The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[RUSSELL]

Hate to miss a day. Dscddwn's Icon ghost, gotta luv that stamp.

yep. awesome.

 

[El Duderino]

Dan, love the spin-dye and brainwave combos, the two techniques complentnt each other well.

Now if I'm looking for my disc and sombody asks what it looks like I can just say "Orange"! Besides I wanted to dye a thrower that was easy to find.

Some dip,mostly acetone and a little SC

 

[SERE Nate]

That's awesome

 

[Dan Howard]

Luv it Dude, a great novel idea! I can see a whole bag of 'em, let's see, a 375 flex shot, gonna need my Kiwi

Has anyone tried using ink base as a dye? I recently turned a clear MVP vector a really neat blue/purple with some base and black-ink just mixed up and set the disc in. I noticed a website with tons of different colors and it literally took like 3 drops of the ink to get the color. New to the whole process but it was easier than I thought! Would love to hear your guys experienced thoughts--

Awesome! I showed my wife that dye and that was what she said too, a whole bag of citrus discs.

^ As long as we leave grapefruit out.... Ewwww.

 

[bigmanbailye]

The citrus idea is good, except every now and then you get a lemon. LEMON! Get it? Is this thing on?...

 

[Prafeston]

Yeah, that orange is awesome!

 

[El Duderino]

awww, thanks guys, I've got 2 sided fruit disc in the seedling stage now....

 

[koogs]

El Dude, love the orange! These are some of my recent ones. The discraft stamp got me on the Pink Panther. The Danny DeVito image came out great, but the disc got discolored (no pun intended). Out of 80-some discs I've dyed, this is the 3rd time that's happened. Don't know why. :wall:

 

[pfpro]

Nothing like the master's, but some of my recent ones....

not fun to hand cut, but pretty pleased with how it came out. I can't imagine how someone drew this pattern....

was kind of in a rush to get this done for a friend going to Russia, so my not the greatest technique suffered even more. Logo from the Russian Disc Golf Association

That's friggin' awesome.

Out of 80-some discs I've dyed, this is the 3rd time that's happened. Don't know why.

I saw this frequently if i let the dye get too hot. it seems to penetrate the vinyl at a certain temperature. the bubbles in the vinyl then leave the spots since its not making direct contact.

 

[copterstyle]

My best friend Josie on a Road Runner. A big thanks to KCDISCDOG for help with the design. I missed a little goobers from the vinyl in the corner of the eye and ear :doh:.

 

[Disc Fiend]

EPIC.

I dye at 90 - 100 degrees.

 

[Prafeston]

EPIC.

Agreed, that's awesome!!

 

[Dan Howard]

Koogs I've seen spots on MVP plastic before but I got a feeling your other episodes were with something else so probably no help. I will say that the detail in the hair is frick'n amazing, that all just hand cut stencil work??? :clap:

 

[El Duderino]

^^^didn't catch that on first view, the hair illistrates some CRAZY attention to detail AND execution. :thmbup:Koogs
