I remember getting a Firebird when they came out!!! Damn that takes me back 🤣😂. I remember thinking "who the hell can throw these!?". This was also when I didn't quite understand the flight number system. Ended up trading my buddy who only threw sidearm. My Firebird for his Valkyrie. Awesome dye! I just did my first a couple days ago. Pro-chem powders and shaving cream. Turned out great. I'm definitely going to try the Floetrol bed soon.
Ive been wanting to dye a sexy bird but the first 2 attempts i had with champion type plastic were total fails, 3 out of 4 colors barely showed up the last was faint and no detail. I used longer heat time and cool down and have great results with esp/star type plastic :/
I've not had a lot of luck with and Champ/C LIne type plastic with Floetrol beds. More of a stained glass look than the saturation with Star and the like. I do go longer on set time with Champ plastic.
Hi great video. Can I use "pipette method" when I want to do Floetrol bed ? I mean, firs I add my colour and acetone, then pour it to floetrol bed using pipette. Or must I also use Floetrol to mix my colours ? Thanks.
Thanks man! Yeah, I do 2 seedling mats, one on bottom and then one on top. I leave them about 2.5 hours this way and get great saturation. I'm starting to see some issues with foil/stamp damage with so much heat though so working on figuring that out without having to glue mask every stamp! Thanks again for the support!
Amazing work! I love that you saved parts of the stamp by covering it with glue, well done.

Similar to a clear glue bed? Not sure, I've not tried, nor heard of anyone doin it, but give it a shot and let me know how it works out!!
@@rprzybyszjr Thanks.
how long did it sit in there before you pulled it?
He mentions 2.5hours in the other comment.
Thanks for sharing!! The disc came out looking great!! What temp do you have your mats set at for those couple hours?
There's no temp control on them, just plug and go. Thanks for checking it out!
Cool vid thanks for sharing. Do you have two heat mats going? Awesome results dude!
