The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[Stankyjahnke]

I do believe that you are not going to get an answer on that one. Trust me: You are not the first one to ask.

Secrets are no fun. I once heard about a bowl with a plastic bag in it and putting due on top of it but i don't think that's how you get that effect.

I believe that is proprietary info guys. Some secrets you just can't know. If you like them he charges next to nothing to do them.

 

[Stankyjahnke]

Maybe I'll do some experimenting can you help with how the shaving cream and dye works? Do you mix it together and put it on spots u want to be lighter and just let it sit on the disc. Sorry I just started dying and just trying to figure things out.

Thanks if you wanna help and if u can't than thanks for reading

I have no real issue with it. This sport is not exactly a cash cow, so if Jeff has spend god knows how much time and material getting this procedure right and is able to use it to make a little pocket money it is definately his prerogative to share or not.

My curiosity is killing me, though. Have tons of ideas on how this might be done - but haven't really had the time to experiment. And if I can't be bothered to do that, why should I _expect_ someone to just give it to me?

one good idea for someone testing the "dyeing waters" is to try different dyes and techniques using just part of a disc, rather than the entire disc. You don't need to dye an entire disc to see if a dye mixture will "hold", or if an application technique will work. Use portions of the disc. Use the back of the disc. It is the same plastic- front and back.
Once you get hooked, time will not be your concern. The cost of acquiring dye, chemicals, and supplies- as well as getting canvases (discs) to work on- all will become your major concerns.

That is a good Idea and dye n everything is expensive but my friends dad owns a printing shop so I can get all the oracle vinyl I need I'm just running out of nice plastic to dye

i decided to give dyeing a shot... a simple zombie guy i found ( and want as my next tattoo) on a 2012 ace race disc.

i think i had too much water in the pan because some of it splashed over to the back. i tried using the acetone to remove the excess dye on the back but some still remains.

My latest multi-color but it messed up. The red got under the cover for the blue...

I know it was unintentional, But that is a real cool effect.

Agreed, totally thought it was intentional and well executed until I read the caption.

@brainwave, phew... a yellow disc makes sense. Just those orange edges on the rim looked like the right shade of orange to be plastic. Thought maybe I had been over exposed to acetone fumes and had gone crazy.

 

[paramaniac]

this is my second try today.

any good tips on getting sharpie off the discs? the acetone and goof off arent working too well for me.
