I do surfboard designs and was wondering if I sent you guys a picture of a surfboard that I had drawn on, if you guys could copy that mural that I did would you be laminating it onto the foam or would it be on the outside of the board?
Hey Thomas,
We would be able to print out your design on cloth and then laminate the art directly onto the foam and be sealed into the lamination.
There are a couple of things you would have to do to get the best results. First you would need to use a high-resolution, mega-pixel camera to capture the image with proper lighting. Second, given the process of surfboard contruction, you would need for your art to bleed outside of the outline of your surfboard. Meaning your design is laminated onto the foam and then the excess is trimmed off to the silhouette of your surfboard. If your design is already trimmed, it is next to impossible to laminate it onto a shaped blank and have it come out looking perfect.
So, one option to do in your case, would for us to resize your artwork slightly bigger (around 2″ should be fine) than what your actual board size and then you would have to live with the trimmed off excess of your art.
Hope that helps.
hey guys,
so i just need some clarification w your graphics. can you actually laminate a new color scheme on a board that’s already finished, glassed, sanded , and w preexisting laminates? if yes, does that mean you have to reglass over the new laminate to keep it intact?
joe
Joe,
You generally wouldn’t re-glass a board just to change the graphics. It would add a lot of weight.
For a board that is already finished, you would either posca pen or spray paint a new design over the existing one. Then seal it with a clear acrylic.
For a new board, we either airbrush or laminate a design onto the foam and then it is either sand or glossed over with resin and cloth over the design. Protects the artwork and makes the colors pop.
