Colorkast Resin Colorant - Olive Green Pigment (Paste-Style)

Colorkast Olive Green Pigment is a premium, "paste-style" resin colorant designed for professional surfboard glassing. This sophisticated, earth-toned hue is a staple for military-inspired aesthetics, vintage "logs," and contemporary alternative shapes. Unlike standard liquid dyes that can fade or shift in color over time, Colorkast’s high-quality paste formula provides a vibrant, lightfast finish that maintains its organic depth for the life of the board.

This colorant is engineered for absolute versatility: depending on the "color-load" added to your resin, you can achieve a transparent tint or a solid opaque pigment. When used as a Resin Tint, it creates a subtle "colored glass" effect, allowing the natural foam texture and wood stringer to show through with a muted, olive glow. Increasing the amount of paste transforms the mixture into a deep Opaque Pigment, providing a bold, solid color-block that is ideal for masking foam imperfections or creating high-contrast military-style rail bands.

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

Key Features:

• Paste-Style Formula: Higher pigment concentration than liquid dyes with superior resistance to UV fading.
• Variable Transparency: Effortlessly transition from a light "sage" tint to a deep, solid "army olive" pigment.
• Professional Grade: Specifically formulated for the surfboard industry to ensure a consistent resin cure and a high-gloss finish.
• Earth-Toned Palette: Provides a sophisticated, organic green that stays true even in high-UV environments.
• Resin Compatible: Works seamlessly with all standard laminating and surfacing resins.

Pro Tip: Olive Green is a dense pigment. To achieve a perfectly flat opaque finish, ensure your resin is mixed thoroughly and your lamination is pulled tight to the foam. This prevents "mottling" or variations in color depth that can occur with thicker resin pools.
