A single colour decoration, with dyed resin, is fairly easy to achieve. A few drops of coloured pigments into the resin that you will use to glass-on your board, until you obtain the desired colour, then add 1 to 1,5% catalyst and glass on !! For more advanced results, or swirls, keep in mind that your blank will be coloured only in the same colour it has first been in contact with. Let your imagination do the work, using opaque dyes or translucent dyes... The pigment should never represent more than 3% of the total resin volume in order to allow the polymerization to happen. Don't forget that you will have 10 to 15 minutes to achieve your work !

The POSCA paint marker is a water paint marker. A well known brand in the street art/graffiti worlds, it is generally used for decoration onto a finished board. The design/drawing must then be varnished with a "spray finish", to be fully protected against water, as water paint dissolves in....water ! The POSCA markers have a bevelled tip, which will allow thin or thicker lines.
