New Dyes

[runnaman]

The first is a mini. I've never seen a dyed mini and I wanted to see how it worked... it was the same as dying DX, really faded. My brother drew the design, it's pretty cool.

Next, I wanted to try the elmer's glue method, so I did it on my Champion Teebird. I am super happy about this dye. Finally used enough dye in the mix to get it dark enough, and I left the Ken Climo signature on it for added flare. The picture isn't great, but I still like it a lot.

Love the glue job.....it kinda looks like a cinnamon roll....yummmmmm

Its very unique either way. Never seen one like that before.

Thanks. It took forever for the glue to dry. Especially in the huge blob I put of Ken Climo's signature.

The glue one is very cool looking. And the mini is a neat design too. I sharpied a mini and it didn't last very long.

 

[runnaman]

Yeah, I gave up sharpie after I bought my first box of RIT dye. The mini was more of an experiment since I've never seen a home dyed mini before.

nice stuff! a hot glue gun will work too and dry much faster, just be careful to let glue hit air first for a second before applying it so it can cool a touch or the glue will bond too well and be a bitch to get off later.

That's a good idea. I want to try to actually write something with the glue next time, cause it's sooo much easier than cutting vinyl.

what do you think would happen if you put the disc into the refridgerator first?

nice job on the glue .

First post I've seen of a glue dye with the glue actually ON the disc, thanks for posting! End result looks great! I will try this on a background. I may end up trying the heat gun method too, I think that may be a bit more accurate so long as you control the heat.

That's before it actually dries. It dries clear (it is Elmer's glue, after all). It takes forever to dry, too.

glue Method...

So forgive this question if its ben asked, but how do you get the glue off after you dye the disc?

Thanks
Josh

Warm water and a sponge. I thought it would be difficult too, but it was a piece of cake.
