Looks good I bet Kyle likes it. What happened on the bottom corner of the disc?

[gusc2375]

I didn't cover it up well enough.

Kyle is in bed he will see it in the morning then it will be his disc, but he will still let me throw it.

When it comes to the tacky stuff left behind from contact paper or vinyl here is what I do.

Run some hot water, under the water scrub the disc with a clean terrycloth towel or washcloth. I like the towels that you can get for detailing cars. a pack of 25 for about $10.

The design looks good the only suggestion I would have is use transfer tape to put the design on your disc after you cut it out. Don't worry about buying transfer tape, just get the thick (2 inch or better) masking tape and desensitize it on your shirt. Or pay a little more and get the low tack tape.

All in all, nice job!

Usually the dye will only take about 15 minutes at the most for me, and I find that the sticky residue stays on the champion plastic if it's in for that long or the dye's too hot. But vettekrazy's right, just hot water and scrubbing will take it off eventually.

I know other people have said no to Goo Gone but I use it very fast and then wash off and have had no fade or discoloration problems.

Yeah thats to long like kanuga said a max of 15 min is fine i did my first at 15 minutes and got some stickyness from the vinyl but you can do like 13 minutes on champion disc's and works just as good with less of the stickyness on it.
