I've just been getting back into dyeing for the first time since 2016. Your videos are all very helpful and this tip for driver rims is excellent. Thanks, bud.
right before this video went up i tried something very similar. Only difference was i pulled the disc out and rinsed it then flipped it over and dunked the rim into that same bed for an hour. Thought thats what you were gonna do. Great Video!!!!
Sweet dye! Love the colors. Can’t wait to try the rim trick. Have you thought about doing any more of the manipulated cells like the one when you used a straw to blow them around I thought that one was really awesome
I've heard you say you use a 150 watt lamp but I've also heard you say you use a 250 watt bulb. I thought you werent supposed to use a bulb thats a higher wattage than the fixture its in. Just trying to get my heat just right and don't know what bulbs to use for my 150 watt lamp. Thanks!
Great videos, I’m onto my 4th dye and the first few have all turned out awesome! Any advice on how long/how hot to dye Kastaplast K1 glow plastic under a heat lamp? I’ve done two different glow plastics so far; one was a little too light and the other started to bleed together a bit, so I want to make sure I try and hit that sweet spot.
I typically heat discs between 120-145 degrees for an hour to an hour 10. If the stamp is particularly fragile I'll go lower heat for longer like 105 degrees for 2 hours 30
are you using the recommended prochem to floetrol mix ratio, or something different? Also, it seems other dyers have muted colors, but yours are always so vibrant. Any reason you could comment on for this?
I use the recommended floetrol/dye ratio from the instructions on the Prochem site. I think I get more vibrant and sharper colors because I heat discs at a higher temp than most other dyers.

Glad you're finding them helpful!
Great work

Love it! I normally lotion dye my rims, I’ll have to try this!

Thanks! This should save a bit of time over flipping the disc to dye the bottom
Hey man other than the proton plastic what other plastic by MVP do you usually dye?
Neutron plastic is my favorite plastic to dye. Takes dye very well and doesn't fade fast.
How many discs can you typically do in a bed before it gets too muddied?

I really enjoyed that as well. I will certainly be revisiting that but not sure when.

What bulbs do you use in your heat lamps?
250w infrared
does the blue have the oil mixed or is it only in use with the pick?
Only on the pick
