I use 1 pack to 32 oz so that should work. why such a big batch. I use 32 and keep it for a long while.I'm going to use this dye for my first dye job, and want to asks few questions.
1. I'm using a large pan and 96oz of water so 3 packs of dye, correct?
2. I'm dyeing a Crystal Z Buzzz SS. Do I need to add acetone to the dye?
3. Any suggestions for uniformly dyeing an entire disc?
4. Lastly, can I just boil water in the stove then add it to the dye in the pan?
Thank you in advance for any help.

no acetone to the dye it should be fine with just water and heat.
if dyeing whole disc. let the disc float on top of the dye for a bit, then once the dye cools submerge the disc entirely.
I use hot water and add the dye in right away while heating the pan up. I get the dye to a light boil for about 15 minutes. Then let it be cool enough that you can touch the pan without burning your hands.
hope this helps
Why such a big pan? You could do the same thing with a cheap aluminum pie tin. Or go to a goodwill and buy a frying pan.
Adding the hot water to the dye should work just fine. Then just completely submerge the disc, stamp down. (If you go stamp up you are more likely to get air bubbles under the flight plate.) You could put some marbles or chopsticks or something like that in the bottom to keep it from resting on the bottom. However since you won't have heat you don't have to worry about burning the disc so it might not matter.
What do you mean by hot process and cold process? Intriguing you used the intensifier because usually it just makes a huge mess. Did you mix the intensifier with acetone ?
I use hottest tap water add dye pack and intensifier and shake to get my color concentrate.
Be really careful with the intensifier, i have run a bunch of tests with it, and it is actually a denaturing product. This means it actually messes with the plastic (or fabric for that matter) to get the dye to react better. if it is too concentrated you will actually be able to feel where the dye was on the disc.
when this occurs it also adds weight, i saw in my worst case a 2.5 gram add. and this odd weight distribution will make the disc less stable. (keep in mind i was using a fairly high ratio for the sake of experimenting)
however Idye green in my opinion is garbage unless you use it in a painting mixture.
good luck
It works great. I've used it via dip method, shaving cream, dish soap (painting) and acetone (painting). All work great but have never used intensifier.
