Adam is the best!

Great info! Let me tell you, Adam is out there doing the thing. It takes work!!!

Nice shirt Adam!

Jake was a true classic...very genuine person.

Great listen with realistic information and advice.

Enjoyed this one...dude goes hard !!

I apologize, I'm not sure this is the best place to ask. I'm having real difficulties finding success with disc dying. I've been doing it for 6-8 months now, and I have far more failures than success. I have soaked up just about every bit of knowledge I can find on UA-cam, but I still seem to be getting things wrong. I'd rather not just give up completely. I wanted to ask, is there a discord server somewhere, that would allow me to ask questions and get some guidance from people who have had actual success with it? I just feel like I'd rather not quit, and I'd like to stop sending plastic to be recycled. If someone knows of a good discord server or other forum to post questions on I would be very, very grateful.

Hope you can make it out to Idlewild...my local pro stop...hmu u make it !!

my dye seems to disperse quite a bit more in the glue than yours did, is there a reason for that? I am mixing 1/2 tsp of dye with 2 oz of acetone, and using elmers clear gue.

Ivan the Great....what a unique guy...just took this hobby and sent it...heading to the website now !!

Stupendous Man is Calvin and Hobbes! Sorry, that's my childhood

Blue collar...DG released him...thanks Dave !!

This guy lives up the street from me?...Nati bringing it...have to connect with Justin for sure!

I want to be like this guy when I get older...and by that I mean tomorrow ! Dave...thanks my guy !

Freeze the disc, acetone and cotton balls wipe the disc and color completely, doesn't smudge or haze either when frozen.

Triple threat here....Drive, Energy and Passion....1000+ rated human !!!!

Mason, great energy....this guy has the best disposition, always figuring it out...the DNA wins out every time.....I would like to catch up sometime but I think you may need a full day with him...and that probably not long enough. Thanks Dave !

Cool kid....can't wait to see what he can bring in the future !!!

Gary, would Happy L'il Accidents work....thanks Dave for the connections on these podcasts....appreciated !

Tinman is a riot....loved it !!

I bought one from Brandon from OTB site....purple/black glow insanity 2021-2022....now I feel like I know the creator...thanks Dave !

Thanks Jayson for sharing some trade tips...I think you taught me....thru TDIDI !!

I definetly am on the later side of catching Bobby live...only 2x maybe....and just found these podcast...this is gold as well as TDIDI....I will/have watched his videos more than once...Hey Now !

enjoyed this....and your work ewk !!!!

I greatly appreciate you showing this process. I needed to see this for sure. I think my only questionable step now is how to go from having a stencil, to having a piece of cut vinyl with the stencil cut into it. I really want to push my creativity to this level and see what I can do.

Kasta makes a tough stamp.

Thanks again for sending us a trial kit! We plan to do a dye video this winter, and we’ll be sure to share it once it’s done 👍

Love this! Brittany rules!

Once you said everything you were about to show I instantly liked and saved! Looking forward to seeing your techniques as I am always tweaking my own!

Love both of y’all love these business videos!! ❤😊

No gloves? Bad boy.

"It very much stared as bare minimum. Like I just wanna keep doing this, ya know?", you just started dying disc's while I was at school dude 😭

Would the dye go through the glue to leave the same [or any] design as on the topside of the dipped disc????? Want bottom side with design too. <Kill two birds 🥏 > If the set-up pan was the underside of a disc and I followed your process. If you bottom dye, what would be your suggestion? Clear as mud?

I havent dyed a disc yet. I see a lot of videos where acetone is not mentioned. Why is it needed?

I don't wipe stamps often, and when I do it tends to be to modify the stamp or remove sections of it rather than remove it entirely. When I do I use acetone but instead of wiping the whole disc with paper towel I try to just focus on the stamp itself using Qtips with the acetone in them instead of acetone on paper towel on the whole disc. It reduces the are that acetone is affecting the disc itself, doesn't spread the color to areas the stamp isn't already on, and cotton of the Qtips seem to be less abrasive in general. It definitely takes longer but with how fast acetone rips stamps off it isn't that much longer, when considering the end results. I will definitely be freezing my discs as well from now on though. Thanks for the testing it is always good to see people try to pin down a definitive best method with all the different recommendations out there.

Microfiber towel covering whole disc, then pour saturate with acetone, let sit for 10-15 seconds, then quickly wipe and remove. I typically call it the saturation method. Never have really had any bleed issues.

Great video, it's always fun to see experimentation! I posted about this on reddit about 3 months ago after my house was very warm while wiping stamps this summer, so the freezer made a HUGE difference (this was my first summer with disc dyeing as a hobby). Though, I'm sure others have found the freezer independently of me. You are right about the foil backing stopping the dispersion of the dyes into the plastic. It's better to think about phases of matter than "pores" when it comes to the dyes getting into the plastic. Dyeing is like putting a drop of food coloring into water, but in very slow motion. Heat increases that motion, but no food coloring enters the water when it is frozen solid. No dye enters the disc after dissolving it in acetone if the disc is frozen solid. If you imagine trying to "wipe off" a drop of red food coloring from an ice cube vs. a glass of water, it's easy to see how one is going to work a lot better than the other. On these discs, the red stamp is already in the "water" (plastic solution) prior to any freezing, so there's not much you can do about it. If Kastaplast had stamped them while frozen, and shipped them frozen, and then you immediately went to wipe them, then they may have wiped clean. The foil stays as a solid barrier like the ice, so that's why discs with foil backing can wipe clean. When the plastic is warm enough, it becomes more liquid-like (plastics don't have sharp phase transitions like water does), and acetone softens it so that is even more liquid-like. Any dye dissolved in the acetone quickly enters the soft plastic and gets stuck, just like the red dye that has already slowly dispersed in too deep for you to remove. Depending on the dye's chemistry and the plastic's chemistry, they will continue to disperse to create "fading" causing blurred edges on previously sharp lines, or even moving the whole way through the flight plate. From reading up on TPU plastic, temperature is more important than solvent. This bit from a TPU manufacturer on solvent says acetone does swell TPU more than alcohol (solutions.covestro.com/en/highlights/articles/theme/product-technology/chemical-properties-tpu). Given hot dips in water will still dye a disc fast, the softening of the plastic from heat seems like the biggest concern for wiping stamps. So if the acetone is harder on the disc than you'd like, you can try scrubbing with freezing and using alcohol instead of acetone. Depending on dye chemistry and what additives, etc. are in the polymer matrix of the disc, you will see a variety of dispersion rates independent of temperature (but all rates seem to increase with temperature). Plastics like Gstar and softer tend to disperse faster than harder premium plastics (the difference may just be TPU with less plasticizer vs. TPU with more plasticizer). Dyes like ProChem tend to disperse faster than alcohol-based dyes like from a Sharpie. A dye that covalently bonds to the polymer would not disperse significantly, but I don't think I've encountered a disc dye that works this way, as that would take a lot more work chemically that would result in a product offering less color options that is more work to use. Pigments added during the disc-making process are particle-based, and should be too large to disperse. Pigments are also how white is added (pigments can be white, while dyes can't), and are why discs can't be dyed white. If discs' plastics had pores, pigments would be able to enter them.

Can’t believe you’re not using gloves! And maybe a respirator.

Thanks for the info. I would recommend in the future to re-cap the plastic bottles as to avoid spilling the solutions contained within. It would also cut down on the fumes. Keep up the great work! It was fun visiting the DDG both at USDGC a few weeks ago. Thanks for all that you do

Cotton make up removal pads damage (scratch) the surface of the disc way less than paper towels. I'm definitely going to try freezing my discs going forward. Thanks for testing all these methods, so I didn't have to!

I've been using goof-off for the year I have been dying and I haven't done any damage to the discs with it. They are almost always the same texture and gloss, however, it does bleed colors like a son of a bitch so you got to be careful. I typically just avoid all reddish hues on stamps all together.

great info!

Do you think the coarseness of the shop towel itself could be contributing to the "matte" effect of some discs being wiped? I use a combination of cotton balls and cotton round pads with the frozen-acetone wipe method. Bonus trick - it's good to have baby wipes around if you see some colored acetone you want off the disc. In fact I use TONS more baby wipes dying discs than I did when my now 30 year old baby was an actual baby.

You forgot lacquer thinner

Choosing the red Kastaplast stamp ... bold move Cotton, we're gonna have to see how this works out for him (I personally gave up on removing these particular stamps and just work with them)

Your thumbnail couldn't be any more interesting. Well done!

I've used acetone and a melamine sponge mixed together instead of using paper towel and had good results now freezing the disc with that might have the best results

I accidentally removed a stamp off a white R-Pro Pig with a black stamp with Comet, just trying to clean up the disc a bit. I'm pretty sure it won't work on most discs, but it may be worth a shot.

I hope you had good ventilation there!

I can smell this video
