That old look...

Have any of you thought of, or actually made a board that was glassed with a very slight yellow / amber tint in the resin to simulate an aged look? I’ve been thinking about doing this on a longboard to simulate a retro style, but wondered how. Would this work in the lam or hot coat? Thanks.

Grant, did you see my post below? I got the yellow look without evan trying. I think also that Volan glass is amber /yellow compared to regular glass. Good luck, Scott.>>> Have any of you thought of, or actually made a board that was glassed with > a very slight yellow / amber tint in the resin to simulate an aged look? > I’ve been thinking about doing this on a longboard to simulate a retro > style, but wondered how.

I use this technique on balsa, as it is photo active also. Letting it age in the sun turns the balsa a creamy yellow rather that the snow white look it has before. Many woods are affected this way.
