Brainwavedisc aka Jeff Ash recently demonstrated a new painting method using a turntable and dye. Here's my practical application, please feel free to add whatever might be working for you.
Set-up
A box fan with the guards removed and the three way speed switch replaced with a $5 basic rotary dimmer switch. To center you to set the disc down and while slowly speeding it up bring in the yardstick in and allow it to remove the high side.
I used powder rit and acetone, experimented using a brush and q-tips, sometimes with dye and sometimes just acetone. I would have done more but used up the last of the acetone pretty early on. I think thickeners (dishsoap...) may be helpful in creating smoother gradients but need to try it out, coming soon!
