Weather is a little colder now so a little less discin and a little more dying. Put these on a couple of throwers for my glow bag.

NICE!!! All the old school skate life FTWWWWWWWWWW

When life gives you a copper disc, it almost seems necessary.

No bleeds on this one...

Felt a bit better on this one. Switched vinyls and a new cutter blade and back to my standards of no bleeds. Dusted off some shaving cream skills as well. Took me a couple of attempts to get it right.

welcome back!

Day 3

Let's see if this thread can be jump started, we have three days in a row!

Yesterday I started air brushing again to refamerize myself to that whole process again. Acetone can be so touchy!

But also I experimented with applying stars to a space themed background by watering down Elmer's glue, dipping a paint brush in, and pealing back the bristles like your thumb on a tooth brush, sending speckles all over the mirror.

The process worked toooo well, as you can see I tried to wipe away a "heavy" drop and before dye, visually looked to be all cleaned up and free of glue. Not so, you can see the giant smudge and my disc is repeat with these errors. I'll show a full shot of the whole disc once it's done. Some of you veterans on the site can probably guess what I'm doing if I'm using an outer space themed airbrush dye.

But lessoned learned, thought I would share.

Well it didn't take me long to end the dye a day streak :/

But here is the boo boo disc
I'll post the second attempt tomorrow

We hosted a little one day tournamet for a few of our friends with my brother and dyed this disc to be the main prize.

I've dyed maybe three discs previously and never really got the hang of hand cutting the stencils. So when a public library close to where I live got this vinyl/sticker cutter, I wanted to give that a go. I'm really pleased how sharp everything turned out and how well the sticker stuck to the disc even in the 70°C / 160°F water I dyed it in. I used pink iDye Poly and expected it to come out more brown than red but I'm happy with the result.

Feeling better

The second take came out much better

 

[johnnydisc]

Haven't dyed a disc in close to 5 yrs. Got the itch the other day and dyed the 1984 disc. It needed a bit more "Flair", so I ordered some worm dye & broke out my turntable as well & added some color to a couple of white discs, too.

 

[bigmanbailye]

I'ma gonna hafta try...
Some of that worm dye. Suggestions?


In the mean time, here is a teaser of what I'm working on now.

Some people probably can't believe I'm partially wiping a first run stamp off

Keeping with the Star Wars theme I'm guessing Mace Windu?opcorn:

 

[johnnydisc]

I'll be honest - that was the first time I've ever used it and thought it was awesome. Instant gratification as there is no "dry time" needed. Put a little bit straight of the container into a little shot glass, did the circles, took the disc off the turntable, rinsed it, dried it, put the disc in the bag. Fantastic.

 

[ConverseBob]

Just finished this one up. Some colors ended up not turning out as planned, but the overall result was great.

 

[bigmanbailye]

Looks pretty cool Bob!

Yup. U see The sketch on the laptop screen.

 

[wolfmandragon]

Easter egg dye on Test Flight standard plastic Falcon...or at least that's what I ordered.

Easter egg... this gets me thinking, have you guys tried using a crayon as a method of putting down what amounts to a stencil that then can be wiped away? I've done this with Elmer's glue straight from the bottle, but I can only imagine that crayon or oil pastel would be more controllable and possibly lead to an very interesting aesthetic.
