Type: Merlot Tint
Price: 9.00 - 28.00 (2 variants)

Colorkast Merlot Tint is a premium, "paste-style" resin colorant designed for professional surfboard glassing. Offering a sophisticated, deep wine-red hue, this high-quality paste formula provides vibrant colors that are far more resistant to UV fading than traditional liquid dyes. Whether you are looking for a subtle "burgundy" glow or a bold, solid wine finish, Colorkast delivers a professional-grade result.

This colorant is engineered for complete versatility: depending on the amount added to your resin, you can achieve a transparent tint or a solid opaque pigment. When used as a Resin Tint, it creates a "colored glass" effect, allowing the foam texture and wood stringer to show through with a rich, translucent depth. Increasing the color-load transforms the mixture into an Opaque Pigment, providing a solid, non-transparent finish that is perfect for bold color-blocks or hiding foam imperfections.

Colorkast paste-style colorants are highly concentrated and disperse easily in both polyester and epoxy resins, ensuring a streak-free, professional finish in the glassing bay.

Key Features:

Paste-Style Formula: Higher pigment concentration than liquid dyes with superior resistance to fading.

Versatile Transparency: Achieve everything from a light "rosé" tint to a deep, dark Merlot pigment.

Professional Grade: Specifically formulated for the surfboard industry to ensure a consistent resin cure.

Rich & Vibrant: Provides a sophisticated wine-red tone that stays true over time.

Resin Compatible: Works seamlessly with all standard laminating and surfacing resins.

Pro Tip: Merlot is a deep color that can look very dark if applied too thick. When performing a resin tint lamination, pull your squeegee consistently to ensure an even thickness across the board, which will maintain a uniform color depth from nose to tail.
