#56. Surfing at Midnight - Multiple Frothy Resin Waves Over a Black 1.1 m Surfboard

Hand-cut surfboard with two foamy white resin waves breaking over a 112 x 29 cm ply board.
The ocean blue pigment glows over the top of the white waves, gradually fading into the deeper water. The proud wood grain mimics natural sand drift patterns. Watch the resin wave formation in real time with the sounds of waves breaking at Torquay.
I used titanium white pigment paste, ocean blue epoxy resin ink, and DiamondCote resin from Just Resin.

Thank you so much. Nearly all the other videos I've watch haven't showed the attention to detail as yours does here . And the what appears to be the best technique and approach to over laying the waves direction . That flow from the same direction . Do to your ability with your heat gun and artistic abilities

This is completely, insanely awesome !! OMG. New subscriber here. I am totally all in with learning your techniques. I especially love the fact that you respond to every comment you receive, including answering any questions. I find too many KZbinrs fail to recognize the comments they get. Kudos to you. Brilliant talent here. All the best. ~ Frank from Canada.

[@alternaterealitytourist1710]

Beautiful! Also, thanks for taking the time to show the details of your respirator. This is a critical item of safety equipment and should be used whenever working with resins or other aromatic-containing volitiles. Nitrile gloves are also required - many aromatics such as benzine, toluene and zylene are absorbed directlt through the skin are are then accumulated in the liver. Thanks again!

[@Procrastipainter]

Thanks ❤ yes in my day job I'm a chemist so I know what you're talking about. My gloves are nitrile too 👍Heating and torching resin makes even more volatile organics so I'm just trying to get people to understand they definitely need PPE for using resin. Even while mixing seeing the hardener alone is corrosive and I swear mine always drips

[@theresathomson787]

That is so stunning!! How cool that you cut out your own shape. I was wondering where you got that bigger plastic stick that you mix the resin with? Thank you

[@Procrastipainter]

I love this 😍🥰😘 🇦🇺 Made Just Resin ... l think l need a propane torch 💯% is a must

Thanks! The torch definitely helps the cells 👍

[@JBatic2022]

Can you tell me where I can buy the propane torch? I’ve looked at my local Bunnings but they didn’t have any 😒

The big one I use was from Bunnings - a trade flame one. The little one I got from eBay

[@joshuamarks6175]

NICE love you

[@MothproofKT]

Hi there, thank you for sharing this with us! I’ve been wanting to try it for a while. Do you happen to have created a complete step by step video? Including mixing the resin, and how you use this with the coloured pigments etc? I’d greatly appreciate pointing me in the right direction if you’ve done a tutorial! Subscribed to you channel! ☺️

[@Procrastipainter]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! This video IS the step by step version 😉 each resin has its own specific mixing ratio (1:1, 2:1 etc) and will be either by volume (mL or fl oz) or weight (g or oz). You need to mix them for the specified time to ensure they are fully mixed, remembering to scrape down the sides and base of the mixing cup. When that's done, portion out your resin into separate cups for each desired colour. Add a little at a time till you get the colour you want. Then start putting it down. I hope this helped

[@nasiratabassum3989]

Beautiful waves!! Just loved it! I missed the blue coat , what did u mix with resin to get tht blue waves?

[@Procrastipainter]

Thanks 😁 all the pigments and resin used are in the description box of the video 😉

[@quentinpham8883]

This looks amazing! Question: Is there a noticeable bump on the surface from where the wood ends to where the resin starts? I want to try doing something like this on my desk!

[@jennymountjoy5518]

There would be a bump. But you could do a clear top coat to even it out. Good luck!

[@Procrastipainter]

What Jenny said 👍

[@mariajosemartinezjimenez8488]

Hermoso trabajo! Me podría decir cuál es la marca de su pasta blanca de titanio?? Le quedan unas maravillosas olas. Yo uso de la marca resinpro, blanco de la marca Piñata?? Cuál usa usted. Que pase un excelente día!! Gracias!

[@Procrastipainter]

Thank you 🥰 I use Just Resin titanium white paste. You have a fantastic day too 😁

[@moniquedeleeuw4296]

You are absolutely amazing making those beautiful waves! I’m a beginner and I’m still practicing. Is the resin you used a high viscosity one?

[@Procrastipainter]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 yes the DiamondCote is a high viscosity art resin

[@moniquedeleeuw4296]

@@Procrastipainter Thanks for your answer! One day I hope to be as successful making waves as you are!

Hi and Thankyou got sharing ! Fantastic tutorials !!! Do u have a JR discount code at all for the resin ? Many thanks

[@Procrastipainter]

Thank you 🥰 unfortunately no, I don't have a discount code

[@mannymodrono465]

Beautiful, why do you wait 20 mins to apply the white? Thank you

[@Procrastipainter]

Thanks! I wait for the resin to thicken up a bit

[@timshelton4303]

I can not get my waves that long.I am trying to find out why. You have the best waves too. Is the white pigment loaded heavy or just enough to cover your mix stick (opaque) ?

[@Procrastipainter]

I probably have a little extra white pigment than I should have, but I think your issue is how much white you lay down. The more you have down, the further you can push it

[@amandamarie6287]

What temperature is your heat gun and was it on high or low? Thank you. It's beautiful too by the way!!

[@Procrastipainter]

My heat gun is set about half heat, but I can't remember if it was low or high flow 😆

[@phyllis7513]

Does a heat gun work for blowing the white resin for cells and getting rid of bubbles, or do you still need the flame thrower?

[@Procrastipainter]

The heat gun will pop bubbles, however it's more likely to move the resin and blur your cells too. I find the brulee torch pops the bubbles quickly and helps the cells form 👌

[@ke5445]

Which white is that? It’s so pretty

[@Procrastipainter]

All pigments and resin I used are in the description box of the video 😉

[@shailee86]

whats the pot life of ur mixed resin? is it a high viscosity resin or medium one. only then the 20mnis gap is understandable. thank you for the video. i still cant get lacing, the struggle is real 😫

[@Procrastipainter]

The working time for DiamondCote is 70 minutes (at 25C). Yes it's pretty viscous to start with. But for reference, I wait till the resin is thick like cold honey before doing the white wave (hence the 20 min - it's actually more like 30 for me). I find waiting for it to thicken gets the cells to hold and not blur so much. Best of luck, you can get it!

[@shailee86]

@@Procrastipainter i tried jus today with a cell serum.. some did hold but very tiny ones.. big ones never madeup only. can i share you pics over Instagram or smthn? thanks again for replying 🙂

[@Procrastipainter]

Sure you can. @magnetic_lizbiz

[@timshelton4303]

Are you waiting for the white to thicken???

[@Procrastipainter]

Yes. Well, waiting for all the resin to thicken really but I can test the white in the cup

[@ekremyorulmaz9286]

Is the white paint you used to seal it acrylic paint?

[@Procrastipainter]

Yes, acrylic sealer and undercoat

[@patnichol1275]

Did you mix the white and let it sit for 20 min.?

[@Procrastipainter]

I start my timer when I start mixing parts A + B. I mix all the colours (including the white) but leave the white aside. When I'm about 20 minutes from the end of my working time I put the white down and use the heat gun straight away

[@twinlion3482]

How would you describe the white pigment resin when it's "ready" to pour?

[@Procrastipainter]

It's pretty thick, like cold honey consistency

[@twinlion3482]

Do you ever have issues pushing all of the white too far forward? I had to add another line of white to my last attempt because all of the white drifted forward. I wasn't sure if maybe I didn't have enough thickness in the clear, or maybe I just needed more of the white. Maybe I'm heating and pushing it for too long? I don't feel like I am, but figured I'd get your opinion.

[@Procrastipainter]

I usually keep an eye on the front of the wave and make sure I don't push it all. It might take you a few experiments to figure out how much/ little you need for different size pieces. If your clear had been settled while you waited, it's the right thickness, I find if I add more it just creeps later. But you can always add more white to fix any bare spots in your wave, and I know other ppl that like a solid white front. Play around with it 😉

[@rebeccawhite8501]

What kind of wood did you use?

[@Procrastipainter]

Ahhh I think it was either pine or ply I forget

[@dicaanimal2187]

Perfeito! I tried everything... can't make the waves...

There's a LOT of practice that goes into finding the right conditions for your resin and pigments. Keep trying!
