  • I get a ton of requests for a quick video on mixing. The first portion of this video goes over mixing Floetrol and Prochemical dye, and the remainder goes into using the color wheel to mix primary colors into a full spectrum to dye a disc swatch.

    Would be cool to see this done on a yelllow disc, and a blue disc, just to see how much it changes each color

    Love your channel! When we make a color wheel I put a small coating of floetrol in the bottom to prevent it from running every where. Might dilute a little bit but it was easier.

    Lifts don’t necessarily sell, but they take dye very well. That is, you generally get the colour on the disc that you started with. I am all for colour names ie sonic blue, flag blue, navy blue, etc but I have the hardest time deciding if a colour such as random blue is closer to purple or green. Using just the primary colours is a great idea, but misses the hues. I was spinning with sonic blue today and truly thought it was a Blue Blue, after rinsing, I realized it was a purplish blue. I am not sure if it was the disc (Latitude’s gold plastic-another what you use is what you get) or my mixture, but I was shocked. In terms of a ‘colour wheel’, what i use is a disc and just swatch with a q-tip all blues in one section, greens in another. It is doable with lotion, acetone, and da mixtures, but I have never tried it with Floetrol. “@ThisishowIdye” has shown off a colour wheel that includes all the hues of the colours. They do have to be recreated every so often. Thank for the content. I learn something new every week.

      There are so many variables it can be tough to make a swatch that will be useful in every situation. Floetrol strikes me as a tough one to make a thorough swatch with just because you are putting the disc in the bed and not the lotion/dye on the disc.

    Been waiting for this one for awhile! I was wondering if you've ever tried mixing dip n glo in to any of your bottles as well? I wonder if the worm dip that glows would help accentuate the neon pro chem colors? 7

    So informative, thank you! If you wanted to lighter shades of a single color, would you just use less dye in the same amount of floetrol?

    Love the info about how to avoid brown and how primary colors mix. Very helpful.
    On another note, is there any story behind the 4x4 Rubik's cube t shirt? Do you just like the colors or are you a cuber as well?

    • @LilbotDiscGolf

      My wife got me that shirt and I really like it! Not a cuber at all though, I've never been able to wrap my head around them.

      Thanks! I got them from a restaurant supply store. Don't think they have a website

    How do you mix your Black with ipoly and Pro chemical?
    With only onex, i get a littlebit of a Black/gray ish instead of Dark Black.

      iDye poly black is the best black. It's truly black.

      I mix 50/50 idy poly black with onyx at the same quantity listed in the prochem dye sheet

    why did you use hot water instead of room temperature water?

    • @LilbotDiscGolf
      @LilbotDiscGolf  21 хвилина тому +1

      Hot water can absorb more dye than room temp
