The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[Odyssey113]

And now for the disc I spent most of the weekend on. Those tye dyes were just done while I was waiting on this one.

It's Katana from Mortal Kombat on a Champ Katana. I did nearly all the lines for her body with single cuts. I flexed the disc but there were still segments that the dye never got into (perhaps I should get thicker blades for doing single cuts?). There were also 5 or 6 small bleeds while doing the symbol in the background which surprised me, but they are all really small.

That is one sexy Katana!!! She's one of my favs from MK2...Nice dye!! :hfive:

Wow!!! awesome Walters StevieWraithVaughn. I was toying around with an idea doing the plastic bag technique on a Walter White one...I'll get around to it soon. Still dialing in a stencil for it...

I do love that 311 one as well! Lovin the new album!!! :thmbup:

Thanks!

I am pretty proud of this one. Mainly bc as I was starting it I was doubting whether it was within my ability, but it turned out to be fairly quick and painless.

Thanks Odyssey. I was pretty happy with the turnout on all of the dyes.

I used saran wrap, but the same idea for most of those dyes.

Love 311, not crazy about the new album, I prefer their old stuff.

What color and type of dye was used? Black iDye poly?

It was a soak of about 14 hours in about 2 parts Black iDye Poly and 1 part Black RIT with about 1 tablespoon of 95% Isopropyl Alcohol. The Alcohol and combo of dyes seems to be shortening my times with black. While giving a strong deep color.

I'm a little uneasy of using any alcohol on masking... it dissolves the adhesive... but just a little may be okay.

I did this one mainly bc I had the music from "A Link to the Past" stuck in my head for days.

It's an X-out Star Valykrie that I am hoping is a bit more overstable than normal.

Actually the alcohol has little effect on the vinyl adhesive. I do a lot of dyes with just straight alcohol and dye and brush it straight on the open areas. Sometimes pouring alcohol right on disc and vinyl to extend the wet time. Even with some brush movement I've never had the vinyl come up. Now acetone on the other hand will lift vinyl pretty quick. (I use Oracal 631 but want to try 651 because i think it is even tacker which may help with really detail plotter cuts.)

 

[enVme]

would anyone do a dye by request? im looking for a really cool green bay packers dye on a champion cfr glow aviar driver, maybe a helment, or packers logo, or maybe someone who can get detailed can do up a clay mathews pose? to difficult / out of the question?
