(TLDR) what do you do with discs right after spin dye, before handling to make sure colors set?
(Cool story bro) I did a couple of entry level spin dyes. I have used the rit dyemore with lotion bed (or direct application on disc) very successfully. I've watched some TDIDI spin videos a while back, and finally decided to try one. He puts a few light layers on, and that's it. I did the same, and they looked ok, until a few hours later. I picked them up and noticed the dyed edge felt 'rough,' and thought the tiny amount of acetone mixed with dye had etched the disc. Nope. The roughness was the dye itself, dried out and brushed off leaving very faint (but still kinda ok) color.
