Future Dyes

[AJ_86]

I'm trying to think of more minimalist dye ideas. Something almost looks official, but not quite... or just real subtle.

Anyone have any experience is pink discs? I have a pink star wraith with a blue stamp. I'm a fat kid at heart and this color combo makes me think of cotton candy. I want to do a blue marble effect on it but not sure what color blue or mixture to use.

TIA, UPS

light dip in royal blue would look dope.

 

[UnitedPuppySlayer]

This is going to be my first marble dye, is there a certain ratio of powder to water that works best?
And i assume by light dip you mean short time?

 

[Apothecary]

the thicker you make it, the more true the color will come out. 1 packet of (powder) rit and 2 cups of water will be thick. you can get away with up to 2 liters of water, but the dye will be lighter.

for your purposes, i would go lighter (2 liters, about 10-15 min in the dye pot) and not move it while its in there. dont forget to add some weight to the underside of the flight plate so it sits as deep as possible without sinking it.

Thanks a lot! I'm going to have to run to michaels or joanns.

DX is the fail and totally not worth it.

This. The moose out front should have told you.

Okies...thanks! and LOL!

NO need to start off with a headache on my first tries.

 

[AJ_86]

Yeah, DX and Pro don't take dyes well... or fade real fast.

Michaels was out of royal blue, and i didnt want to drive another 40 minutes to get to joanns. looks like ill have to wait till early next week to try out the marbling.

This is a future's dye thread so i assumed this would be the best place to ask about this. I am looking to dye my ion but i want a special picture. I was looking for a picture i saw here on DGCR before. It has a basket and a putter but it his the outer rim of the basket and had a bend in it. I tried searching for it and didn't turn anything up. So i was thinking if anyone saved it to their computer or something like that. Would help out ALOT. Thanks

How many of these are actually getting done?

We have over a hundred pages of ideas, but I haven't seen many produced based on them.

Come on, someone start dying this stuff!
