Has anybody had an issue with blue Spike it worm dip not taking on a disc? I ordered Chart, orange, blue and lime and the blue wont take at all. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, really dumb question and I dont have the time to read through all the pages,
Will Gold Line/Star/Tournament plastic take RIT Dye? Buddy of mine says it won't, but I used to dye lacrosse heads and RIT worked like a charm.
Thanks!

Hey. Never dyed a disc before so bear with me. I want to turn a disc into pure blue (no tie dye). I can only get the disc I want in either yellow or orange (soft floppy plastic). Is it possible to turn those colors into blue? If so what dye do I use? All my other discs are plain blue so I'd like to keep the same trend for this one if possible.
When you say soft floppy plastic, what do you mean?
Alot of plastic like that doesnt dye well (Gateway SSS for example)
But get some idye blue, mix a whole pack with like 1 mason jar of water, heat it up till its steaming, and then dunk the disc in. Then just keep checking till its as dark as you want.
The yellow disc will probably end up greenish tho. And orange may be brownish. But typically the dye mostly overpowers the plastic color, so you should be able to get a mostly blue color.
I mean Daredevil's plastic called elastic performance...https://infinitediscs.com/Daredevil-Walrus
If that plastic won't hold the dye I may not even bother. I guess the yellow is more likely to turn positive results if it does work tho cause it is lighter.
I want to keep the temp below boiling but enough to steam? Will the dye change the color of the pot? Can I use one that I normally eat out of?
Ive been trying out dying lately with the contact paper stencil method and always find that the adhesive is left on the disc after pealing off the stencil- how do you remove the adhesive without damaging the stencil?
When using shaving cream to get dye across the entire disc surface the discs end up smelling strongly like shaving cream. Are there any ways to get rid of the smell quickly?
It seems prodigy (and maybe others) stamps are slightly cut into the top of the discs and the dye ends up bleeding out of the stencil and running into the indentions and messing up my clean lines. This is after wiping the stamps. How do you avoid dye running outside the stencil?
(all questions based on contact paper stencils with I-dye poly // shaving cream)
Is there a color wheel or template that will show what colors work best with different colored discs? I just started this and it would be super helpful!!
First time posting anything.....
I am curious if leaving my setup out in the garage (it's been below 40°)
is actually fighting the dye from permeating the plastic?
Where as if I had it stashed somewhere safe in a higher temp it would help the dye and not congeal the medium I'm using to dye with.
I forgot to mention I am using a glue bed on an old Bandit from Legacy.
Also, you don't mention what type of dye you were using.
