The Dye A Day Thread!

That lion is awesome.

 

[NorthernDisc]

second that on the lion that is a great disc. Love the lines, they flow so nicely.

Yeah, I got tired of that, too. I ended up going back to Oracal. But your bleeds are pretty minor there and you gotta look pretty hard to see them. That's a great dye. :thmbup:

That's because you guys keep getting the stuff with air channels! IJ46-20 is what I've been using ever since I started. It's also more pliable than oracal, so it does curves/edges better. The oracal samples I had are too plasticky to me.

 

[ZBoazMobster]

The yellow oracal 641 I am using is stiff, and weeds like a charm. I just weeded a 2'x2' celtic knot in one pull.

Still using shelf liner: Magic Cover. Your knives must be sharp, but it stretches and lays down enough that you can be confident about bleeds and islands. Sorry, OT.

I mean, doesn't anybody read before they order the 3m Vinyl? "with an invisible pattern and improved air release" combined with "FAMOUS 3M BLEED" doesn't scream at you? I don't like the stiffness in oracal because any wrinkles can't be smoothed out. I dunno, I've only had the tiny sample sheets, so I can't really tell...I need to get ahold of some bigger pieces to try it I guess..

Hey if you have a stencil for that scorpion, I would love to have it. It blows mine away! http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=747&pictureid=5308

 

[Valet74]

[Coast]

My first dye job. Went with a Bassnectar logo. Definitely need to work on my free hand curves.

Thanks to everyone for posting all the info on here about how to dye disc.

Sorry Bigman, I lay down the vinyl and draw n cut directly on the disc.

The Coast Guard one for Mprii. It took a while longer than anticipated - damn real life stuff anyways! I wanted the marbling to be heart shaped, but my mix was just a little too runny to hold its shape.

The sharpie art thread was "too old" to reply to it. I'll just slap this on here then.

did this one last week.
Star Eagle so yellow it had to have a sun.

 

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

Had a ton of little vinyl pieces to get rid of and an ugly beat up Star Katana. This is the end result.

 

[Dsplayname]

I like the shattered effect; good idea

 

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

I plan on doing it again after the holidays with a good disc and some actual full sheets of vinyl. I'm at the bottom of the barrel as far as dyeable discs and supplies go. I'd like to do some dyes in the individual pieces as well.

Here's one more. A star leopard. Dying a few for a tournament this weekend and a few for Secret Santa on another site. Gonna keep that dye pan busy.

That's nice. Are you supposed to guess how many animals are represented there??

Leeway, nice effect!

Eky8, what state you sending to?

Bullet Bill for a friend. The disc was a little scuffed and a scratch caused the bleed on the "M". That's the last time I do straight lettering. :wall: It looks better outdoors, where you can see the different shades of black.
