Thanks guys! Dan, I've never tried thickeners. This is just powder and acetone.

Hey Dyeing...what ratio acetone to rit do you use? I may have to try painting some discs now.

The ratio is not an exact science and no matter what the acetone evaporates very quickly. What I generally do is put about 1/8 to1/4 tsp. of rit in a shot glass or similar small non porous vessel. Top off with about a 'capfull' of acetone and mix well. It is very similar to watercolor painting.

Dyeing - words can't express how awesome those discs are - well, maybe "HOLY F*%k! THOSE ARE AWESOME!" comes close, but still not sure if they cover it...

Are you dipping an outline, then painting in the shading, or is the whole process painted?

Just amazing.

Last dye I do w/the 3M vinyl I got. Just can't keep the bleeds from happening from the lines in the glue they use...
