multi color dyes

[ianlilley13]

i am dying a clear groove and trying to get 3 colors on it the black took but now the red will not take at all i am using rit powdered dye and it has worked for me before any ideas? could it be the crap from the contact paper? what else?

[bigmanbailye]

Is it a different box of RIT than the dye that worked before?

[ianlilley13]

its red rit with a white backround

[ianlilley13]

i have not gotten the color dye to stick only the black sticks for me for whatever reason

make sure that you are heating up the dye. the heat helps the chemical reaction.

may also be the fact that it is a groove. just sayin'.......

the groove is champion plastic and its not sticking to a star wraith either and the dye is being heated up

There's no reason good Rit shouldn't dye star plastic. It sounds like you've gotten hold of some ND rit but if you're certain that's not the case then give us some more info. How are you mixing the rit, how old is it, approx dye bath temp, how old/sunburnt is the disc you're trying to dye, and anything else you can think of that may be relevant.

In case you may be using the new formula RIT read the first page of this

i think i got some of the new stuff that does not dye because its not that old and the black rit that i use works fine when i do the same technique
how i put they dye in a heat resistant tin and pour a little cooler than boiling water in and leave the disc in for about 15-25 minuets. and the discs are fairly new the groove is a brand new Xout that has only been used on a course once.
