2 videos in 2 weeks? You’re spoiling us
You're presentation style is perfect. I've learned a lot from your videos, making changes to try new things with my dyes. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
temp guns are great. Just remember to check ratios. You'll see different temps from farther because it's scanning a larger area
Color saturation is definitely what I’m struggling with right now, going to try my first white disc soon, hoping that makes it easier
Can you show us sometime which 3 in 1 oil you use? I swear I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything but 2 in 1 😅
Both of those discs look awesome.
Really well presented! Thank you
Good stuff right here.
Thanks for sharing your video. I love both of those disc…
thank you so much for the info you are putting out. not just for discs but many other hobbies.
Glad to help
Great stuff - really appreciate sharing this. Opens up a whole new world.
Glad you enjoyed it!
We need more! I personally would enjoy seeing more cell / spiral discs or maybe a snakeskin / alligator skin type of idea? Nevertheless enjoy each of these videos and can’t wait to try this for myself. Thanks for doing what you do, good sir! Cheers!
This is so cool I’m thinking about trying to dye my first disk because of you. Thank you for putting all this out here for us. Your amazing
Thanks alot! You should definitely give it a shot!
A fellow Canadian lets goo!
Could you do a short video on how you mix your dyes?
Good suggestion I'll try get it done soon
Very nice. What do you have your lamp hanging on? Just curious. Thanks.
Thank you so much for all your information! Amazing stuff!! Have you ever had any problems with the foil stamps coming off with that much heat?
Yeah certain fragile stamps like the shatter foil ones will degrade with that much heat. Should have mentioned that. Most stamps hold up just fine in my experience though
Hey! Loving the videos and learning alot from them! I'm guessing all of this is in fahrenheit, right?
Yep, I may live in Canada but my thermometer doesn't know that
Thank you so much for making this content and sharing your knowledge with us. I think I've only seen you do ESP/star type plastic and I'm wondering if you bother with champ/Z type plastic and if you do is the time under heat the same for both plastics or does the translucent plastic need to cook longer?
Champ and Z both dye very well, they don't really require any changes in time if you heat discs this hot. Maybe an extra 5-10 minutes if the disc is crystal clear to begin with.
what type of heat lamp and bulb?
Is the heat lamp bulb is the reptile one? Just bought my dyes that was the only thing I was sure on cause there's different ones lol
Do you need heat lamp to make cells? Or just flotrol and 3&1 ? Do I just let it sit long to develop and dye?
Have you experienced any trouble with warping of the disc with high heat? I've heard other places that you should keep the temperature to 120 degrees or less, otherwise the flight of the disc could be affected. My first hot dip I tried, the disc flew a lot differently after the hot dip than prior. I appreciate all these great tutorials!!
I've only warped one disc and it was the flight plate on a proto blue glow insanity. I've dyed at least a couple hundred discs like this.
@@LilbotDiscGolf thanks for the reply. I'll try to not be too paranoid about warping discs from here on out 😂
@@LSfan22 you can still damage some stamps with heat so keep that in mind
Could you not have to cut the Saran Wrap if you swipe the pan on the long side?
Yes but I prefer doing the swipe lengthwise
What are you looking for when you swipe across the bed with the cellophane?
Looking for as much coverage as possible of the swipe color
I have a heat mat that I used for starting seeds do you think that might work for heating it up without going overboard?
Probably won't work that well as you want to heat the disc itself rather than the bed
Is the black used for swiping also a floetrol mix?
Yes its 50/50 Idye poly black and PCAD onyx
Hey, I was wondering what the longest you'll leave a covered floetrol pan for. I tend to find that I can do around 3 dyes in a day then I wanna get some other stuff done but it feels like a waste to dump the whole pan. Can you leave the pan with plastic wrap for a day or two?
You can leave it covered for quite a while. I've left them for weeks and they still work well
Which 3in1 oil do you use? They have several versions of 3in1.
It's the stuff in the yellow bottle
Will this technique work with a glue bed?
Nope, you're going to need some floetrol if you want to try this out
If I don't have a heat lamp could I put it in a low temp oven?
I would not put the dye mix in any appliance you plan to cook in
@@LilbotDiscGolfwhat do you recommend for alternative to heating if you don’t have a heat lamp?
Some people use a food dehydrator. They do not use it for cooking/drying food. just dyeing discs @@psykokane
did your bed in the beginning have oil in it?
No
Hi, my heat lamp is 100 watts, what height would you suggest to dye my discs at?
I would suggest getting a laser thermometer to measure your temps rather than relying on how high above the bed your lamp is
@@LilbotDiscGolf okay and what temp should I keep it at and for how long? I'm having trouble getting bright colours. Used to get them but now my colours seemed washed out a bit
