dyed disc techniques

[Turtle]

I know there is a dyed disc post - and scattered throughout are mentions of how-to... but I'm curious seeing all the techniques/recipes in one place.

So the first parts are a given;
1) acetone stamp off
2) vinyl stencil

But the dye itself is where the differences start.

Most common:
Hot water with RIT, floating disc

2 part RIT liquid dye 1 part alcohol (or acetone)

What other ink recipes are there? I've heard some paint it on, making the dye thicker - what do you use to thicken?

I make my paint on mixtures thicker by simply just not adding much water. Makes a nice paste to paint on

So are you just mixing powder and and water?

just powder and water. Never got into adding acetone or anything like that. Tried a couple times, wasnt impressed.
