The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[FleshJAV]

Another hand cut putter, star plastic this time. Really wanted to do a black disc but I read about how hard they are to find when you chunk 'em so I decided a putter would be my best bet. Turned out to be one of my favorite discs so far!

"We can't stop here.. this is bat country!"

Absolutely amazing. I remember when this album came out, I saw the image and thought, "that would be an amazing dye" - but is waaaaay above my skill level.

If that disc is a Clutch, it would have been a great pairing.

I had no idea where the original image came from, but dang that is sweet! The colors look amazing, and I especially liked the colors around the edge

Great work everyone. Love the originality on all of those.

Here's my latest. My buddy loves having his dyes play off the name of the disc. Here's his latitude 64 vision that was an absolute nightmare to weed.

 

[Reniger]

Wow, DD. That's a bitchin' dye! Visions of Aces. Love it!

Cheers!

My latest dye on an Icon Rival to show some love for the guys over at SmashBoxx TV :thmbup:!

This is my fourth dye and I learned some more things this time. This was to be a thrower for my bag from the start but there were a few things I am not happy with .

Stamp removal: This stamp ink ran like the wind when the acetone got near it. This removal was almost a disaster as you can see the dulling marks from the clean up. I guess I need to try to find blanks to dye from now on.

Blue I Dye: Man this stuff is blue and takes QUICK! The first dip was 3 minutes, wash off and 30 more seconds back in and out. The blue is darker in person ( too dark really ) than the photos, next time I want a medium blue it will be dipped at 30 second intervals.

Thanks to Bennett for the awesome vinyl cuts, that is the most "Pro" part of my dyes .

Time to, "Step inside the Smashboxx!"

Never had this problem with the discs I've done, were you using 100%? Sometimes it takes more elbow grease to get the stamp off the blizzards and champions I've done. Star plastic came off almost by itself, maybe it's just the way the stamp is on those particular discs.

Keep your head up though! All in all a great dye job, love the way the blue pops on the disc!

I think it's a legacy thing. I tried taking a stamp off of a Canon and it didn't go well.

After reading a lot of threads and getting enough inspiration I started dyeing 2 weeks ago. Here are some of my first attempts using the various methods. Overall I thought it would be harder to do but I learned a lot and picked it up pretty quick I think. Getting my worm dye in soon so that should help brighten up my spins.

Learning to spin dye on an old orc and the sprinkle idye powder technique then topped with shaving cream on an old buzz.

3rd disc ever - saran wrap and spin

First attempt at masking with vinyl. Shoulda known it would take off the flashy part of the stamp.

This is one of those things that is a crap shoot. I have had worse luck with colored stamps (greens, purples, etc) smearing when trying to remove them. Not to say it's never happened to me with a black stamp. One more example of why Prodiscus is the best plastic - their stamps are completely on the surface of the disc so they come off like nothing and don't even leave a ghost - no elbow grease required.

This is why I keep some contact paper around in addition to vinyl. Not as adhesive so you have a better chance of keeping the stamp intact.

Nice dyes though, especially like how that Buzzz came out.

Love the King and Bolt, Sean. Very nice work! I have to get my spin rig up today. Adds so much more dimension to so many different styles of dyeing.

Cheers.

 

[Reniger]

Scratch that, Sorcerer. Damn finnish stamps throw me.

Thanks bud! Just noticed your from Michigan. I'm visiting there in a few weeks and have 4 days to wander the state and camp with no itinerary. Will be starting in Flint and headed North. Any great course suggestions? Was hoping to play the Grayling mountain course because ski mountains are always fun for disc.
