So...

What is the go to dye for a day glo color? I have some white star plastic discs that I would like to dye into the brightest color I can.

I grew up playing lacrosse and got decent at doing dye jobs with the heads of the sticks, so I'm not completely lost on the process.

Any insight would be great.

The 2 brightest dyes I have used, that are closest to day-glow are worm dye yellow, and Pylam Fluorescent yellow.

I am not really a fan of worm dye, so if I was going for day glow I'd use fluorescent yellow, but that's harder to find. But it also glows in UV, which is cool - looks SUPER bright in sunlight.

Anyone have a good mix for GOLD? I'm trying to do a SF 49ers logo. I'll run some tests, just wanted to ask, I'm sure someone's gotten a good gold.

Hey guys... I'm putting together a bulk order for some iDye Poly. If anyone wants to get in on it, let me know!

Ok, this may sound crazy, but I think Idye orange + turquoise = gold.

No clue on the ratios, and I have never tested it. I did a tye dye on a Mace once where I just covered the thing in detergent mixes, and the places where the orange and trq mixed are a nice gold. I always meant to try it again but never have. If you are testing things out on a test disc, give that a shot.



The area just to the right of "Mace" is what I am talking about.

And regardless of whether it works, let us know what you end up using for gold.
