The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[Dan Howard]

One problem that I have never experienced is the vinyl took some of the color off the hot stamp. The foil is still there but it looks kinda messed up. I'm going to have to figure out a way to fix this on the rest of the discs.

Tape a piece of paper over the stamp before applying the vinyl. Lesson learned Fred, otherwise some very nice looking trophies!

What he said^^

I've cut plain paper to cover stamps with success. you really have to have a good amount of space between the edge of the stamp and the cut line though. If dye get past the cut line, the paper becomes a sponge and covers the whole thing in a giant bleed.

Thanks guys, maybe use plastic food wrap to cover the area. It would be thinner than paper and might help with the bleed problem. I will experiment with different covers.

a flat new piece of tissue paper might work well too. best o' luck.

Here's my latest on a Buzzz SS....

I read a lot of books on the Roman Empire

I finished the Trophy discs for the Hawk Hollow Open. Except for the damaged hot stamps they are damn near perfect. (the foil is still there just not the top color)

Hi Folks! I am amazed by what you all are doing on here. Incredible work!! Dan Howard, your "October Trees" belongs in a museum. It is humbling to see such skill.
Anyway, I have a facebook page called "Brainwave Disc" and I would like to invite you all to stop by for a visit. Here is some of my work over the past thirty days. This is my first post on here so I am not sure how to post a link. If you know me you will be glad to know that I don't know how to post a link. Peace!

Testing...

I haven't posted a photo on here, yet, so this is a test. I'm running out of stuff to experiment on so I am feeding off of my own stash. Sound familiar to any of you?

Hey Jeff, good to see you in here, welcome to the best little dye forum on the internetz today!

 

[Brainwavedisc]

It is an awesome collection of artists! I had no idea what you guys were up to. Impressed, and humbled...

 

[koogs]

I never duplicate my dyes, but in this case, I made an exception cuz the original has been lost.

I don't have a plotter everything I do is hand cut. I am extremely near sighted so I can get about 2" from the vinyl when I cut. I'm also getting very good at cutting very slow.

But the dotted look on the face is from something that went wrong during the dye. There may have been some kind of grease or something that spotted the dyes in the center of the disc. It's weird but luckily it worked out.
