Idye poly question.

[MaynardJ4193]

If I want to make the entire packet of dye, and store it for later, how much water should I use. (Search isn't working for me)

i have been using a standard size mason jar. i believe they are 1 quart (32oz). the dye seems to be concentrated well enough and there is enough liquid dye that way to last for quite a long time.

I do the same.

Thanks guys, I have a 28oz jar. That should work about the same I imagine.

I store mine in the garage. Still work fine for cold shaving cream marbles.

Once you've got that mix, what's the best way to use it for the spin painting technique? I'm thinking of mixing it with shaving cream and painting that on

When you guys mix the IDye Poly, do you use the "color intensifier" packet as well?

Thanks for the quick reply. ^_^ Mixing up a batch to try my first shaving cream die. Will post results tomorrow!

have fun..

i may suggest a practice disc. also you can practice your technique laying down the dye into the bed. if you dont like what you did just scoop out the dye add more and start over. better than ruining the disc with a bad dye.

I should have done a practice disc, I have enough lying around. lol. Ah well, it's already setting for the night.

practice on discs in your bag, they are the ones which are gonna be beat up and lost. That's what I did lol

To date I've only lost three discs. I've gotten two of them back, and I'm still counting on getting the third back because it was at a private course. Just gotta wait until they dredge up the ponds. lol.

Finished my first die, doesn't look to terrible I suppose. Posting in the Marbling Die thread.

I think the general consensus is that the intensifier is unnecessary and actually leads to more mess & hassle.
