Totally doing this to a deck that that I’ve drawn/painted on. Thanks!!
Now we’re taking!!!! Loved it
i wish i watched this video last year
What drill did you use on the board? Im in the middle of building a skateboard with a resin finish
how does affect board and nose slides? does it make it more slick?
What’s the best way to fix a paint scratch on a long board of skate board FYI right now I just used a marker
I always use Locktite hard epoxy on both ends of my board. I make it into a semi-circle by putting a piece of painter tape across the end of the board how ever far in I like to coat (3-4 inches). I then wrap a piece of painter tape around the edge of the end or the board to make a barrier. Then put a little Vaseline on the inside or that tape to keep the epoxy from bonding to the tape. I then pour the epoxy. Depending on how much you tilt your board (back for thick forward for thinner) you control the depth of the coating. I usually end up with a 1/4 - 1/2 thick coating. Take the tape off and you have a clean, clear, hard, semicircle of plastic protection. It will wear down over months but the wood will be spared. You can also just repeat the procedure to get your thickness back. Also, if you already have razor tail this will fix the board.
damn this is actually very helpful! Thank you!
Make a video
@@Rager_rabbit_ okay. I will try and it will be my one and only UA-cam video
Okay I’ll be waiting for it
I’ve just finished painting a board and I’m watching lots of resin videos so I don’t mess up
THIS IS GENIUS!
Beeeeeeeautiful!!
Where did you make the design for the bottom? What site?
How many ounces did you use of epoxy for this project? I’m using 4 to coat decks now according to size on the art resin calculator. Just curious if you used the same or less?
Hi DJ, I am not sure how many we used for this deck, but definitely use the calculator as it will tell you what you need. ArtResin will naturally self level to 1/8" when you pour it onto your flat surface, the resin calculator takes that into account. www.artresin.com/pages/calculator
How does it look now after tail & board slides? great idea.
I like this method because it keeps the board looking natural but, protected.thx
Needed a boardslide test
nice video. When you apply with your hands, how can you make sure the resin have no streaks?
Great question. ArtResin will self level as it cures so even when you smooth it on with your gloved hand, it will usually level out smooth before it cures.
@@Artresin thank you again 👌
Is this okay to use for if I have stickers on the bottom of my board
Hi, if you're unsure about the stickers we recommend using a sealant first. Let the sealant dry completely and then use ArtResin :)
I just got my board a few days ago but now the edges are scratched. Might be a bit late now.
Don't worry you can sand it down and no problem
I was wondering if it makes your board slippery
You can use it for the bottom of your board, but if you have a graphic on top just use clear grip tape. I was able to get some for $5 at my local skate shop
if i haven’t sanded down the board before painting with the resin make it like smudge and ruin the design?
You may want to apply a few coats of a good sealer to seal in the artwork prior to applying your ArtResin. Just make sure the sealer you choose dries clear and that it is fully dry before applying your ArtResin.
Does it still allow the board to flex?
yeah i want to know if it will crack under trick or grind pressure.
No, epoxy in such a thin coat will flex and pop with the wood
Tom so it won’t crack?
@@siaraharbelo2827 PROBABLY NOT THIN LAYERS OF EPOXY IVE WORKED WITH HAVE SOME FLEX TO THEM THEY STILL WILL GET SCRATCHED UP THO
Working on my own brand will need somebody to test it out 😁
can we have the same result with a spry can of resin?
You cannot apply ArtResin by spray, but you can apply using a brush if preferred. Epoxy resin is too thick to be sprayed and would just clog up a spray gun as it cured.
Where do u get it? And can u use it on a longboard?
it will absolutely not work on a long board, its physically impossible
@@Mozx it only works on 8'' boards, using it on a longboard will break the space-time continuum and cause an infinite time loop within our dimension
2 oz might not seem like much but it's enough. I'm sure the resin is thicker on the concave which might cause balace issues on flip tricks. Good for a cruiser board though.
Powell Peralta slicks from the early 90’s had a resin shell.
Would this work on primitive dragon all super boards?
I'm not sure- please reach out to us at support@artresin.com with more details, thanks!
what would happen if I wanted to print off a piece of art on paper, then seal it onto the skateboard with resin/polyurethane? I'm not artistic and avoid using paint when possible.
You can easily do this! Just test the paper first, it may require a sealer to prevent it from absorbing the resin. Once sealed you can use a spray adhesive to fix it to the board, use a roller to ensure there are no air pockets trapped behind it, then coat with ArtResin.
No grinding or sliding?
Probably because it wont actually protect it from that
Santa Cruz literally made a skateboard with a plastic coating on it. No matter how hard you try to scratch it, it rarely gets any scratches, you really really need hard to try and scratch it. Sadly they don't exist anymore and im disappointed after buying the vx Santa cruz version because it's just raw wood, no protection.
Does Anyone know what kind of coating they did on it, because the coating or the graphic was literally half a centimeter thick
Can you do the top of the deck? And how to not have it all in the middle
You could do the top but it is super glossy and would be slippery too. You could apply the grip tape overtop once it cured. To avoid pooling you can apply in a thin layer using a brush or smoothing on with your gloved hand.
Will this keep the board from sticking while doing any slide tricks? Ive done hand painted decks in the past but I always noticed spray paint would cause it to stick. Looking for a tip to keep the deck sliding fine after I’ve pinted the graphic.
Wax
Does it protect the graphic from railing?
of course not
@@RNicolasRuvalcaba what do you mean?
@@dustinluong9307 Why don't you use some common sense and think real hard about it, you should have the answer in about 20 seconds.
@@RNicolasRuvalcaba have you some common sense? The art resin discription said its more flexible and impact resistant than most resins, so of course the resin will sctrach, but it will obviously protect the graphic. If you dont provide a good reason or explanation, you better refrain from making dumb opinions.
@@RNicolasRuvalcaba And you should probably go on the internet and search for "How to not act like a dick 101".
Is it possible to just remove my trucks and add the resin? Instead of buying a brand new deck?
Oh yeah definetly
No not at al! A GIANT DRAGON WILL CLIMB OUT OF YOUR ASS AND MAKE YOU PLAY BLACKJACK FOR YOUR LIFE!
Do a boardslide let's see how the epoxy hold up!
That’s what I wanna know... also if it doesn’t crack it will probably board slide much better with a slick coating like that. But I feel like it will crack.
doesn't it crack?
ArtResin has a small amount of flexibility built in to prevent cracking.
What if I don’t got that hot gun thing
The butane torch is used to clear off any bubbles that rise to the surface after pouring on your resin. You can use a heat gun if you don't have a butane torch.
I have 1 pallet of skateboard decks and 2 pallets of longboard decks.. 98% are complete blanks and the rest say Quest…. Anyone want to please take them away
Me I will take them
Lol send.
If the board is for an eight year old girl then the graphic isn't going to get scratched anyways..
Nicolas Ruvalcaba must not skate often
that’s incorrect
