Hi! Thanks for the video and all the tips! I painted my new board with the Posca paint pens and I really want to make sure that it doesn’t come off when I use it. Is there a particular clear coat you recommend using? Or any other tips for how to make sure there’s enough of the clear coat to protect it?

@WelzieArt

Жыл бұрын

Any clear spray acrylic will work from Home Depot or hardware store. Only need about 2 light coats. Shake can really well. Spray. Hold can about 12” away from board and keep the spray moving. You don’t want to create a puddle of clear spray. 2 light coats is plenty. Good luck, have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼

Great video + tips! Is a clear coat necessary for a softtop if using Posca paint pens?

@WelzieArt

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks!! Posca pens might work for a little bit on a soft too but will rub off pretty quickly. An oil based paint pen will be your best bet on a soft top. Sharpie makes a great oil paint pen. With the oil pens you won’t need a clear coat

I going to resin a skateboard deck I painted with posca pens and acrylic paint. Do I need to do a crystal clear coat first before the resin? I heard that posca bleeds with just resin, but I’m not sure if that’s true. Any info would be helpful… thanks for all your videos!

@WelzieArt

2 жыл бұрын

Do not do a crystal clear coat before doing a resin finish. It will not work. You can resin directly over the paint pens. Polyester Resin will not bond with clear spray acrylic. Epoxy resin might work over spray acrylic but try first. I haven’t had much luck. Posca generally doesn’t bleed in resin but sometimes I do get bleeding on custom dark blues I mix but other than that no posca bleeding under resin. Good luck!

Thanks! What if I want to paint on soft top board? Should I sand it and use acrylic paint too? Or should I just jump into painting?

The soft top will work best with enamel pens. No need to sand with anything oil based. Hope this helps! Aloha

I did posca on my board and sprayed over it with a uv clear spray. It looks so good I don’t think I even need to go to finer grit sandpaper or do a gloss coat. I will probably spray the whole board lightly with it maybe 2 coats.

Awesome! Yeah 1 coat is fine but a second coat will protect it even more if you are going to surf it. And you’re right you don’t need to gloss over the clear spray, the gloss won’t even stick to the clear spray anyway. Great job! Stoked for you 🤙🏼

Hey I’m painting a board before it’s glassed- do you recommend putting a primer down or anything before I paint?

@WelzieArt

Жыл бұрын

If your painting on the foam it’s best not to put down a primer. The less paint the better especially if you’re going to surf it. The best paint for painting on surfboard foam is nova paint. It “crystallizes “ the least amount

Do you recommend using the clear acrylic spray if I am going to be using the board all the time? And how long does the spray generally last in protecting the art?

Yes. Definitely use acrylic spray over acrylic paint. It will protect the board for years with heavy use. It works great. Stay inspired 🤙🏼

Just sand the area which you need to draw. Clear coat just that area as well. If it’s a new board you really don’t need to sand much at all. If it’s a used board just sand enough to where you want to draw has no shiney spots on it. Have fun stay inspired!🤙🏼

Hallo Wwlzie Grate Info an sweet Art work . I'm looking to paint on a P U surf board( between the fins) . Is it good to us this product: "spryMax 2k clear coat" , or will it be a normal 1k is enough? With gratitude Galil

@WelzieArt

Жыл бұрын

Hi! The 2k clear coat will be fine. I usually do 2-3 light coats anyway. Do one coat with the 2x and see how it goes. If it looks like you need another coat, spray one on. The only issue with to much clear coat is weight. But if your not busting airs in a comp or pulling in at pipe the 6 gram weight added won’t make any difference. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼

I just bought a new board that is glossed and I wanted to add a design to it. Is it okay to sand a glossed board? If so, do I sand only the areas I am designing with my paint pen? And after I paint will the clear coat be applied to only the painted areas? Would it match the glossing of the rest of the board? Lol sorry so many questions but I just don’t want to ruin the board!

@WelzieArt

Жыл бұрын

Hi! If you’re board is glossed you will have to sand the area where you will apply the paint pen. Then you will have to seal it with a spray finish which will not match the gloss coat. You could gloss over the art with resin but that is quite hard and then you would have to polish it. All of this is quite difficult to achieve a high quality finish. An option would be to use oil based pens. They will stay on the gloss coat but their longevity will be short due to no protection from scratches. A surfboard that is glossed is hard to add artwork too, unless you do a lot of sanding and glossing and polishing. I hope I don’t sound discouraging. I don’t want you to ruin the board. Surfboards that don’t have a gloss are easier to paint. One thing you could do is have a local surfboard builder or ding guy sand the side of the board you want to draw on to 320 grit for you. Then you are free to draw all you want and put a finish over your art. Good luck and stay inspired 🤙🏼

@WelzieArt

Bottom or top doesn’t matter. When I used to draw on the North Shore pros they always wanted the top for the picture aspect but it’s whatever you want on your board. 3-4 layers of clear coat is plenty. I usually did 2-3 max. Really thin layers is best. Sounds like you nailed it. Have fun. Stay inspired 🤙🏼

You don’t clean it. Use clean hands just to wipe it down from dust. It’s what I do. You don’t necessarily have to wipe a board before gloss. You can of course but it’s only really needed if you have a really dirty work environment where overspray is getting on it.
