Dye Mixtures

[Albatross]

I have all the materials I need to dye my Star Wraith, I just don't know how to mix the Rit Dye. I tried dying a disc once, but I followed the directions on the box, and it came out too watered down. After scanning some threads on here I heard some utterances of using Vinegar to make it "pop". I have also heard something about using some kind of soap, but I have no idea what proportions to use with either of these mixes. Help Anyone?!?!

P.S. Is there any way that I wouldn't have to use the whole box of the dye to dye a disc? just wondering, Thanks!

Use the whole box. Add @ 20 oz of water. Stir/shake.

You can reuse the dye for other projects.

can you just drip it on this way, or are you supposed to let it soak? if you are supposed to let it soak, how long for?

You'll want to warm it up, should not be so warm/hot that you cant touch it and hold your hand to the side of the pot. After its warm let the disc sit in it for about 15-20 or you've achieved the color you want. Good luck!
