NEW DYE TECHNIQUE

[Dj1001]

It's pretty simple.
Step 1 splatter hot glue all over the disc
Step 2 stick disc in freezer for 5 min.
Step 3 dye disc for 2min. in hot water, place in the freezer for 2min. inbetween dye intervals to keep the glue from melting (repeat till desired color is achieved)
Step 4 peel off glue.

Very 80s! What sort of glue?

Another technique to try is finger-painting with vasoline. I dont have any at the moment, otherwise I'd give it a try.

This technique was covered on this forum about 2 years ago. I like the results and the organic nature of the results. I've attempted this in a not so organic nature, but couldn't control the glue as well as I would like.

What about using a non-permanant silicone caulk? Once it sets, I think it would be less temp. sensitive. Then it should peel off similarly

never had any luck, for consistency and if your dye is too hot it will dissolve the vaseline and if this happens your batch of dye is shot. Silicone seems like a good idea, I have cases of it from the last job I did..

I have mixed the dye with corn starch and water and a bit of acetone to achieve some pretty erratic looking splattered dyes. Fun to work with too. Just mix until you get the mixture so its thick enough to stay together but won't run.

elmers glue works as well

Silicone, just a bad Idea don't do it!

I played with hot glue a while back.

I used a rit acetone mix instead of having to use freezer/hot rit.

Thinking about old techniques... Someone once said they floated oil on a hot rit bath and got an interesting dye. Stir the oil vigorously then put in disc. Wherever the oil rises should resist dye. Anyone try this? Pics? I imagine just a tiny bit of oil would do the trick. Not an oil slick.

It would ruin the batch of dye though.

Bubble!

Here I try a technique with soap in the dye, then I blow with a straw and I held the disc at the edge of the bubbles ... see the result, interesting!
