Dyed Discs

[Trozzle!!!]

ive been trying to post it for a few days now. for some reason its not loading to my comp. I will try again soon.

[Trozzle!!!]

OK, I got it to work. The dye itself doesnt look like much, but it was a pain in the ass. It is on a nearly perfectly clear Crystal Buzzz. The thing that made it so difficult was that the bee logo was a raised imprint on the bottom side of the disc. I just added the coloring. with the raised edges I was very worried about bleeding. This disc was so damn beautiful when I got it and didnt want to ruin such a beauty of a disc. Looks like I didnt I will get it back to you as soon as I can J Man!!!

Thats sweet, plus +1 for creativity.

[Trozzle!!!]

Thanks!!! It wasnt really being creative. It was more of following the raised areas that were already there and making sure not to have bleeding. A pretty simple dye, but definitely a pain in the ass!!!

Well go to bed lest you be beaten to bad by myself tomorrow, and dont forget to set your clock ahead, would love to meet up with you in the morning and discuss dyes... throw some holes Troz... I am the big bald guy helping to run the tourney.

[Trozzle!!!]

Bed? whats that? I dont need sleep. I will be there and bring many of my dyes for you to see. I will be wearing a Blue LSDiscs hoody. I will look for you in the morn.

She's headed for Walla Walla for the Sushi Classic ... oh yea

[sk8architecture]

Curious to those who Dye. I'm looking at investing in a vinyl cutter for dying discs. Any thoughts?? I'm looking at some on Ebay right now. I have tons of photoshop and Illustrator background for images. I will probaly use the cutter to make stickers and wall art too so I'm thinking 24" cutter. Thoughts???????Thanks for the help.

[Tim]

I would recommend not getting the cheapest one you can possibly find. I have one sitting on my floor right now that doesn't seem to work anymore...and when it did, it was not the simplest thing to use--extremely sparse instructions written in Engrish.

Incidentally, if you're interested, I could probably hook you up with a cheap deal on a previously working, slightly dusty plotter!

[sk8architecture]

Tim sent you a PM.
For those interested I have been looking at these ones on Ebay that are 24" and supplied by US Cutter.

[gwillim]

Here's a project that I'm doing today, I might not finish it until tomorrow, but I'll post it when I'm done.

Anybody know of a good Vinyl cutter for Disc Dying??? Roland is the Best but $$$$$. This will be just for hobby use not for everyday production stuff.

I'm a big fan of the X-acto 360 combo'ed up with a human hand.

Otherwise...

Check with Nate of discgolforegon.com if you must have a plotter, he uses one.

[Trozzle!!!]

They have this machine out, I have no idea how well it would cut vinyl though.

[gwillim]

Here is the finished product. I messed up pretty badly in the planning stage and got a lot of bleeding. This is one my sloppiest dye jobs in the past six months and I’m not very happy with it. I was able to salvage it enough that is looks nice from a couple feet away, but up close it’s pretty poor work.

[TYVEK]

Alright here is another of mine. i did this for a friend and he was having a very hard debate with himself as to throw it or hang it on the wall.

it is a crystal buzzz.
http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/Mr_tyvek/randompictures044.jpg



so i had a question for people that have been dyeinig for while. i didnt do any dyeing over the winter time and my my dye just sat in its jug on the back porch. i got it all mixed up again and went to dye a disc. after two sittings in the black dye of at least 1/2 hour each the black on the disc was only very dark purple when held up to a light. so i went and bought a couple more packets of dye and put them in and got them mixed up.

but on the next disc i did, it was the same deal. the dye just doesnt want to stay mixed up like it used to last summer and even with two fresh packets of dye in it is still isnt as potent as it used to be. i dont have a lot of liquid, less than a quart of liquid and the equvilent of 2 bottles of liquid dye and 2 packets of powder dye in it(which almost seems like overykill)


anybody have any tips or solutions on why my dye isnt as potent as it was and how i can get it better again without just starting a whole new batch of dye?

thanks.

[Mystjava]

Nice work! Just seeing all these beautiful work just makes me wonder.. is it possible, but I am not quite ready to "spoil" my discs yet.

[gwillim]

anybody have any tips or solutions on why my dye isnt as potent as it was and how i can get it better again without just starting a whole new batch of dye?

Put it in a big pot and heat it up to just about boiling. Stir it up a little. The heat mixed with the new dye should revive the whole thing again.

[TYVEK]

i did exactly what you described before my second disc yesterday, but it didnt fix the problem. any other thoughts. there is a possibility that the whole solution froze at some point in the winter. has anybody had any experience with freezing their dye and then trying to dye with it after it has thawed out again. i am thinking that maybe if it froze that it change the molecules somehow. im no physicist though.

thanks!

Did a new dye last night on a Champion Monarch.

Just put it up on the disc golf blog I just started back running. (http://blog.dgstickers.com)

Let me know what you think.

Admin,
Can we merge the two dyed-discs together?

@modified;
Very clean lines, I like it!

[Trozzle!!!]

I second that!!!!

Merged.

[TYVEK]

I am suprised at how quite this thread has been over the last few days.
here are some discs that i did yesterday. maybe this will start some more action here.

ENJOY!

This one is a feldberg boss.
http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/Mr_tyvek/basket_assasin.jpg



and this is a redo of my other "jack" dye. this is one a 2008 USDGC Roc.
http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/Mr_tyvek/Jack-jr.jpg

well thats it for now. i got another couple im working on.

[Trozzle!!!]

I got 2 in the works right now. one may be posted tomorrow. The other one may be posted in a few days or so, but I may hold off posting that one until I give it to the Pro Player at the BSF and get a pic of them posing with me and holding the disc. :biggrin2:

And when I say "Pro", I mean not a local pro

[snap7times]

boooo boooo trozzle... i would rather have my picture taken with the local pros bro... locals rock, they put us on the map...

[AchimbaProphet]

I presume that Trozzle already has the local pros looked after.

All these dyes are excellent! They have all created this inferiority complex that keeps me from pulling out my materials to dye some discs.

[TYVEK]

Here is one more that i just finised up last night.

this is a ICE CLEAR X-out Boss. i have dubbed it the SUPERBOSS now!! hope you enjoy it and have a great weekend! i will be heading out to Walla Walla this afternoon!! GO TEAM OLY!

http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/Mr_tyvek/superboss.jpg

[Tim]

Good lookin' dyes, Orion. I like the layered/3d effect you have on those earlier ones, and that blue on the superboss is friggin' sweet!

[KenGilmore]

Some recent dyes, all very sloppy for some reason.

Blinky, Version 2, on a Star Destroyer
http://www.gilbuddy.com/photo/albums/userpics/10002/DSC_0091_2.jpg

Groovy, Version 1, on a Glow Champion Firebird
http://www.gilbuddy.com/photo/albums/userpics/10002/DSC_0092_2.jpg

The orange and yellow background actually looked more brownish for some reason in person, so I decided to "fix it." As usual, that was a bad idea:

http://www.gilbuddy.com/photo/albums/userpics/10002/DSC_0094_2.jpg

Changing the orange to red introduced a lot of bleeding.

http://www.gilbuddy.com/photo/albums/userpics/10002/DSC_0096_2.jpg

Even with all the "uglies" and sloppiness, they actually look quite good in person. Either that or I just have extremely low standards. :whistler:

Awesome! I dressed up as Spaceman Spiff one year for Halloween, unfortunately, even less people got that than my Tim the Enchanter costume. :rolleyes2: Stupid quasi-obscure references...screw it, I'm dressing up as a vampire next time!

[KenGilmore]

Here is another I did this weekend. This one took quite a bit of time.

Should have added "Not All Who Wander Are Lost"
in the Middle.....j/k thats sweet:yay:

[Trozzle!!!]

I saw that symbol on a neighbors van window. I didnt know exactly what it said but I was going to dye it anyways. Thanks Ken for doing it, that way I wouldnt have to. haha. nice job btw

[KenGilmore]

I had the idea to do this dye for over a year, but I was going to change it to "One disc to rule them all, one disc..." etc in the tengwar script, but I never could figure out the translation of "disc" into black speech. After a full year, I figured I might as well give up and just dye it with the original text.

[TYVEK]

Ken,

i Love the calvin disc!!!! and the "blinky" disc would be the perfect disc for the nuclear meltdown tournament in kenniwick this year!! excellent dyes all around!

[JMan]

Ken I need this on a Clear Force, if I can find the disc, you interested?.

If Ken wont do it, I will give it a shot, but it would be quite awhile until I could get to it.

[JMan]

I'll see if I can track down a light clear Force.

[Trozzle!!!]

Here is a little something I threw together quickly. Had to rush it so I could throw this Ace disc again:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/Troy_g/03-23-09_2144.jpg

on a "Groove" of course

[CarlitosBonitos]

Nice work Trozzle, I remember witnessing that exact groove right out of your hand on a forehand chain smasher!

[Trozzle!!!]

Yes, that is the same disc!!! The dye itself kinda sucks. I had to rush it so I could throw it again. The idea is good, just didnt turn out that great in my opinion.

Still has the ace signatures on it, dont worry :) In fact, thats your sig right there in the pic

I still think it gets hella style points to make up for the rush job... Curious what you are planning on playing in... I didnt see your name for April Fools

[Trozzle!!!]

The next event I am planning on playing is the BSF. I am taking time from playing so I can dye all these tourney discs that I am dying. I have 4 to do for the 3 headed Monster tourney and 12 so far for the DEAF tourney. plus I have a few ideas for my own discs, plus a disc for a top touring pro player

[Sausage Fingers]

Stupid quasi-obscure references...screw it, I'm dressing up as a vampire next time!

One year I went to Howliewood dressed as Jek Porkins aka Red Six from Star Wars. Talk about your obscure characters... Of course it did help that I was with a large group of others dressed as the more 'famous' characters...:pirate:

PS The Calvin disc ROCKS!

[KenGilmore]

Unfortunately, I don't have the time or inclination to do many dye jobs, so I can't offer my services for other people (especially after the amount of time it took to cut out the LOTR "One Disc").

Fortunately, there are plenty of talented people that are way better than I am anyway.

[TYVEK]

Alright here are some more dye jobs. a few of them were for our bag tag series last year. I just read that chUck has just joined the forum so i bet we will be seeing some awesome stuff soon!!:yay:

this one is a champion eagle.

and this one is my latest installment in my Mr. YUK series. it is a champion groove.

[CarlitosBonitos]

So I have finally figured out what to do with all those late nights taking care of my 17 day old baby girl. When she actually does sleep that is. I went to Corvallis a couple of days a go and bought a super gummy, very champion like, STAR Boss, and I won this Groove a few weeks ago at the Daylight Savings Tourney. Enjoy, Hope to see you all Sunday for April Fools Dubs!

[Trozzle!!!]

Im just getting started on this one, it wont be done for awhile, but here is a preview of the next multicolor masterpiece I am going to put out :) Also, I dont have a white disc right now, so its going on a glow Sidewinder


http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/Troy_g/smurfs.jpg

[Trozzle!!!]

I got the first (black) color of about 10 colors dyeing right now, its gonna be sweet :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

[Trozzle!!!]

3 colors to go!!!!! I love building the suspense :)

[KenGilmore]

What suspense?

[snap7times]

Booooo Ken... Boooo....

[DrEnigma]

Have two new dyes to show. The first I just got done with the other day. If you've seen the show, you should immediately recognize The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. Predictably enough, it is on a 167g Champ Monarch.
http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp127/hymesz/DSCF0272.jpg

And this one was a dual color dye of black and blue on a 172g Champ Eagle. However, the disc got left on the blue dye for a little too long, and the only way you can see the two colors is when the light shines through it. So, I set it over my light box to take the photo of the intended image.
http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp127/hymesz/DSCF0265.jpg

[Trozzle!!!]

Ken really hurt my feelings :( I dont think I am going to post the disc now :nono:

By the way, it should be one in about an hour :)

[Trozzle!!!]

ok Ken didnt hurt my feelings. He gives me $hit all the time, it doesnt bother me.

Started with this image:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/Troy_g/smurfs.jpg

here is the glow that didnt work out. I didnt think about it being DX plastic :( Still looks pretty trippy when glowing though. might add more color to make it better?

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/Troy_g/Picture002-1.jpg

went out and got a Star disc, and it worked out much better :drool::trophy:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/Troy_g/Picture001-1.jpg

This one may go up on Ebay, not sure yet.

[KenGilmore]

Nice job!

[Trozzle!!!]

Thank you very much sir. sorry for not building up any suspense :) :laughing:

[Trozzle!!!]

The glow one will be free to whoever wants it after I am done with it. Its a 170 Glow Sidewinder (one of the Hornings anniversary discs)

[snap7times]

Dude, that looks like a lot of work with all the colors, if you want to sell it, ebay it, am sure someone wants to huk a smurfs disc or even hang it up at their office.. smurfs is gold..

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Nice job!

Ken, quit messing with Trozz.:biggrin2:Gotta say Troy that disc came out awsome. Good job! :cheers:

that smurf disc is AWESOME!!!! i think that is the best multicolor dye i have ever seen!!

great job!!! hey if nobody has claimed that glow version, i would love to have it! let me know by PM.

[zippyboy]

Troz, the Smurf dyes are wicked. And I am sure Tyvek could give the glow one a good home.

Z-Man, the Monarch disc turned out awesome as well! Nicely done, sir!

[Trozzle!!!]

I got 3 so far wanting the glow. I will decide who to give it to soon. My top vote so far is for a fellow many of you know who now lives in MI. He was the first to ask and of course a long time friend.

Nice dye Troy.

Excuse my Smurf ignorance, but whats up with the creepy guy lurking in the bushes?

[D-Walk]

Nice dye Troy.

Excuse my Smurf ignorance, but whats up with the creepy guy lurking in the bushes?

That would be Gargamel the Smurfaphile.

[Trozzle!!!]

Yes, that would be Gargamel. he was always trying to capture the smurfs. Below him also in the bush is his cat Azrael.

[jevon]

Yes, that would be Gargamel. he was always trying to capture the smurfs. Below him also in the bush is his cat Azrael.

He created Smurfette to try to lure in Smurfs to one of his traps. If you'll notice, she is the only Smurf without a tail.

[zippyboy]

Wow, Jevon. Geek knowledge +2. :laughing:

[Trozzle!!!]

Will be posting another one later today.This ones only 5 colors, so nothing special :laughing::laughing:

[Ol' Bob]

I bought a postcard at the Country Fair about 25 years ago that pictured a smurf, pinned to a tree with a spear, his eyes exed out, the caption being: "SMORPSE."

[Trozzle!!!]

Just got this one done. I know pretty boring...only 5 colors, :laughing::laughing:

Its going to a touring pro though, so its kinda special. I think she will like it.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/Troy_g/Picture-2.jpg

[Jet]

Sweet dye Trozzle!

[Trozzle!!!]

Thanks Jet, I think the #1 female Pro in the world will like it :)

[snap7times]

Where's the ring?

[Trozzle!!!]

ok, she may love me after getting the disc, but not like that. Val wouldnt marry me :laughing::laughing::laughing:

[Trozzle!!!]

My Smurf disc sold on Ebay for $31. not too bad I guess for my first Ebay sell. I know it could have gone for more, but I will take it for my first real sell.

The Smurfs disc is headed off to TN in the next couple days. I am going to try to get the buyer to at least get a pic of it at a local course so I can keep it in my records. :)

[snap7times]

Why not just do it through an adoption agency if you want to keep in touch with the smurf disc throughout it's life...

[discgolforegon]

Here are a couple dyes that i just finished up, i have more in process and will post those later. All of these discs will be on eBay starting tomorrow. :D

[BraveRutherford]

Does anyone know if any of the Pro(R-,KC-etc..) plastics will hold a dye? I know that DX and regular Pro don't work but what about the other types of Pro?:chinscratch: If anyone has tried these i'd like to hear how it turned out. I'll post some pictures of some of my dyes once i figure out how.:smash:

[Trozzle!!!]

All of the Pro I have dyed so far took the dye very well. here is a Pro Starfire I recently did for Val Jenkins.

I'll post some pictures of some of my dyes once i figure out how.:smash:

JK Pro takes a dye really well; the second picture here (http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2465#post2465) is a dye I did on a JK Pro Valkyrie. Haven't tried the KC.

Dye simply will NOT take to R-Pro. I used the same method of dip dye I always have before (where the dye is usually set in after around 15 minutes), but even after three hours dipped, my R-Pro Dart looked nearly new (it looked like a whiteboard that had been erased). I was a little upset at the fact, since I am taking a real liking to that disc and had a nice design in mind for it.

[Scott]

I've had no problems dying pro plastic. Works great.

[DrEnigma]

I've had no problems dying pro plastic. Works great.

Even the R-Pro plastic?

I recently found a 150g champ stingray in my bag that someone must have given me to dye something on. I seriously have no memory of who it was from or what I am supposed to dye on it. if this is yours, please remind me what I am supposed to dye on it.

[Trozzle!!!]

I posted the pic of this disc before, but here it is again with the proud owner :)
dont know what was up with my camera, so all I got was a blurry pic
If you cant tell through the blur who it is, its the #1 Female in the world, Val Jenkins :)

I have been working on a few lately, and here they are! i have to say that clear plastic is my new favorite to work with. especially if it is Discraft crystal Z!!

this one was a birthday present. i saw him throw it at the BSF and he can really fling it for his age! it is a sidewinder.

http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/Mr_tyvek/soccerballdye.jpg


this one is a valkyrie that i did for a wenatchee guy. it turned out a little darker than i wanted thanks to my not paying enough attention to it.:nono:

http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/Mr_tyvek/gratefuldeadsundye.jpg


And this one is Probably one of my best so far! it definately took the most time doing. it is a new EVO plastic wizard.

there are my new ones, i cant wait to see some of your guys new dyes that you have been doing.:yay:

[Trozzle!!!]

Ive done a few for the 2009 Oregon Deaf Disc Golf Champioships. I may post a few of them later tonight. dont have pics of them yet. I will say though that dyeing ASL signs saying 2009 ODDGC is a very hard task!!!!

Ah, I had Powdered Toast for dinner, and now I'm going to go play with my log...

http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/Mr_tyvek/powderedtoastmandye.jpg

I'm glad Orion posted this...I wanted to show it off but knew my crappy cell phone camera wouldn't do it justice. After finishing a round that I felt was disappointingly bad at BSF (only to learn that I had yet to see what bad really was), Orion was there with this in hand. I'd asked him to do a dye for me a while back, and finally decided on a PTM dye. I sent him a couple of pictures for ideas to work from...I had big hopes for how it would turn out, but when he showed this too me, it exceeded my hopes by far and took a lot of the sting out of having to add my scorecard.

Awesome work, Orion. I took it out for its test drive today, it definitely has a little less glide than a standard Wiz, but I just need to get used to it, because I don't want to ever take this out of my bag! :cheers:

[Trozzle!!!]

I would hate to lose something like that, considering the amount of work I know it took to complete it. I have only lost 2 dyed discs so far and both were a major bummer. But thats the risk you take dyeing discs. I am not going to put everyting I dye on the wall to sit, and I dont expect those I dye for to do that either.

[TYVEK]

Tim it was my pleasure dyeing that disc for you.

for dying that disc for tim, he gave me a totally clear Crystal Z avenger ss disc. i have very high hopes for this disc!!!! right now i have a esp avenger ss that is my primary roller disc and i want to replace it with this crystal one. so i am looking for some ideas to put on the disc. i have a couple of my own, but was wondering if somebody else has some really cool idea for a design that would go on a roller disc. the design should have at least 4 colors to it and flow nicely.

I dont dye discs for people to put on there wall. if they put them on their wall thats there choice, but my intentions are for the discs that i dye to be used. it is a big bummer though when i hear that a disc that i dyed has been lost, that sounds alittle weird but i have an attachment to each disc that i dye. so when somebody loses one of my dyes, i am always looking for it.



i just had an idea!:shocked: when i was talking to gwillim on saturday, we were talking about how the northwest has some of the best disc dyers out there.(which is true i think) sooooooo.... what would you guys think about doing some dye swapping? like i have a disc or two that needs dying, and i could send a disc to one person and they send my one of theres and we dye the discs for each other and send them back? it would be really cool to share artwork with each other that way. people know me around olympia as a disc dyer, but it would be cool to show them some work that somebody else did for me as well.
the first time i heard of gwillim, was when Eric Lund showed me a couple discs that was dyed for him by gwillim, it would be cool to spread the word about the different disc dyers of the northwest. let me know what you think.

[Trozzle!!!]

I am down for the dye swapping idea!!!!!

[Burge]

I've been dying my own discs for a couple of years now.

These are some of the latest:

BTW: the discs are a Beast, a Star Destroyer and a Force. (Me thinks it's obvious which one is which)

[TYVEK]

I am down for the dye swapping idea!!!!!

cool! what is your timeline for dyeing right now? do you have a waiting list going like the BSF?! and how long would it take you to do a disc? i have got a disc waiting for a dye, and you will drool over the color!! it is a pearly clear Z plastic!! perfect for one of your cool dyes!

let me know. right now i only one in the planning stages. i can usually have a disc done in a few days unless it is super intricate. :yay::yay:

[TYVEK]

nice dyes. i can only tell which one the beast is! that one is easy. i know that the red one is a starwars symbol, but dont know what it stands for. if you put a small black line outlining the red symbol it will make it more contrasty and it will "pop" more. just a though. do you have anymore discs that you have dyed that you can post?

[Trozzle!!!]

OK, here are the discs I dyed for the 2009 Oregon Deaf Disc Golf Championships, along with the tee signs I made for the event. ( I threw together all of the tee signs in a couple hours the day before i left for the event).

[RallySoob]

could someone post a link to the best resource/tutorial to get started?

[Tim]

Chuck and I did a couple videos a while back on the basics of dyeing. This is the first one (you should be able to see all the other parts in the "related videos" on the right hand side): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USYRUBkdxn0

Also, Gwillim wrote up a nice little piece on his blog: http://blog.ryangwillim.com/?p=309

The methods are largely the same, with a little bit of variance here and there, but they'll get you on the right track.

[TYVEK]

could someone post a link to the best resource/tutorial to get started?

I know that Gwillim has a really good tutorial on dyeing. if you look back on the pages of this thread, you will see a link to it. or go to YOU TUBE and type in disc golf dye and a couple videos should come up that ChUck and Tim did last year. If those dont answer any questions, just ask them on this thread. im sure most people here are willing to give you any help you need.

I look forward to seeing some of your dyes!

[TYVEK]

tim beat me to the info!!!! :headbang: :smash:

[TYVEK]

Ok I am still searching for effective ways to thicken my dye. This is a plea to ALL disc dyers out there!!! what ways have people found to thicken there dye and/or make it set in faster??? i have tried laundry detergent-it makes the dye thicker, but the dye doesnt set in the plastic very well. i left some on a disc for 2 hours and only had a very faint coloring after i washed it off.

somebody told me to try dish detergent, but i havent came across any clear detergent yet. i was reading on the internet about thickening acid dyes with Guar gum, but i dont know where to get it at.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW FOR SURE WHAT SORT OF DYE THE FLY DYERS USE FOR THERE DISCS???!!! it seems like the dye on the fly dye discs doesnt fade like regular dye does over time and the colors that they have are so vibrant.

a couple people have told me that it is just RIT dye. if it is RIT, is there some sort of additive to make the dye set in faster or make it more colorfast over time?

I really want to get away from the dye bath method of dyeing without having to wait forever for the dye to set in at room temprature.

any sort of advice would be great! has anybody ever messed around with Vinyl Dye ?? it seems as though that would work, but i cant find any around here. i have went to a couple of auto parts stores and they try to sell me vinyl paint telling me that it is vinyl dye.

thanks.

[snap7times]

Can the mods make a special thread or even a section on "how to dye" etc? My fiance wants to learn how to dye so badly but with the information here and there and here and there, can get a little frustrating...
And I was thinking, maybe during the tournament in May, 2010 at Camp Taloali, could set a time in the evening in the kitchen for a tutorial? Would the Dyers be interested in that?

[Trozzle!!!]

I plan to help you out with that tournament, as long as you want my help again :). If you get the ok from the camp, I will bring my supplies and give a demonstration of different phases involved in my dyeing process.

[Scott]

Can the mods make a special thread on "how to dye" etc?
Actually, anyone can start a thread. No moderation needed.

[snap7times]

I mean Link or sublink header... not a thread on the forum itself... searching the threads for various advice and methods will become more and more timely as our threads grow longer.
And yes Troz, I plan on getting all permissions from the camp for every possible reason known to man for all of us to enjoy a maxed out weekend.

[TYVEK]

[ChUcK]

orion, you don't need clear dish detergent. Any amount of RIT you put in the detergent will overpower any tint you find in the soap. If you still have qualms, get a yellow/amber detergent for as little color mixing as possible.

[jevon]

Seventh Generation dish soap is dye and fragrance free. It's what I use to mix with Neem oil to spray the garden for bugs.

[REDFIVE]

I have a dye request. Anybody in the puget sound area?

Cool!

[Trozzle!!!]

Ive always loved The Peanuts. I played Pig Pen in a 5th grade play, "you're A Good Man Charlie Brown". I just had to do a dye of them.

[gwillim]

That's pretty freakin' awesome, Troy!

[TYVEK]

that is a great one! how about one with snoopy as the red baron?

[Trozzle!!!]

The Red Baron one would be pretty simple to do. :biggrin2:

[Trozzle!!!]

Im glad people like this one, because my next one may offend some people. Although its gonna look sweet of course, some may not like it. I cant help it though, I get these ideas in my head and I just have to go with them. :biggrin2:

[Trozzle!!!]

My daughter told me she wants me to do a scooby doo one for her. So I am picturing a pic of the gang standing in front of the Mystery Machine :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

Lots and lots of colors!!!! Keep an eye out for that one in the future :yay:

[Trozzle!!!]

I am thinking something like this would make a good scooby doo dye. what o you think? Full color of course :)

(Is she coming for the chick flick?)

[Trozzle!!!]

She is 11 and oesnt play much. If the timing is right and she is willing to play, I will enter her, and of course caddy for her :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

dude, you seen my son, he plays 18 holes, whip that girl in shape in time for next year's worlds, push her to the limit... lol jk, let the kids choose their own hobbies but if they like disc golf then cool beans... those are some cool dyes... wish i threw dyes.. only have huklab's...

[ChUcK]

I think you need to take a Photoshop class. That program has a much more efficient cut and paste method. :biggrin2:

[Trozzle!!!]

I definitely need a photoshop class. Ive tried using it many times and cant figure out how it works. I do it old school. cut out 2 designs, lay one on the other, and make adjustments in my final drawing. :laughing::laughing:

[Brody Cannon]

With Ryan Gwillim's help I made my first dye today! It's on a 175 Champion TeeBird. Thanks for the help Ryan! Now that I have almost all the supplies, I will be busy dyeing discs from now on!

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh112/AceCannon64/DSCN6675.jpg

[TreeLove]

That is cool, and reminds me of a disc Trozzle dyed well for me, with 5 snowboarders in flight in a circle around the disc.

[Trozzle!!!]

You mean this one?

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/Troy_g/dye006.jpg

[Brody Cannon]

The next disc I'm going to dye will be a snowboarder. I might just do a ton of action sports silhouettes until I get creative enough to come up with my own designs.

[Trozzle!!!]

Dont worry Brody. You will get hooked and come up with many many ideas. Its like an addiction, :laughing::laughing::laughing:

[TYVEK]

great job for your first dye!! now that you know how to dye, you could probably dye that clear disc blue!

[Brody Cannon]

As for the Swivel Knife, they are sold at Columbia Art & Drafting Supply.

I'm not offended or anything but I just don't get it...

[Trozzle!!!]

Honestly I dont get it either. I know the "short bus" thing was the way the retarded or handicapped kids got to school, and its kind of a way to poke fun at them. I just added the "short bus disc golf" thing so I could add some element of disc golf into it. Its just an idea that came into my head, so I had to go for it.

[TYVEK]

Gwillim and Trozzle those are cool dyes. i dont think that there is anything offensive about your short bus disc. if you would have had bloody body parts hanging from the basket and the bus parked on top of a bunch of dead animals, then it might be it little offensive to some people. :cheers:

you should make the scooby doo disc with them all as zombies!! that would be super coool!

[ChUcK]

I'm working on a dye idea of my own. It's going to have text on it (which I hate to do, but y'know) that says "Drunken Idiot Disc Golf". I just can't figure out whose face I'm going to try and dye as the graphic...

This is with the lightbox, I love it, I don't think I'll be doing dyes without it anymore, takes less time and I can be way more precise.

Yeah, the fading sucks, but this is a custom order, so I'm not worried about it. The guy lives on the east coast or something, so after tomorrow, I'll never see the disc again.

Well, i rode the short bus all my life, never got on the big bus once.. it sucked axx but better the short bus than being the ignorant axxes who came up with the genius idea... however, the dye does make no sense. Unless you add something like "i ride the short bus to disc golf" meaning you suck really bad then it's cool...

Those links are great, but dont count on them completely to make you an expert dye artist. There is big chance that even following those that you could screw up a few dyes before you get it right. I know I screwed up quite a few, but look at what I am doing now!!! :trophy:

[Iowa]

yeah im hopin to start doin real dyes somtime within the month.

[TYVEK]

Hey Garrett,

those videos and Gwillims tutorial are some of the best instructions you can get. with that being said, since i live just south of you in olympia if you have any questions or want some in person tips and tricks just let me know. i am sure we could get together and play a round and go over some dye stuff.

looking forward to seeing some of you dyes!

[Garrett]

I completely expect to screw up a few before I actually get a good one. Like anything, it takes practice. In fact, I'll jack my both my boy's discs and start with thiers, so their discs will look like crap and by the time I get to mine, I'll have it down and mine will rock. ;-)

In fact, speaking of the boys.... * heads down stairs to kick their asses out of bed, cuz Pops really needs to play a round before the DT's kick in here *

[GettinBetter]

If you dye a disc with the stamp still on it, and then remove the stamp after you dye the disc will the stamp be sufficent enough to hold off the dye and leave the stamp imprint?

[CarlitosBonitos]

If you dye a disc with the stamp still on it, and then remove the stamp after you dye the disc will the stamp be sufficent enough to hold off the dye and leave the stamp imprint?

Yes, however the acetone will also smear your dye if it isnt 100% completly dry and cured. So be patient & careful!

How 'bout putting up more dyes (since I finally got DSL).

I know I should go back and review the whole thread (soon, I hope).

you should do a picture of the short bus and have all of their faces in the windows! they are all dead now, so i am sure they wont mind being on the short bus! maybe micheal jackson could be the driver.

Hahaha dont make me add something to the short bus dye and have to repost it.

Anyways...If I did, they would be going to disc golf heaven of course. (aka Milo McIver)

[JMan]

Milo is not heaven, rather it is in one of the nine rings of hell

[Trozzle!!!]

I guess Milo is just Earth. right between Heaven and Hell!!!!! mostly Hell the way I play it.

It has been a while since I last held an xacto, but I'm sure the fingers will remember how to do it after a few warm-up dyes.

That is awesome Chuck!

That's beautiful! Did you do the artwork as well?

[Ol' Bob]

I'd say he stole that one out of an old movie theater. Sweet, ain't it.

[Trozzle!!!]

Should be posting 3 dyes tomorrow. The Scooby disc should be done :) The June 2009 dead tribute disc will be done, and a Michael Jackson tribute disc. 1 is so so, the other 2 should knock your socks off :)

[CarlitosBonitos]

So I traded my new best friend for this Roc this afternoon, which I absolutly am falling in love with, and as all dyers know when you fall in love with a new disc you must dye it to complete that connection and further enforce your love for this disc. Anyways, I had envisioned it a little differently, but I left the stamp on with the hopes that one day the stamp will rub off and it will leave the stamp as a negative, kind of a new idea for me anyways, hope you enjoy, what a beautiful ROC! Thanks ERP

[Trozzle!!!]

AWESOME!!!!!! Man, that looks sooooooo good! the colors look sweet to me, but i am only looking at a picture. in my opinion this is your best disc so far! almost looks to perfect.

[ChUcK]

Here's Tim's new "GutterBalls" Striker. It was clear with a purple hotstamp, which was left on. As the hotstamp wears off the dyed outline will keep the disc from becoming anonymous. This one was actually designed by me, which is rare. I usually just burn icons from webpages.

[CarlitosBonitos]

Nice work Chuck and Trozz keeps nagin out of the park... it was cool running into Gwillim today at Greenway, the disc golf dyes are starting to take off again... Gwillim and I both agreed that we have been doing lots of dyes but they didnt feel special enough to post... anyways I think I will og back to posting them all as it has been fun seeing these dyes lately

[TYVEK]

Hey Chuck!

Nice work on that disc! Its good to see you being able to have some more Dye time. should we be expecting more from you soon???:whistler:
Pretty soon tim is going to have a bag full of super cool dyes. im jealous. now lets talk about those finger holes on the bowling balls..................:whistler:

[Ol' Bob]

Don't lose that out here, Tim. I would be tempted to not call on that one.

[snap7times]

tempted? I wouldn't even look on the underside before adding it to my bag... :drool: what i am tempted to do is mail my bag to chuck and have him dye every disc in it heh...

[Tim]

Don't lose that out here, Tim. I would be tempted to not call on that one.

Hehe, I figured you of all people could appreciate that one, Bob. I may bring it down there, but I can't promise I'll throw it...I know how greedy those ferns can be!

[Ol' Bob]

I better watch TBL one more time before the weekend.

[Trozzle!!!]

Here is a better pic of the Scooby disc.

It will be okay once you get the bugs worked out.

[bryan_luoma]

Ok. The dyed discs thread is one of my favorites, so, in hopes of seeing it take off here, I thought I'd start it. This is a disc that ChUcK dyed for me. I don't have it yet, but I am hoping it will be in the mail this week. It's the logo for my favorite Roller Derby team, The Heartless Heathers :drool:

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/cdhgufclk/P1014467.jpg

Oh, and he dyed it on a Champion Monarch. Can't wait to see it!!!

well done!

[Tad]

Didn't have materials to dye so I went at a couple discs with a Sharpie®.

For wooded holes (Star Valk). Carbide tipped of course:

Nice work again Gabe. :biggrin2:

Now stay over there in the other Portland!!! We dont need too many great artists over here in the real Portland. Might take away some of my business, :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Any chance you could put this on a disc:
http://wnw.blogwarhammer.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/facepalm-500x328.jpg

I would like to give it to someone who needs it... :D

[zippyboy]

Why don't you have him dye a dead horse on a disc, too? :nahnah:

[zippyboy]

ChUcK, did you find a copy of the Rose City Rollers logo for that Buzzz? Just curious.

[Sam]

Why don't you have him dye a dead horse on a disc, too? :nahnah:

Cool... then I'd have a present for you, too! :D

I did indeed, but none of them were very large. do you have any wallpaper size ones?

Really crappy foto, I'll take a better one tomorrow. This disc will be for sale, but I haven't decided on a price yet. This is one of the most detailed pieces I've done, took me forever.
