Important Tip to be Aware of: Rit dye has been reformulated and the new stuff won't dye discs. If you use liquid, make sure there is no "ND" stamped on the cap, and if you use the powder, make sure there is no "ND" printed on the back of the pouch (inside the box). ND = "No Discs" :thmbdown:

Another tip, don't start with a new disc, practice on anything you can get your hands on.

I have done 4 dye's now. I went threw the basic's thread, but am still having issues getting the contact paper to disc after cutting. I tried cutting on the disc...once was enough! That was a horrible dye.

Does anyone have tips for cutting and transferring your contact paper/vinyl.

I cut out my vinyl then apply the contact paper over that. i weed once i get it on the disc.

Transfer tape is what I use, also go get some real vinyl from the local sign shop instead of contact paper, that'll give you better results. Ask for premium scraps.. scotchcal works for me

Apply disc to vinyl not vinyl to disc
