[img_assist|nid=1061589|title=resin tint|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=380|height=257]ok you guys got me interested in this so i did a little test piece, and like others have said, dont pull the resin too hard or air bubbles will show up, but it seams totally do able, i would love to see something creative and artsy on a hole board that would be cool
Howzit Mr. Clean, I guess we are the " Old Dogs " now but it almost seems like just yesterday that I was sweeping up the shop and being the gofer when it was like way over 40 years now. We may be old but we have the heart and soul of a teenager but the bodies of a 63 year old geezer and my body feels like it. I saved almost all of my tools for making boards, but gave away some tools like my FCS install kit and my ProBox kit also. I still have my grinder and a squeegee and lots of the little tools I would need but other than that it is all gone. Aloha,Kokua
Trying to match color on a resin abstract. These are basic glass fins from Surf Source. Doing an overlay with glass and tint resin. I pigmented the fins white (like a blank) before doing the colored glass. Would have been easier if I had ordered white fins to start with. Stuck them on some scrap foam blocks to hold in place. So far so good.
Have fun!
how weird is this ,,, Ive been thinking about etching a blank before tinting for some time now.
havent thought of a patern , so I never tried it
completely doable
go for it!
why don’t you try using a pasta wheel or pastry wheel on the foam, but don’t push hard. nice patterns.
marty ?
try a tongue blade.

Howzit ken, Just open your mind and think outside of the box, there are so many designs you could doand the deeper the etch the darker the color in them.Just be careful about doing them where the deck starts to curve down to the rail because the tint will run out of the ruts. Aloha,Kokua
Hey Kokua
great tip
the thought never occured to me
How you doin these days?
Howzit ken, Yeah I was thinking about what could go wrong and that came to mind. I am doing good and the weather is starting to cool down finally but it is still pretty hot. Had my firs fall on the Harley today but I was just sitting at a stop sign so I didn't hurt myself but needed help getting the bike up off the street.darn thing is heavy and I emailed a couple of biker friends to find out the trickto getting them up. A big Harley can weigh over 800 Lbs and no one person is going to pick that up with out some kind of trick or at least a second person. Aloha,Kokua
