Did you know cork loaded baseball bats are illegal in MLB. Too many home runs with the illegal bat.
corecork is amazing stuff.
Honestly I am a hack with anything but clear resin and arguably a hack with that.
looking forward to see you crimson stuff.
Thanks Ben, I am just trying to lighten up the place. Never been molested and probably shouldn’t joke about it.
Drew, Thanks again for getting the ball rolling and support with the corecork. I have some new oilbased clear and color sealers coming and going to give them a shot. It looks promissing
Bernie, Looking forward to meeting up with youand scoring some wood.
It is not actually thick. I think I used about about 80-100cc of total resin, maybe less because some ends up on the floor. I had a 20cc syringe that I squirted lines of resin, one color at a time. By the time I got to the last color the earlier colors had widened or started runnning on the rails. When I started dabbing with the wrinkled up palstice bag it blended and flattened everything out. A few places where the cork stayed exposed there is maybe a millimieter difference. Since it was fast cure resin it also had a chance to continue to flatten out for a few more minutes after I stopped dabbing it. I let it dry for 90 minutes and taped off my deck and glassed the bottom with a 3-4 inch lap. Cut my lap on the deck portion and sanded the lap on the nose section then did the nose patch the next day keeping the deck exposed. Never sanded the color work directly except for the end of lap margine to the cork overlap that had some clear resin over the color from the lap.
I don’t think this would work directly to foam with the same result. The cork that was sealed on the bottom side allowed the deep looking effect to occur.
I am not a tint or color expert, this was just an idea I used from a different art application I have done before.
The next board in line with get somthing similar with a cool shading effect I want to try. I will try to take some pics of the process to make it more clear.
Thanks for sharing the info Charlie.
