...not that that's saying a whole lot. The white Innova Pro plastic doesn't seem to be taking as deep a color as I'd like. At least I'll have an easier time finding this disc in the snow ;)

Cool dye, but like you said, it doesn't look like the disc took the dye very well. The shape of the dye with the disc on the dark carpet makes the disc look ovally. :D

Pro plastic can be tough, the trick with pro or DX is very hot water/dye just short of boiling usually does the trick. Great design however!

I like it. It seams like the good dye jobs find a way to get lost...

I tried like crazy to dye a Pro Pig pink, and it wouldn't hold it. I am gonna try again with some new ideas. I dyed 2 JK Pro Aviar's orange, and what vettekrazy said works. I got the dye right before boiling and did numerous dips and it stuck.

Did that method not work on the pro-pig?

Here is a pro plastic disc that I did:

Same here! I thought it would be so clever

RIP

Went out yesterday in 5 degrees and a negative wind chill. Spidey hit a tree and shattered into (at least) 4 pieces. Looks like I need to find another Roc. :(

Latest dye job, from source (http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/images/logos/242_ToledoRocketsLogoLarge.jpg). Simple cut, just how I like it. :D

edit: Royal Blue on DX yellow Ontario Roc.

If you can get the color deeper the spider man would be sweet.

Yeah, unfortunately, Spiderman broke against a tree. Not cracked mind you. Exploded on contact. That's what I get for playing in 5 degree weather.

Last of tonight's batch. It's really hard to see in this picture, but the color is kind of a reddish purple, not black as it appears in the pic.

I'll bet you could. I'm no artist by any stretch of the imagination. All I did was find the base image on Google, printed it off once I resized it, taped it to the top of my contact paper and cut it out. Lots of straight lines, and nothing too intricate. If I do anything intricate ever again, I'm finding someone nearby that owns a vinyl printer :)

you should do one in pink and post it in the gay and lesbian section on ebay. jk it would be funny though. :)

Lavender dye on a pink disc might work ;)
