Awesome video! One tiny tip if you're open to it. If you aren't going for a lot of black but just want really thin lines to provide subtle separation between colors or highlights to them, add black after your other colors. BUT - don't add with the dropper. Take a toothpick, dip it into the black so it's wet, then hold the toothpick on the color border you want and slowly put TINY amounts of black onto the toothpick. The black dye will drop down and add small amounts right where you want it. Then you can also drag the toothpick lightly to kind of 'draw' lines between the colors. Great disc and thanks again for the detailed tutorial! I know I've had a ton of beds that I thought were trash until I did one more little thing and it turned into a masterpiece! So great to see artists be creative. 👍👊
it's total light show effect - nice layering appearance and strong saturation points and like you said defintion is clear - certainly something I will try
Nice job, I really like how this technique turns out. I'll have to send this to my friend. He wants to dye a couple discs. I have a hard enough time looking for my discs sometimes so... I probably won't be dying any of mine. I enjoyed the video thanks.
I've spilled full viles of dye on quartz countertops and you can basically use acetone to get rid of the stain completely! Im sure it's not great for whatever coating is on the countertop, but it does work!
Kinda. When you pull the disc out the surface pattern will be on the disc but you can scrape the glue off back into the pan and potentially use it again, just no idea how it will turn out. I'd probably be more likely to maybe try and let it settle and then add more dye to the surface and repeat the process.
I have not tried that but it's probably doable. I have only used pro Chem and idye mixed with acetone for glue beds. Let me know if you try it how it goes please.
@@anthonymascia6903 Hey man! Forgot that I was suppose to update on this. I did two discs with Rit dye and got some pretty good results that I was happy with actually! I did mix the dye with some acetone, but I am pretty sure I could use more acetone because there is a lot of paint that just sinks to the bottom of the glue. One thing I noticed was that I had to let it sit for quite a long time to get bright colors. Took one out after 24 hours, but the colors were pretty faded, so I did a new bed and let it sit for another 24 hours. Then I let the next disc sit for 48 hours straight up, and got a nice result 😊
I used Rit powder die, followed this tutorial to a T, sat disc for 48 hours both times and still the die doesn't stick to the disc. I'll try the die listed in the description.
Can you synthetic dye in place of the powder dye? I'm guessing you can if you mix the synthetic die with acetone in a bottle like you did with the powder dye.
Do you mean RIT synthetic liquid? You might be able to use it but I haven't tried. The acetone is to make the dye liquid but only temporarily because it evaporates after you drop it on the glue. So I would probably just try it with the RIT as is and see what happens maybe. I don't think it will work the same way tho. I'd recommend getting idye poly or pro Chem powder.
I am planning on my first dye being next week. I was wondering if this would work outside? I've noticed a lot of people are inside. Is this just for video's or do you not have to worry about fumes?
You could dye outside yah. I don't see why not. I don't have a yard or anything so I dye in my apartment. The acetone has fumes but it evaporates quickly so it seems to be fine inside.
Hey there, great tutorial! I’m Just trying glue beds myself. I’m having a hard time getting the dye ratio right and the pack of syringes I got is sometimes too powerful and shoots weird lines in my beds so I’m wanting to try something new. What brand are those glass vials and where’d you get them? Also, I tried droppers but the acetone ate through the rubber in them. How do I prevent that?
They are just basic glass dropper bottles from Amazon that come 12 in a pack for 12.99. So far I've had no issues with them being damaged by the acetone.
I have not had a stamp get damaged with this glue method as of yet because the acetone evaporates by the time you put the disc into the glue. I have had stamps dissolve using my shampoo dye method featured in another video and with spin dyes in the past though.
Hey, I’m on my 4th round of this technique and I’m struggling to get the dye to stick to the disc. I’m replicating your video almost perfectly yet I can’t figure out why it won’t work. Any ideas?
wow, these are fantastic! I'm going to give it a try. I do have one question.. So do you have to worry about the glue drying on you after 40 hours of sitting?
Not in my experience so far no. Also since filming this video I have pulled a couple out sooner out of curiosity and it still seems to work well so 24 hrs is probably fine too of you're worried about it. Just might not sink in as much.
Using heat really helps speed up the process. I lay my disc in a metal pan then put it on a heating pad for 8 to 10 hours. Thanks for the detailed video. Pidyediscs.
So maybe a silly question but how do you clean them when you’re done? I know the other you rinse in the sink but how are you doing the glue? Are you doing it in the sink as well? Just curious. You can keep the reply short.
It's water soluble glue so it's not as bad as you might think. Basically I scrape the glue off with a rubber spatula into a disposable container and then just warm water and soap takes the rest off the disc. Sometimes I'll soak it if needed.
I haven't. I know some folks reuse the glue but pretty sure they will add dye to the surface and repeat the process again. I doubt just dropping a second disc would do much. Most of the design and dye is transferred to the disc and gets scraped off before rinsing.
@@DiscGolfNerd Thanks for responding! I would definitely add more dye. But I find I only get through 2 discs with 1 gallon of glue which can get pricey (I’m dying up 10 for tournament prizes).
Check out my newer glue dye video. I show the aluminum pans I use now. I can definitely dye more than 2 discs per gallon. Only need a decent flat layer in the bottom in my experience. And the smaller pans are closer to the size of a disc so less waste. Way better option over ultimate discs or cheap frisbees if you're using them for your dye.
Not sure how me dyeing the disc is filler but OK. I left the entire process in so people could see it start to finish in real time if they wanted to and simply skip ahead any time they wish.
OK cool. Left it full length so people could see the entire process uncut and exactly what I did and what happened in real time. I assumed folks would just skip forward if they wanted to so glad it all worked out.

Look at this way throwing away a dyejob you'll give someone else a sweet new disc.

I plan on hopefully never confirming this information for myself haha. Glad you got away with it
Have you put the disc with the neon colors under a uv light? If not you need too!
Looks good, kind of like a Marballizer paintball! Thanks for the tips!
Yah it does thats funny!
Nice job! The marbleing is nice
Could you provide links on where to get the supplies? (dyes and droppers). Thanks
Added to the description thanks for the suggestion
@discgolfnerd can you use these same dyes on shaving cream?
Yes
Can i use pre mixed fabric dye without acetone?
I'm not sure. I would try to message Bobby from The Difference is Doing It. He's got all the knowledge.
How do you clean the disc with acetone while not removing the stamp?
You don't. Acetone is what you use to remove stamps.
Can you reuse the bed and put another disc in it?
Kinda. When you pull the disc out the surface pattern will be on the disc but you can scrape the glue off back into the pan and potentially use it again, just no idea how it will turn out. I'd probably be more likely to maybe try and let it settle and then add more dye to the surface and repeat the process.
@@DiscGolfNerd ok, thanks!
Can you use the Rit dyes in a glue bed like this? Bought a bunch and I want to try glue beds, but I see most people recommend the ProChem dyes.
I have not tried that but it's probably doable. I have only used pro Chem and idye mixed with acetone for glue beds. Let me know if you try it how it goes please.
@@DiscGolfNerd Will do, it's the dye I have so I might as well just try. I can't get a hold of the ProChem ones in Norway. Thanks 😁
@@Shruberable How did the Rit dye turn out?

Would this work for dying just the bottom of the disc? Would it sit in the plate properly for just the bottom to or are these methods just for the top
I don't see how that would work. Seems like a lot of dye artists use a spin dye method to dye the underside of discs.
Did you wipe off the Ballista label on this one or was that how it looks cus it’s so dark. I love the look of the dye jobs with the OG label on them.
I removed the stamps on these yes. I typically don't bother tho. You don't have to with this glue method, you can just leave it.
How did you mix the idye? W acetone?
Yes. I just put a little of the powder in the bottom of the bottle and the fill it with acetone
Can you synthetic dye in place of the powder dye? I'm guessing you can if you mix the synthetic die with acetone in a bottle like you did with the powder dye.

What do these look like after a few months? I have dyed a few discs...and the sharp edges always bleed out.
They soften a little bit but less so than old school dip dyes. Both of these still look about the same at this point.
Thanks loved it
Nice video, and cool looking disc. Only issue is, if I threw that disc, I’d throw it once and never find it. 😂
Yah gotta keep it in the fairway for sure haha. Def brighter looking in the sun tho I will say than in my filming setup.
Thanks 🙏🏻 been looking for something to help out with dye’ing
Maybe weigh the amount of glue? 🤔🤔
Hope you got some useful info
What kind of dye are you using
Idye poly and pro chemical and dye
"I think good things are happening now."👍
I am planning on my first dye being next week. I was wondering if this would work outside? I've noticed a lot of people are inside. Is this just for video's or do you not have to worry about fumes?

@@DiscGolfNerd lucid plastic
Very odd. Idye poly and acetone or pro Chem?
Dm me on Instagram if you can and I'll try to see if I can help you figure it out.
Is this foodcolor or Epoxid ?
I use either Idye poly or Pro chemical and dye

very informative video. my only complaint was that it was mostly filler. this video could have been 10 minutes. thumbs up for the info, thanks.

I listened at 1.5x speed and it was perfect!
Boom
Great video but it definitely doesn’t need to be 40 minutes. I skipped through 90% of it.
