Slawface Skateboards How to silk screen a skateboard

[phizerbabies250]

ohhhhhhh man. Embarassing.

[phizerbabies250]

HAHAHAAH....and this is why you can't do it yourself.

[JoshFuckingAlso]

Sweet tunes and skates.

[bmxsk8er22]

were do you buy your blanks from?

[1996snoop1]

do you ever have problems with the ink getting under the screen and smearing? Whenever i print, even with the fixture, the ink seems to get under the parts of the screen where it is concave and then i have to do a bunch of sanding to get it off

[onslought8dubious]

cool vid man ive been screen printing for about three years and thats the goal skateboards

Where do you buy ur blanks?

[carlosduran]

Do you clean the screen with the spray bottle of acetone? Awesome taste in tunes btw.

Thanks for the video. I've wanted to print on a board for a long time but have never had the chance. I teach screen printing and a few people have been asking me about this so i'll re direct them to your video. What grade of squeegee blade are you using? I always thought a softer one would bend with the contours of the board.

thanks for the video man I plan to do 3-color screen print on my skateboard

[ProfesserTristen]

oh also...can you somehow silk screen a graphic across the whole deck? and how?

[Slawfaceskateboards]

@ProfesserTristen  that seems to be the holy grale of printing on skateboards. I have not mastered it I intend to make a vid on how to print the nose and tail life has just been crazy lately.

[ProfesserTristen]

well first how do you just put paint on the bottom of the deck...like how yours are green? please Respond

[Slawfaceskateboards]

@ProfesserTristen yes I just bought decent quality paint at a hardware store then rolled a few coats on.

[RookiesSkateGear]

@ProfesserTristen by acrylic paint from any art shop. and use a small gloss roller the spounge type not the emulsion type roller has to be spounge to get perfect coat with out air bubbles. the rollers are about 4" in length. and can just wash them under warm water.

AMAZING! Literally you blew my mind I was looking for this for so long, got a question though where do you buy the screen thingy, mos important where do you go so they can transfer your logo to the plastic screen?

[Slawfaceskateboards]

@BLlZER not quite sure what you mean by screen thingy? most screen printing shops places that make t-shirts will "burn" your image on a screen for like 15 bucks

[Slawfaceskateboards]

@BLlZER not sure what you mean by screen thingy? Any place that makes shirts should be able to "burn" your image on a screen for you normally charge like 15 bucks.

[BLlZER]

@Slawfaceskateboards That's what I mean where do you buy the screen? and what type of place do they burn the image in the screen? I live in Portugal and went to various places no one knew what the fuck was I saying.

[TheDerrik22]

how many times can you use the screen and do u make your boards too or do u get blanks and print on them ?

[Slawfaceskateboards]

@TheDerrik22 a lot lol not quite sure but as long as you clean your screen after your runs you should be able to make a ton of boards

[spacemanonshrooms]

[Slawfaceskateboards]

@iWantYourUsername  its kinda tricky I still have not mastered it myself

[madmanmagee7]

what are some good American skateboard suppliers?

great vid.thanks alot

[selanacscreenprintr]

Slaw, I sent you an email from my account beginning with ScreenPrintR.

Just some screen printing tips that might help you. Will also help you learn how to expose your own screens instead of paying $15 each time you need a new screen.

If you have the screen printing part down, you can do the exposing very easy. Many people give us cause they can't do one or the other.

Your boards came out awesome.

[MrSteezskate15]

very helpful video!...best one on here...it would be great if you could post a video on how to do the nose and tail. your way of printing makes the most sense

[oshla4lif]

im starting my own board compony sorta and i want to do sreen printing but how do you get logogs on your screen

[Slawfaceskateboards]

@oshla4lif you can either do it yourself- Look up how to burn a screen for screenprinting or take it to a place with your blank screen and transfer of your logo and they normally burn the image on the screen for 20 bucks or so

[Slawfaceskateboards]

Thanks glad you liked it

[breakingbeatz]

Awesome stuff. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make and upload this. This should be shared!
