apoth, do you find you have to let it sit in tan for a long time? I don't usually get a good color with tan without a second quick dip in a cocoa brown or red for more a flesh color.

I've used yellow to lighten up green dyes a few times. It usually works but you have to be careful how long you let the green sit in the dye. after its set I'm afraid I haven't found much lightening using yellow.

aww man you totally beat me to it. good to know it turns out pretty good though. I'll still have to use it sometime.

That is awesome

Lopan, I love the stained glass looking disc btw.

I actually plot them all myself. We work together. I usually plot, he weeds, I tranfer, he dyes. I believe we both have the stencil if you'd like it though.

haha no I was just saying that the weeding on it was pretty easy. It was peeling it after the dye that was horrible.

ok, that's usually what I do too. But with the recent conversations of cold washes I wonder if that way of peeling speeds the blurring process.:|

Thanks guys. That one was plotter cut. Not too bad to weed but took a while to get all the vinyl off after dyeing. It all came off in little pieces. Anybody have ways to peel vinyl easier? I use oracal 651.

Thanks, No its actually handcut vinyl. I thought about using glue but I wasn't sure if I could get the crisp thin lines I wanted where I wanted them. It looks random but its based off of something in physics called a bubble chamber. I don't know a lot about I just know it looks sweet.

Thanks for the tip. I usually like to get it barely steaming too then let it cool for just a bit.

So to keep a constant temperature do you just check by touch to see if you can keep your hands on the pan or do you get real technical with a thermometer?
