New to dyeing

[xpsycotikx]

I planning on starting dyeing my discs very soon. I mostly just want to do some basic stuff to start. I have to very limited source of income and was wondering what are the basic necessities that i need to start dyeing my discs. I was thinking of just doing red and black and maybe orange dyes to start.

Do a search for old threads. Lots of good info. just look around. Also, you can do a search for Dyeing 101 on youtube.

each box of dye roughly 3 bucks
contact paper couple bucks

thats the basic/ least cost way to go
dye mixed with water, need a pan, and storage for used dye
thats all ya need other than an idea and some time to do the cutting

you'll need an exacto knife too

Do like basic tupperware containers work well for holding dye?

Sorry for double post, but also wondering does the dye do anything to the pans you use to heat the dye in?

I wouldn't use them for food anymore. I picked up some old pans at a thrift store. You can also get pretty cheap ones at Big Lots.

all you need is a "Good Cook" 9" cake pan. $3.95

tupperware is cool, any container though would work
a popcorn bowl sized container would let you reuse the dye inside of your storage container, so you wouldn't have to dirty a pan every time

i use the stove/pan to get the crystals to dissolve easier, not sure if its neccessary, thats what was recommended , thats what i did
when i reuse the dye, i just microwave till i see steam, then its warm enough to do a dip...

good luck

I went to goodwill and bought 2 pans for 8 bucks.
