lets talk about stains

[Paco Supreme]

Is it common that it doesn't? i've only seen it once, where top was pink and bottom was purple, wasn't mad about that though, looked cool flipping the board over

I guess not but brands are getting wacky these days with split plies etc. as I said my (dipped) welcome had green bottom ply/ natural top ply combo which I thought was weird...

Yeah all of welcomes dipped boards are 6 natty and a stained bottom, ive got a few like that too

good to know. I don't mind it per se (and the dip let me have a nice griptape design), it was certainly cool the first few scratches I put on it ... glad it wasn't red though

I prefer my top, middle, and bottom plys stained. I really don't care what the color is. I just need them stained.

If I get a board that doesn't have a top stain I'll spray the edge so there's color. I don't know why, but a natural top ply kills me.

I always set up a new board when I scrape through the middle ply so having it stained is lazy but nice.

is DGK innovating in the ply game?
3 color Mexican flag stain under the graphic. pretty sick

The Pennswood and Northern Co stains I like.
Split veneers, especially on the bottom ply, seem like invitation for disaster. Places for that bottom play to catch, chip, delam? Or am I wrong.

What about those crazy vertical ply decks? No one sells them, even as some kinda special thing?

I always thought it was an excuse to glue excess scraps together and sell it as a novelty. I'm surprised to see split veneers return.

Exactly Chavo. Using shorts and fall offs is like using free veneers.

dwindle did these v-ply decks for cliche and zero. dont know if they will live on with another brand.

[Paco Supreme]

I've seen these around the place and it looks like a cool effect, not sure just how sturdy they would be for anyone looking for more than just a moving plank however

[Sondor]

I thought that topic would be about sweat stains on your pants, skating in the summer

[Baron Samedi]

the only stain I care about is nik

came in here to make this joke, clearly my expertise is not needed

The ply color is directly related to what day of that week the bread was made.

Monday - Blue

Tuesday - Green

Thursday - Red

Friday - White

Saturday - Yellow

So now you don't have to smell or squeeze a deck to know how fresh the bread it's made of is.

I don't think so, I've been skating the new Busenitz Low ProII with the yellow and blue strips, a lot of board and nose slides & I haven't seen an issue yet. I was thinking the same thing when I first bought this deck, time will tell, but looks good now.
