 Hi guys,

Can anyone could provide me some advices about the way to make those kinds of stripes with resin lam work. I don’t understand how could you manage to make clean and straight lines like this without melting with the previous color. I can see 6 differents shades, so probably cleaning your squeege after each step or having 6 differents one. But still, lines are super straight, is that just about skills or is there any tricks to help? 

Thanks by advance.

Olivier

Mix up your 7 shaded… pour nose to tail in about 1" wide  as straight as possible with a 1/2" or so gap between them. Pull resin nose to tail. 

clean squeege at each pull.

 tape off outline…

lines don’t look that straight to me/not sure what the dark purple mess is around the nose

That’s the deck … wraps around to the bottom

Takes a pretty opaque white to cover up purple.
