The Official First Dyes Thread

I pretty much just want to work on the stencil work before I go and screw up a nice disc I use all the time. I won't mind bleeds on my good ones, but I want it somewhat nice looking.

I was the same way. Just go for it on one of your champ/star discs. Just pick an simple image and go for it. It is really not as hard as you think it is. As far as bleeds I just tipple check for bubbles in multiple light angles before it hits the dye. Good luck!

I'll figure out this picture thing eventually
 
Blizzard champion wraith

I messed up using contact paper so it bleed a bit. I used my ruger .40 pistol and traced in on the paper, then cut it out and placed the disk on the paper. I'm happy with my first attempt at it, hopefully I have more luck on the next disk

First Dyes

Tried some disc dyes for the very first time last night. I recently purchased 4 unstamped MVP Axes, after going through 3 of them in the past 6 months.

One was lost to a deep and fast moving creek... :thmbdown:
Another was inexplicably lost in some brush... :wall:
The third was retired last week after I hit an ace with it... :clap:

Here are a few pics of my experience.

The two yellow ones with the nuke symbol have glow rims. Seemed appropriate for a radiation symbol.

My first attempt at dying a golf disc. I didn't have transfer paper so I ended up cutting the design right on the disc. Used RIT liquid dye. It didn't take. A couple days later I applied a new sheet of vinyl and by shining a light from the bottom I re-cut the design using the old cut lines and slight discoloring as my guide. Second dye with powder dye worked great.

This was my second attempt at dying a golf disc. I cut the design using a desk lamp under a piece of glass. I then used painters masking tape as my transfer tape. This actually worked better than I expected. I think I went a little too dark with the mid-tones. But was happy with it for my first attempt at a "two color" dye.
 
These were my first dyes after reading a lot on the threads here. Orcal 651 with iPoly black.

Eddie took me about 3 hours to cut

The Obey dye took about an hour to cut.

Nice dyes. Love the lettering on Ring Wraith.
