Poth-

How has that "controltac" 3M vinyl worked out for you, I got the free roll from 3M and the previous comments regarding bleeding has made me nervous to use it on anything.

 

[Jabanger]

I got some of the 3M vinyl and love it. Plus there is a ton of it. Doing a dye with it right now. I'll post it in a few mins.

im sticking with oracal 651. no bleeds or residue. plotter didnt like the 3m stuff either.

might have liked it more if i went with a more manageable roll...15" seems to work the best. the 48"ers that i got are a pain to deal with.

Come on, man... you know I'm not that dumb.

 

[agent_peebody]

dude, you'd be surprised how many people think you can dye on black discs. a RIDICULOUS amount of people do

 

[AJ_86]

Well, you can.

It's a waste of time... but you can.

i thought you were serious too.:\

 

[AJ_86]

I'm never serious, except when I am.

But I made sure to read up on the dye process before ordering one. I like to know what I'm paying for, you know?

So.... these circles were a PITA to cut out. Dyed on a FLX Surge SS (the stamp is gold)

Actually I used sticky window mesh that I picked up at my work. All the free vinyl I can carry!

 

[BennettUA]

Good idea Ricky Bobby! Very neat effect, I see some other possibilities with your technique.

 

[AJ_86]

Very awesome... but why is there a few solid areas? I tried to see a pattern, but it looks random.

 

[Jabanger]

Just finished this. 170g Star TeeRex. It's a gift for my Mom.

 

[agent_peebody]

nice! i actually thought you made a wooden disc :\

 

[Apothecary]

e* wraith xout.

 

[agent_peebody]

stupid factory workers...when are they gonna learn to put that X on the back :wall:

 

[Apothecary]

it wasnt there before. i did it as part of the design.

 

[agent_peebody]
