just gotta return and say thanks, saw your video in the morning, and pulled the trigger the same night. Just in case anyone is looking, as long as the die is for polyester, liquid or powder it should work fine
I really enjoyed this method of dyeing. Mine is sitting in the dye now. I underestimated how hard to press when cutting the contact paper and had to go back over it.
Tip for air bubbles. If you use a credit card or ID card and just run the edge of it along the surface of the disc, starting in the middle. It makes it really easy to remove them all. If you haven't already changed your process LOL Its been a few years sense you posted this.
I was apprehensive to sit through a 20 minute video, but so worth it! Thanks for being thorough-- a close friend gave me a plain red Millenium Scorpius to customize and I have been scouring the internet for advice. My question for you is, if I use a yellow dye poly on this (plain, not dark or light really) red disc, do you think it would show through at all? I'd hate to spend so much time cutting only to not get a good stain. I'll poke through your other videos and see if you've tried it but I wanted to ask here first! Your work is really clean and well placed! Thanks so much for taking the time for newbie folks like me :D
B. 4man it will be very difficult to get a light color dye to show on a darker disc. Blue or black will show nicely, but yellow, If the disc takes the dye, will show up orange if at all.
Great job in this video, only if I had watched this before I tried my first dye job but after watching this I feel confident I will succeed on my next one, thanks for this great video!!!
Great video. I am glad someone took the time to explain how it's done. I imagine there are some variations; for example, I suppose people have made less complex stencils that they can cut out prior to putting on the disc to avoid marking the top of the disc with an exacto blade. Do you dull the point of the blade? I'm leery of working on the top surface with sharp objects.
Little Gray doing it like he did gets you closer to having your pattern where you want or need it to be I attempted putting the pattern on after I cut it out and it was very difficult to get it centered and whatnot without messing up the sticky ness by having to remove it to make adjustments, but I’d say no on dulling the blade I couldn’t even see the marks it makes after cutting out the pattern the edge of the dye makes it so you can’t see it, but if you have a brand new very sharp exacto blade you don’t need to push down very hard to gut threw the paper it takes a lot of force to damage the disc
You can buy stencil cutting machines so the transfer paper goes directly on the already cut stencil,weed the black parts out and then place the already weeded stencil on the disc. Laser pointer can be helpful for centering.
possibly for some darker dye results for the (lighter colors) you could take some fine sandpaper and sand the surface of the disc so the dye can take a stronger hold on the surface...?
Very helpful...I have tried drawing my own designa...but you can imagine how that turned out. This gives me another option to try as I like to have my discs standout from others. Thanks for the great video
Using a vinyl cutter would be a faster way to generate your designs. You would cut-out your stencil using adhesive-backed vinyl, 'weed-out' (remove) the actual design and discard, and then use the remaining outside vinyl material (the 'negative space') as your stencil. All you would need is a relatively inexpensive vinyl cutter like a 'Cricket'. Google: Vinyl cutters.
I’m gonna try it soon but I’m gonna cut my stencil not on my disc and then place it. Just don’t take the back off to make it sticky until after the cut.
Seems like if there are internal design pieces, that cutting prior to putting on the disc won’t work unless you have the patience to place each little piece individually after you put the main outline on the disc
Can anyone tell me why a star invictus won't take Idye Poly black? I have the same set up and everything here but it always comes out this extremely dull gray, like it just barely gets any dye on it, and I leave it in there for hours and it doesn't change
I did the same exact steps, using the same exact disc and materials, let it soak 24 hours and the dye just barely left a mark on the disc. Where did I go wrong?? HELP PLEASE?
U can also buy stencils right that have the pattern cut in the contact paper stick it on the disc and just remove to parts u want black and then dye right?
Could you not paint the dye on the disc with a brush versus dipping it in the dye? Ive never dyed before just watched a bunch of videos and trying ti figure out the best way to go about all this.
I can only imagine it does. I cringed to watch this. Why not just use a vinyl cutter and affix it as a tranposed image? No way in hell Im taking a blade to the top of my discs. Scratch lines would seem amatuer. Hell, whatever works and as long as the person using the disc is happy...
Rorlin 3D NerdStop star and champion are the best for innova brand. for others just use their equivalent to those. Sorry idk the other's plastic, I only throw innova.
I have seen advice saying the premium plastics are the best. Like Ride Warrior was saying a baseline would be Innova and it's DX plastic. From what I hear it doesn't soak up Dye at all.
Not a disc golf player, but some goo gone or other similar citrus based mild adhesive remover should take it right off then follow that with simple dish detergent to clean any residue. That should do it without damaging the disc or dye.
pretty sure he did two different styles of dye. first the stencil dye for the black outline, then the blue looks like it is from a blue dye in a shaving cream bed dye job before or after the dip dye.
How do you get such dark blacks? I used a bit of acetone in a detergent mix and got a dull, faded stain on a white disc. Used a plain water mix with a bit of acetone, trying to go over the same area and there was no change. The contacts paper on the other hand is now a deep purple. What am I doing wrong?
I use just plain water and dye powder mix. I use just enough water to dissolve the powder so it's not watered down and I have the highest concentration of dye. Basically a pickle jar of water and a whole pack of dye. I also leave the disc in the dye over night to maximize the amount color that the disc soaks in. (So about 12 hours). My contact paper comes off purple as well so that is normal. Another factor is plastic type, some take dye better than others, in this video is innova star plastic, which I have noticed gives a brighter color compared to champion plastic. Hope this helps!
Dyes are permanent. It binds and dyes the actual plastic. And the marble effect can be achieved by blowing it around the medium you use with a straw. Lots of really good videos out there!
Why not just weed the positive image from the vinyl and transfer the negative backing directly to the disc? If you are worried about bubble, there is a soapy solution sign makers put on the surface first before squeegee

@@gordonyork6638: I personally would only use 'vector' files. They don't pixelate like a raster images, and they're very 'clean'. You can take a 1" square, vector image and enlarge it 1000 % or more, and there's no pixelation at all. The only way I've seen a raster image work at all, is to have started with a very "large" image file, that then has been greatly reduced prior to cutting/printing. Just not a very good idea! If you absolutely have to use a raster image, I'd only print the image on a solid piece of vinyl, add a 'perimeter' circle around your image, then vinyl-cut your circle out, and then place the circle on your disc. If you wanted a 'clear' look, use a clear vinyl. I'm not sure how much weight that would add to your disc, or if it would even be an 'approved' way of imaging a disc, with regards to the 'governing body' for 'disc competitions'. You would want to check that.
It all depends on the disc, and how the plastic takes the dye. You can take 2 discs from the same manufacturing batch, put them in the same dye, at the same time, for the same amount of time, and they will look completely different when you take them out. I try to maximize the amount of dye by only using just enough water to dissolve the powder dye. So I use 1 pickle jar of water for 1 pack of dye. This makes it more concentrated and allows the disc to take more dye quickly. Hope this helps!
I'm making a local team for fun with some buddies and I'm having problems finding a way for a custom stencil. I want to use this method. Any idea on how to get my own image created into stencil paper?
So i used this tutorial and i did about 5 discs and they all turned out great. Second time doing another 5 or so, the dye wasnt sticking well and was looking light. Doing a 3rd batch now and having the same issue of dye looking light. Is the dye too dilluted? Maybe water wasnt hot enough when i mixed? Any thoughts?
Ben Burwinkel try adding a little heat, I've read that it helps the dye soak into the plastic, but be careful not to heat too much otherwise you may warp the disc. Otherwise just give the disc more time in the dye. The longer you leave it, the darker it will be. I usually leave mine over night (about 12 hours). Glad you found this tutorial helpful!!
Also, if you are using the same batch of dye for all of these discs, you may have used it all up and there is no more dye for the disc to soak up. Try mixing a new batch of dye and see if you get better results.
I put 1/2 dye batch in microwave for a couple minutes. Mixed it in and the disc came out darker and better. So temp makes a difference. First discs i did was in the summer and they came out the best. I have the dye mix in the garage and its cool in there.
i have not had any issues with the sink as we have an all metal sink. however, be careful with the counter tops you may want to lay down paper towels or a rag you dont care about. just in case.
here you go. i am sorry it took so long to reply vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rwbyfanon/images/d/dc/800Weissartjpg.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140501072807
I do not. The discs hold the color for a long while. Also, if you do spray on a clear coat, it may make the disc illegal for tournament play because it is adding weight to the disc and may change it's flight path. But if you don't play tournaments, I'd say go for it and give it a try.
Been following this step by step...even left a disc in for a few hours and the dye isn't staying on the disc at all =/ can anyone help ? followed everything in this video
do you know what kind of plastic the disc is? some plastics will not take dye. i know for innova you want to use their premium plastics (Champion and Star) their lower quality plastics (DX, Pro) will not take the dye, or will only take a little bit. this should be the same for other brands as well.
When cutting, i only use enough pressure on the knife to cut through the paper and contact paper. you can pretty easily tell when you are through both. you may get some lines in the disc but they are so small that i can't see them. the light cuts in the disc actually help with getting a more defined line on the edges of your dyed areas and do not effect the flight characteristics of the disc in any noticeable way.
MrAmouradian star plastic. from my understanding this only works with higher end plastics like star and champion. and other brand's equivalents. dx and other lower plastics either fade quickly or don't take the dye at all.
Yeah DX plastic doesn’t even hold sharpie that well u can still acetone off sharpie even if it’s been there for yrs. sometime all the way sometimes it will still be there just super light. I’ve tried DX it’s a no go
I just wanna say use gloves when working with the acetone. It dries out your hands alot! And use as little acetone as possible as the acetone actually eats a little of the disc.. telling you this just in case someone wants to dip the whole disc in acetone 😂
watched this video like 4x over the last month or so, finally taking the plunge today
For those attempting other types of dyes, might be handy to keep the i-dye color intensifier packets! They help brighten things up when mixing your dyes with glue / lotion beds (just a couple drops). I put all my packets in a sealable plastic bottle just for this reason.
Nice video! Cotton balls with a half rotation/pulling up motion will lift the stamps off without pushing the dye from the stamps into the plastic.
just gotta return and say thanks, saw your video in the morning, and pulled the trigger the same night. Just in case anyone is looking, as long as the die is for polyester, liquid or powder it should work fine

Dude thanks .. now I know and I have a few made like this .. I can't wait to but my own stamp on each disc 👍
How long does the die last after you mix it and store it in the jar?
Tough seeing you’re a lions fan. Good luck to their coming seasons haha.
how hard it was to not cut into the disc with the knife? im kinda worried i will create slashes into my discs doing this method
So even if you cut the stencil on the disc, it does not go through and make cuts on the actual disc? I feel like i would cut through the plastic
possibly for some darker dye results for the (lighter colors) you could take some fine sandpaper and sand the surface of the disc so the dye can take a stronger hold on the surface...?

@@jayedwin98020 Vinyl cutter is a little costly for just dying discs though unless its a business
Have you ever tried heating the dye? It's quicker. Doesn't take an hour for the dye to settle in.
Very cool. Doesn't it cut into the disk when exacto-ing the pattern?
It's a touch thing. You have to bare down enough to cut the stencil but not cut into the plastic. It's an art.
I’m gonna try it soon but I’m gonna cut my stencil not on my disc and then place it. Just don’t take the back off to make it sticky until after the cut.

Not a disc golf player, but some goo gone or other similar citrus based mild adhesive remover should take it right off then follow that with simple dish detergent to clean any residue. That should do it without damaging the disc or dye.
another piece of tape. Removing glue and tape is best by mechanical means first, before risking solvents.

dish soap and water is what we used to use for window tinting. I'd think that just using adhesive vinyl alone would be best, as its flexible anyhow.

Thanks for all the information man.
It was at around 5 minutes. Just warm tap water.

Do you have to use the golem color of the dye on one disc or could you use like half and use half another time?
You can save any unused dye in a glass jar and use it on multiple discs
@@RideWarrior92 thank you I'm a beginner at dyeing disc and I wanta do stencil dyeing over shaving cream
What do I do with the rest of the dye? Can I store it and use like a month later?
yes, i just pour it in an old pickle jar, or you can use mason jars. just give it a good shake before you use it again to mix it back up.
how about when I wash the disc does the dye, dye my sink?
i have not had any issues with the sink as we have an all metal sink. however, be careful with the counter tops you may want to lay down paper towels or a rag you dont care about. just in case.

Not really, premium plastic takes dye better DX is notoriously stubborn.

Does RIT Dye work just as well?
Zac Campbell from my research, the new rit dye formula does not work. Old formulas from several years ago use to, but not anymore
new rit dyemore should Im going to try it today
After the dye work is completed, do you spray on a clear coat?
I do not. The discs hold the color for a long while. Also, if you do spray on a clear coat, it may make the disc illegal for tournament play because it is adding weight to the disc and may change it's flight path. But if you don't play tournaments, I'd say go for it and give it a try.

MrAmouradian star plastic. from my understanding this only works with higher end plastics like star and champion. and other brand's equivalents. dx and other lower plastics either fade quickly or don't take the dye at all.
I'm a huge Lions fan too and those putters are sweet!
Thanks! glad you like them! :D #OnePride
i dont think you need the whole pack of dye in that jar, i bet a teaspoon would work...
Well, I guess the yellow dye doesn’t work on dx plastic :/
My understanding is Star and Champion work great and DX doesn't well at all
Yeah DX plastic doesn’t even hold sharpie that well u can still acetone off sharpie even if it’s been there for yrs. sometime all the way sometimes it will still be there just super light. I’ve tried DX it’s a no go
You sound like Simon Lizotte😅
I just wanna say use gloves when working with the acetone. It dries out your hands alot! And use as little acetone as possible as the acetone actually eats a little of the disc.. telling you this just in case someone wants to dip the whole disc in acetone 😂
