anyone have any tips on tinting over channels, I haven't tried it but was wondering how to do it well? thanks
Ive never tried doing channels
but
I would be inclined to make some special sqeegies that fit in the channels
thats all I got/ guess
Tint in channels can get fugly - you know how any shaping scratches show up badly in tints? well, with channels its really difficult to screen out scratches to perfection.
And the resin will virtually always pool a little in the pit of the channels, giving you a darker streak along the channel = fuggers.
So I'd only sugest that if you absolutely must do pigment, make it a full solid opaque one. The technique does'nt require a special squeegee - just a gentle touch.
I wet the channel area first, then roll the glass down - UNTRIMMED - Pat it into the channels from the inside first, then cut your lap line.
Work carefully with two squeegees - one with the edge to hold all that pat-down work in place when working the lap with the other one.
Theres tricks!
