Paint job time!

Nice. It's a beaut'!

 

Good choice! Sweeeet - post the real thing when you get it! And remember to let it sit for a little... If you surf a brand new board after glassing- they ding super easy. They call it a 'green' board... Maybe hang it on the wall for 3 weeks - unless you like heel marks on the deck!!

 

Paint your stick yet?

 

I agree. Most swirls look like sh!t.

 

It's all about stir... and the pour...

 

I've done two or three swirls. solidly in the "sh!t" category. way too much muddiness from squeegee work by the time you're out at the rails. So does this...

...pretty much mean your successfully poured swirl is going to use about double the resin as you would for a clear lamination?

 

My All time fav. longboard was/is a jim "the genius" phillips. That board was sick. I have the blank still its stripped and drying in my garage rafters waiting to be re-glassed.

 

Very true. Not all swirls look bad. I knew I guy at one of the production glass shops I worked at in Socal who did really cool 1/2 board swirls pulled rail to rail. Color work is a good way to break the monotony of doing lots of clear lams.

Some of the Lucky Bastards color work is pretty damn cool. I don't get the glitter obsession thing though. Can't believe those color boards with glitter sell like they do.

 

Didn't ask for it like this, but apparently gnats got in glassing so I wound up with a colored glass job.

 

That looks kinda cool

 

Was meant to be. Happy accident

 

Not bad. Unique and interesting too. What was it supposed to have been, plain vanilla?

 

Gonna be a proud papa.
