I was looking in the bin at Play-it-Again the other day for clear-ish champion plastic. I found one I liked but didn't realize until I got home that it was a glow disc (Glow Orc for $10 :D). If I use acetone to wipe the stamp and then put a dye on this disc, will the chemicals or the heat have any adverse affect on the glow properties (other than not glowing through the dye)?

I'm not sure, but for $10 - I'd say that you have one to practice on and let us all know...;)

Acetone did not effect the glow at all, and I won't be dying any of the rim, so It'll still glow real well.

Not going to do Achmed......yet. I found another pic I wanted to do. Results later today.

I'm a little disappointed in that 1 bleed, but otherwise I'm satisfied. And still glows like a champ!;)

Yeah, that's my next dye. I just liked this image better for some reason.

I think that dye is awesome... Achmed can wait a little longer. He's a big boy.
