Some people got it, and I can’t seem to. Hey, I can tell people the right techniques to on that one, on how to hold the tape, the right amount of tension, fingers as guides yeah, yeah. I seen the masters flow right through them Tom Sutherland gets the nod, so does Robbie Henchmann.
under epoxy..............i guess ? never tried it...............i have in my early years tried automotive pinline tape under poly................
can you say............delam................gummy....................bleeding all over the rails.................ya,i tried it once.
as far as pinlines in paint pins................on the foam.....................looks like a 5 yr old's rendition of a picasso....just not consistant enough for my standards...............but the customer didn't mind.........i guess i'm picky.
the standard pin on the sanded hotcoat...............yeah.............i'm good.................not great like the guys you mentioned.
i can get it even and some what straight.................but on the other hand i 've set lines down .............that............ if you looked at them too long...........................it would make you sea sick !
i don't know if you ever knew tom goffe back in the day(tom r.i.p.).............but he was a master at it,and did them all in resin..........not paint.
it's definately an art.................either you got it ...............or you don't.

I’d say back in the day, but Thrailkill, will say something like that’s not the day, but it was the heyday of resin pinlines, unarguably Bob “Russell” Brown, and Tony Channin were the resin pin kings, and I say this with no disrespect to Danny Brawner. Russ used to do pinlines on pinelines so pretty and thin, that everybody wanted to take them home. Channin’s stuff was the standard everyone aimed for. And Brawner labored under Hobie’s and Metz’s hard hands.
rat,
thanks for the trip down memory lane.
my best to you and yours.
