Did these last night/\ it's the first two pics. I have a question though, there is sticky stuff on the disc? I'm positive it's from the vinyl. Does anyone know a way to keep that from happening or how do get it off? I'm using regular greenstar and oracle vinyl.

Great job Man! How long did it take you to cut? I had at least 3 hours and 6 or 8 beers

I think you are referring to the adhesive residue. Step one is doing a good job preparing the disc and cleaning it before the dyeing. Then, run hot(not scalding) water over the disc when you peel the vinyl off. Any residue that is still there can be wiped away with goo gone, rubbing alcohol, or finger sweat(if you freeze the disc after dyeing).

Thanks! They are all new discs and cleaned before but I'll try the alcohol and goo gone.

use goo gone as rubbing alcohol can sometimes smudge the dye.
