While that is a sick ass dye, I cannot support you turning an awesome disc into a Pittsburgh Steelers disc.

Thank you Mr. Stengele ~ I made a DGCR Travel Tag swap down in SoCal recently ~ let's meet up and make another swap (maybe get Cinque in on this one, then you could get #5 back again)

What are people here using in lieu of the rit dye new formula no longer taking to a disc?

I had to go looking for information about this problem elsewhere and am surprised it isn't talked about more here as far as I can tell. So here is what I learned.

I went looking for either older boxes of powdered rit (supposedly if the serial #/date is earlier than 2011 it will work) or the liquid (non "ND") at Michaels but they had neither. I bought 1 box of the newer powdered Rit that they did have as well as another brand of fabric dye they had (can't remember the brand name) and tested them both on champion glow plastic - they both failed.

I had also read that apparently I could mix in ETOH with the newer Rit? but didn't want to go there if I could help it.

I had also heard about iDye poly dissolvable fabric dye so I went looking for that and found some at Columbia Art Supply on NE Burnside / 15th - they had a limited selection (it comes in many more colors, but fortunately had what I needed -black and red) for 3.59 each. I have since found 1 post earlier in this thread circa 2009 where someone indicated that this did not work for them. However iDye worked great for me (again it was champion glow and I think there is a difference between "iDye poly" and "iDye for natural fibers"). Also I did not try the separate packet of "color intensifier" that comes with each and which package says is for polyester. Maybe that would have produced an even brighter red but not what I was looking for.

You have to use the poly, but no need for the intensifier, it only leaves a weird, gummy residue. iDye definitely results in brighter colors, just be careful when you rinse the disc because if your water is too hot, it can make the dye run.

I just thought I would put out some of that info here since I was surprised that I was not seeing more talk on this forum from the local hardcores as to how they were dealing with their Rit withdrawal symptoms.

In summary:
-new powdered Rit = bad
-other brand at Michaels (Tulip?) = bad
-liquid Rit of the non ND variety supposedly works, not available at local Michaels
-iDye poly = great, available locally in Portland; optional color intensifier = not necessary, probably even bad. Thanks Kris.

One other lesson I learned that is old hat for most everyone here I bet: removed any vinyl residue in between application of color layers. Some of that gunk that I did not see kept the 2nd and 3rd colors from setting perfectly. Very minor problem in my case, but noticeable for sure.
