Man, this thread has died over the last few months, what happened to the days of a dye a day? Maybe it'll pick up once winter sets in...
Well, I was going to post up my first hand cut dye ( 5th dye done total ) but I don't want to embarrass myself .
The cuts werent that bad for my first attempt but like a dumb ass I dropped the disc when I was placing it in the dye and got dye all in side the bottom of the disc. Then when I tried to rinse it out after the first dip in the dye it ran all under the vinyl and bled around the rim and seeped onto the flight plate. :doh:
I have never had that happen yet but I did learn two things:
1. DO NOT DROP A DISC INTO THE DYEPAN !
2. Next time seal that overlapping vinyl up nice to try to prevent this if #1 happens...
I feel like throwing it in the trash, even though it was a used disc I was giving to a friend because he throws that mold.
I almost dont want him or anybody else to see it for that matter :gross:.
Hats off to you guys that can pull off hand cutting and make it look like it was a plotter cut stencil :hfive:.
I will only do machine cut stencils from now on and now I have 11' of 631 left to use for masking purposes .
