So I wanted to start this thread to have you guys post your pics of dyed discs as they were right when you dyed them and then years later. Also include how it was dyed disc mold / plastic type and how they have spent the years that have passed. I just want to see how different they are and if they have faded and how dye has continued to move and blur the lines and make them thicker etc. I want to compare plastics and techniques and see if we can narrow things down to get the longest lasting dye. Plus I just think its interesting to see how the dye changes over time.
I have my last 3 OKTHROBERFEST entries to start things off.
The Joker was dyed in October 2016 and has been bagged and thrown since it was dyed. It is on a Dynamic Discs Lucid Verdict and it was a combination of Dip Dyes and Laundry soap painted dye. The top picture was taken in October of 2016 the bottom was taken today.
The Scavenger was dyed in October 2017 and was bagged an thrown for about 2 years before it got bumped out of my bag. It is on a Dynamic Discs Lucid Evidence and it was a combination of Dip Dyes and Laundry soap painted dye. The top picture was taken in October of 2017 the bottom was taken today.
Pretty Princess was dyed in October 2018 and has been box kept in the house since the day it was dyed. It is on a Dynamic Discs Lucid Justice and it was a combination of Dip Dyes and Laundry soap painted dye. The top pic is form October 2018 and the bottom pic was taken today.
It is crazy to me how much some of the dye has migrated the black on pretty princess has more than doubled the thickness of the original lines. And the blue on BB8 is the same thing and the jokers red lips moved beyond the black outline.
I wonder if changing the dye concentration (less dye to the same amount of water or laundry soap) or something like that would make a difference. I also wonder about plastic types and brands when I do an extensive dye like this I generally use DD Lucid because I can get it in white and it seems to hold the color good. I wonder how different they would look dyed on star plastic or goldline or champ?
I have some more comparisons on different plastic that I will be adding as I find the pictures. Feel Free to add your own comment and whatever!
