.i love that you guys are so interested for the final outcome!

Watching people try new and crazy techniques is always a joy. Whether it works of fails spectacularly. It all adds to the toolbox of dyeing.

alright guys drumroll.........FAIL.....haha pics coming up sometime tonight....my technique was borrowed from the autobody industry.....take layers of cheesecloth...like 4-6 layers....stretch over disc..put it on a plate deep enough to hold the disc inside....and then i mixed some liquid dark brown (the only brown i currently have) and some shaving cream into a thick liquid mix...put it in a regular dollar store spray bottle and sprayed it on the cheesecloth....defintely works for autobody..not for disc dyeing...:wall:

What kind of plastic was it? That may be part of the problem...

I don't know if proline will dye. Your best bet is to try it on star.

 

[mygunsbigger]

I'd think it'd take on the pro. you need to find someone to sacrifice a couple-few champs to experiment with it on though...:hfive:

Still stoked for the pics!

or stars... like he^^^^ said

Not sure on the proline stuff. ESP, Star, or the old opaque MVP Ions are probably the best canvas for what you are attempting.

 

[codus1984]

ah....ok well then i don't feel completely let down...i will go grab a star this weekend and give er another try!! i don't give up too easy.....anyone else try this technique i'd love to see it work!!! as far as this rhyno....anyone looking for a rhyno?! hahahaha i may also try a cut tree...rings and all....and do a cocoa brown quick dip for base color then hand paint with dark brown rings...would be awesome....

 

[codus1984]

here's what it looks like after hearing all this makes me believe that it was the plastic...i wouldn't generally post my fails...but you guys showed so much interest...still dissapointed but hey....

Here is the brighter side of what you call a fail:
1) you tried something new, and learned something from it
2)your disc doesn't look too bad, and is still usable for another dye if you want
3)you entertained us

thanks for sharing

 

[codus1984]

thank dsplay....i can't wait to try again...i want others to try too!! i still have faith in this technique...and this rhyno is def getting wood rings....

 

[mygunsbigger]

no prob enzy...i would love to see someone try this technique...i'm not sure if the shaving cream is the way to go with the spray mixture....maybe try some detergent...eh..may produce too many bubbles out of the sprayer....anyone please attempt this process...i've dopped over 80$ in plastic lately need to wait a bit before buying more
