Candle wax dye with a little alcohol and vinegar for good luck
it only takes about 10 drops so probably about 10/1 ratio .

it's an oil based dye so when it's time to peel the stencil after letting it sit for a few minutes or hours preferrably . takes a couple of wipes to get the excess off . plus it bled through the edge of the contact laminate a little vs. the rit. haven't checked the bleed factor with vinyl yet .

anyway try it out . good luck .
Cool! Any idea how well this dye holds/how quickly it fades? Can you find candle wax dye as readily as Rit, or is there some sort of specialty store that sells the stuff?

First ever dye job. Some issues with bleeding all over, most of it came when I was pulling out the disc the last time I dipped it a bit to far But overall I'm pretty happy with it being my first and all. I deffo learned alot about applying the contact paper properly. Such as use transfer tape if you cut off the disc >_<

A "thanks boss!" for sponsoring me for the Farragut Open. The green texas state is better in person.
