You got me peabody, although I did read it tons of times, I didn't follow it exactly. Everyone's got their own ways of doing it, and some of the videos and posts I saw people were having great results with the rit/acetone mix, no so much for me. Mine were total disasters. I re-read you...

I actually used some of the free 3M stuff I got, but others on here have said they use the walmart contact paper with no problems at all. I think my main problem was mixing my dye with acetone and it being way too hot which made my vinyl peel.

I've played all 3 of those at least 10 times each since I got here at the end of July. During the summer its a little easier to drive to play courses because the days are longer. I'm pretty limited in the winter on playing after work. I played all 2 of those courses quite a few times. I...

I played Winwood, Northside and Timber Lane today. I'm working in S. Houston, and most of the courses around here are pretty lame. I usually make some road trips during the weekend to make my days go by so I don't drive myself crazy sitting in a hotel all weekend. I work until 3:30 at the...

I'm still in the Houston area. I'm remodeling a Firestone store on Harrisburg Blvd, and the city inspectors have been a bunch of d%cks about it. Been red flagged 5 times because they come in on their high horses making us make changes every time we something they want us to do. They come back...

4.00 star(s) Great course!! This is another beautiful course!! Great map near the first t-pad shows the entire course, pads, flight paths and distances. Great use of shots here. Some longer holes, a few shorter one, all mixed in very well. There is a big creek that comes into play on a few holes. An...

3.50 star(s) Great church course Was pleasantly surprised upon my arrival of this course. There's a great map that shows A and B t-pad location, flight paths and distances. Also a practice basket near first t-pad. Playing both t-pads gives you 2 completely different looks for each hole. I really liked how...

3.00 star(s) Nice new course This is a nice little course in a neighborhood park. Baseball and soccer field, swimming pool, kids playground and plenty of picnic benches makes for a great day at the park with the whole family. Great use of land. There are some short shots, long shots, straight shots, left...

Well what I didn't do was mix the rit with acetone. I used hot tap water and liquid black rit. I dipped the disc and let it set for about 20 minutes or so, checking every 5 minutes. I am very pleased with this one. The 4 hairline bleeds I have actually are running down the edges of the RAFT...

I do wash my disc after cleaning off the factory stamp with warm water and soap, and make sure its dry dry dry!! I decided to give it another shot tonight, and low and behold......success!!! There are a couple teeny tiny bleeds near the discraft stamp, but you can barely see them. Overall I'm...

Thanks yrmnbrsup and peabody, I needed a laugh after getting so frustrated.....again!! I've read and re-read your tutorial a bunch of times. I cleaned my disc with acetone, then cleaned it again with warm water and soap, dried it off with a clean towel, then even took the blow dryer to it just...

Wow, so it is just me....lol. I'm going to give it another shot, I got tons of vinyl and a bag of discs I never throw, its just getting frustrated. I've gotten more patient and meticulous with each dye, making sure its completely smooth and not pulling it back at all, but I can't even get a...

After following the dye threads the last couple months, I've decided to give it a shot. You all make it seem and look so easy. I've had 4 epic, EPIC failures so far. My first dye I got way too exited and bought some **** vinyl from Walmart and used black powder rit mixed with water. I got the...

I placed my order on 12/16, recieved a call the next day. Told the guy I was a startup sign business, was using the Oracal 651 and wanted to try some 3M stuff, courtesy of the info you nice folks here on DGCR provided in earlier posts. I recieved 2 big boxes at my house on 12/24, one huge roll...

Thanks drick, I don't know what happened when I tried to post the video the first time. I was trying to edit my post when I noticed it didn't embed, but ran out of time. I'm a long time reader, first time poster......rookie, eh?? Anyways, I've seen a bunch of other people post video's of...
