It might take a faded dye, but not much more than that. Sorry, bud.
It'd better than Discraft Pro-D, but still not a very dye friendly blend. It will take a bit but requires more time and a heavier dye->delusion blend or acetone. Still, not going to take a ton...
so I just did my first dye using idye poly I mixed a small amount of the powder with straight acetone to "paint" the color on my disc. I also used contact paper for my stencil. Then using a foam brush, brushed on the color. The acetone ate some of the sticky stuff on the contact paper and bled color kinda badly.
What can I do to not get any bleed through? Should I use vinyl sign material? Or is there a mixture ratio that I could use?
The acetone/dye mixture gave me the super bright color I was looking for!
If it works, what a cool idea! Can't you do that with sharpies though?

Semi update on the marker dye front - I did some digging in a thread on here and it seems someone else tried filling the empty craft markers with dye and it didn't work.
There's a brand of worm dye manufacturer called Spike It that makes a dye marker, apparently they work fine. A google search found only a few colors available in an unscented option, no black, which was a bummer.
