I've been asking that for months! actually dyeing is the easy part, it's all the stuff that leads up to the actual dyeing that can be a pain. And the hard part is doing it well, I still fail at that part.. a lot. but it's a process, and it keeps me off crack and hookers, so it's worth it!

If you take a paper towel and mineral spirits it will work. Put a couple pinches of dirt on it and it comes right off.

.. dirt.. on what? ... when?

I agree

Dirt on the disc

[Fishy]

wth? spirits and dirt? you trying to summon the DG demon or something?

I like where this is going. So to do the red you're using pig blood right? That disc better be able to pull greasy portugese live-in-the-woods-locals routes. And knock other discs OUT of the basket after the ace.

[Fishy]

Probably depends on the dirt, also the quality of disc you rub it on.. rub it on a groove and you'll just bring the wrath down on yourself!

i just removed my first stamp! couldn't find acetone at stores or even hobby specialty shops, but my sister's nail polish remover had acetone as the first ingredient. put it on there, nothing came off. scrubbed a bit, nothing came off. scrubbed with water and brush, stamp turned from red to silver. then re-applied nail polish remover and the stamp came off with ease. maybe you need to soak the stamp a bit before it will come off without effort?

Yes, you do need to soak, but straight acetone works real fast. Get it at Home Deopt or any hardware store. you shouldn't need to scrub at all so it won't mess up the plastic.

I use nail polish remover with acetone in it and some elbow grease. I've found certain plastics are easier to remove stamps then others
