Colorkast Resin Colorant - Yellow Pigment (Paste-Style)

Colorkast Yellow Pigment is a high-performance, "paste-style" resin colorant engineered for professional surfboard glassing. This vibrant, sunny hue is a staple for everything from classic 70s-style "honey" tints to bold, solid modern shapes. Unlike standard liquid dyes that are notorious for fading into a dull, washed-out shade after just a few sessions, Colorkast’s premium paste formula is UV-stable and lightfast, maintaining its high-energy "pop" for the life of the board.

This colorant offers total adaptability for any custom build: depending on the "color-load" added to your resin, you can achieve anything from a delicate transparent tint to a solid opaque pigment. As a Resin Tint, it creates a "colored glass" effect that allows the wood stringer and foam texture to shine through with brilliant, golden clarity. Increasing the amount of paste transitions the mixture into an Opaque Pigment, providing a bold, solid color-block that is perfect for masking foam imperfections or creating classic, high-contrast 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: Superior pigment concentration compared to liquid dyes with maximum resistance to UV fading.
• Vibrant Palette: Delivers a clean, energetic Yellow that stays true even in high-UV marine environments.
• Variable Transparency: Effortlessly transition from a light "lemon" tint to a deep, solid "canary" yellow pigment.
• Professional Consistency: Formulated specifically for the surfboard industry to ensure a perfect resin cure and high-gloss finish.
• Resin Compatible: Works seamlessly with all standard laminating and surfacing resins.

Pro Tip: To achieve a perfectly flat "Yellow" opaque finish, ensure your lamination is pulled tight to the foam. Because yellow is a bright pigment, any variation in resin thickness can cause subtle "mottling." A tight, even pull ensures a professional, uniform color from nose to tail.
