That may be one of the most thorough explanations about dying I've seen yet. Thank you so much for going through all the work it took to put this out. Really enjoyed it.....clearly....I just sat here mesmerized through a 40 minute clip.
no name You covered so many things as well as multiple disc projects, I think you explained a lot in the time you had from good things to disappointments. Anyone who's serious about learning this will take the time to watch. Excellent video in my opinion.
Thanks for this video. I was working on trying to learn my Cricut, and got to give my husband a new fun disc in the process. This surely won't be the last time I do this! I appreciate your clear instructions.
Mad skillz sir! I just started experimenting with different techniques for dying discs a few months ago. This is the best how to video I've seen on how to dye discs. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much this was such an educational video. I love how you really took your time in this video and explained a lot of things in depth so we understood why better! I watched this after already doing my first set of dyes im bout to take them out in a few hours, this will be my next method to try no doubt
I used to lay vinyl stickers for a living. Using a credit card to lay your decal helps you not have bubbles. If you do have a bubble poke it with exacto and press the air out with the card
Amazing tutorial! I've watch it through three times now. Lit a fire under me to finally try dyeing myself, even made a little video of my effortss too. Credited your teachings and linked to your video here, thanks again!
Such an explanation of the process and very easy to listen too. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I also have a massive craving for chicken wings from that parchment paper box after staring at it for so long.
Awesome video. Thanks for the information. I wonder is wall or exterior adhesive vinyl would be better for preventing bleeding. My wife and I have a shirt business side hustle and have the stuff on hand. I might have to try it out. Thank you for the great video.
The best dye tutorial I've seen yet. Awesome job. Just a quick question: if you have troubles with clumping, have you ever tried the top to a salt or pepper shaker to break it up? I mean you put the powder on like seasoning anyways 😂
Fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing! Is there a reason you use the contact paper rather than just using a bigger piece of vinyl that goes all the way to the edge?
Thank you so much I’ll be trying out my first dyes soon using the method with the pilot. Once you waited the hour or longer how did you get the paint off just rinsing with water?
Love your designs! What type of vinyl do you use? I have a Cricut and was curious if the Cricut brand vinyl is good enough for it or do you use Oracal651?
Thank you for giving clear explanation in this video, it was extremely helpful! I just tried the stencil dye on a practice disc with just the black colored dye only (no other colors mixed in) and the dye took but it was extremely light. I let it sit for about 2 hours. What have you found to help get the colors to be darker or dye better on the disc? I was planning on trying waiting longer, adding more black colored dye to the mix, or heating it like you said. There is a color intensifier that comes with the dye, do you use these packets as well?
Which dye/brand did you use? I use idye poly (same from this video) and it works perfect. I've tried other dyes and they came out very light at best. I always let the discs sit for 6-8 hours as well. Hope this helps!
@@ianandrew3973 I use idye poly as well but didn’t let it sit 6-8 hours. I just tried my second attempt with more dye and will let it go 8 hours, hopefully it comes out darker this time (and I did it on a lighter colored disc this time)
I assume there are other options but people who don't want buy paper plates all the time... I picked up some stainless steel electric stove covers. The small size is useless but the big one work well for dying and you can just wash it off.
Where do you buy your material? The Idye i have figured out but where do you get the stickers and the plastic film from? I know you do your own stickers but you have to buy the stickers material and then you cut it on your own, so what is that sticker material?
Do you have a video for the vinyl part of this? I want use my own original art and fan art, so if I could find out how to make the stickers then that would be so amazing!
If you want to do it by hand, you can buy Vinyl sheets, then you need a light box( or similar. I had a glass table I put a lamp under it), cut out the image with a xacto knife, use transfer tape (or masking tape to hold the image together), peel the sticky side and put on the disc. Here's a video someone else made... th-cam.com/video/LUB0Rrqx_2A/w-d-xo.html Your other option to find someone or pay someone with a vinyl plotter (sign shop usually have that stuff, i've seen people in disc golf forums offer service as well) that can digital transfer and cut out images.
yeah man really good video. one critique though, it would help your dude if you put a list of supplies in the description. should do more though dude...I think you just hit the tip of the ice burg. what would you say the best vinyl for this is though? I want to do something with great detail...kind of don't want to give the idea away. yet it's just so cool. I'm gonna do hail oderus...prob on a dd2, boss or katana. I was thinking like a purple die on top of the clear pink blizzard. most yall dude's prob aint into gwar any ways lol. p.s. I get power throwers turn em over but if you got that perfect form flick like your dude does...blizzard really launches. yeah meant more for old people and kids...but 140 or lower this thing even floats and not just across the field. that's the secret though the lower weight. if your having problem with distance...but got form down. id give it a try.
really though I've seen vibram about the same weight too. so just lower weights in general. yet cant get a katana or boss in vibram. cool discs though.
also you know its good to have variety for them noobs reading thinking they should fill out the bag. I'm rocking star, champion, blizzard...got drivers, multi purpose, putters. even had a fairway...du know what happened maybe lost or givin away. I always play from best of 2 any way, so id do a light one and a heavy one. sometimes you need something to cut through the wind, sometimes you want to be carried by it. shhhiiiiiiiii I use a rock for trick shots and putting...distance drivers too, but aren't we all putting from the T. lol
I know I’m super late to this video but I would love to know where you get those vinyl sticker stencil thingys. I would love to do my own stencil dyes but I don’t know where to get the stencils
26:30 Sorry, but this is really funny as I had a similar problem frosting a cake until I found the *offset spatula,* an invaluable tool that does minutes of work in seconds...
How would I go about getting the sticker made? I would like to use my own logo that I have but I am not artistic in any way really so I don't really know how to go about it
This was awesome, thanks so much for the in depth tutorial! 2 questions, first is do you sell discs? Second, where do you get the vinyl sticker cutout?
Richard Clarke I made them on a Cricket. That's would be a whole other video to explain how to use a cricket. There are plenty out there to watch honestly.
Some manufactures sell blanks. Otherwise you need wipe the stamp with Acetone. Though the impression from the hot stamp will always be ghosted on the discs.
I’m really late to this video but what should I do if I don’t have a place to make vinyl stickers. Should I just use normal paper and somehow stick it on there?
Let's say I have a dark, forest green disc and I want to die a graphic onto it using the Chartreuse color. Will it actually change the color from dark to vibrant Chartreuse?
i have a question... i have a black pro disc already took the logo off. am i able to put just shaving cream on my black disc and the pigment white of the cream stay on the disc? thank you!
It depends on the type of dye you use and the type of plastic your disc is! I had the same issue when I started. If you Google 'disc dyeing wiki' you'll find a super helpful page from reddit with basically everything you need to know about dyes and plastics!
Britt Markum so first I would try a bleach foaming spray, if that doesn't work try vinegar and baking soda, and the cure-all is to actually scrub it with 100% acetone and baking soda. That will dang near clean anything
That may be one of the most thorough explanations about dying I've seen yet. Thank you so much for going through all the work it took to put this out. Really enjoyed it.....clearly....I just sat here mesmerized through a 40 minute clip.

What if I don't have vinyl? Can I just use lets just say a piece of paper?
This is where is started...

Dude that was freakin awesome. I'm going to try doing this one day and you made it so easy to understand. Thank you so much and keep up the hard work.
This is awesome! Thanks for teaching. I’m excited to dye!

I used to lay vinyl stickers for a living. Using a credit card to lay your decal helps you not have bubbles. If you do have a bubble poke it with exacto and press the air out with the card
yeah but ink can bleed thru, when i do that i patch the hole with glue but i try not to do that
These are some amazing designs!!!

Is this what started it all? :O
@@DiscGolfCoursePreview you sniffed it out...well done!
@@DiscGolfCoursePreview Great Work, Gumshoe!!! The TDIDI origin story marks a particular chapter starting right....here!!
I have no desire to dye any discs myself but this video was very interesting and entertaining non the less!!!

This is amazing! Regarding the air bubbles in the shaving cream, I wonder if putting it in a vacuum bucket/chamber would help? Just an idea.
Hey i love the video and was wondering what type of idye poly do you use
Nice work!
Gonna give it a go!
Love your designs! What type of vinyl do you use? I have a Cricut and was curious if the Cricut brand vinyl is good enough for it or do you use Oracal651?
awesome video TYVM
Hey man, great video. I have a question. I want to put red letters on a green section. Do you know if I should put the green down first or the red?
Great tutorial!
Great video thank you 🙏
Could you tell me what those different discs are? Like what models/molds?
Do you do discs for anyone else? I would love to get some done and pay for them
I have access to a nice cricut. Consider me inspired! Awesome video!!
RumpleGeist ty sir. Hope it helped
Does the circuit make it easy ? i'm considering getting one?
First subscriber!
Were do you get your custom stickers?
Hey Chris this is awesome, do you still dye disks for customers? i would love to have a dye look like yours
I don't. I would visit Reddit discdyeing. There are several people there better than myself that do it for a little $$

Does it have to be synthetic dye? Or would say rit all purpose work?
Dang dude, this was awesome! Do you sell any custom stamped discs, or take commissions?

Can you remove stamps that come on the disc or do you have to get stampless discs
I know I’m super late to this video but I would love to know where you get those vinyl sticker stencil thingys. I would love to do my own stencil dyes but I don’t know where to get the stencils
Indeed
What kind of dye do you use
What type of disc is that green with black rim disc called
Where do you buy the stencil vinyl paper?
How do you make your stencil sticker?
What if I don't have vinyl? Can I just use paper?
No name. Do you have an Instagram and do you sell your work or make custom discs?
What size images work best?
Is this method the same if I just had a picture that I printed instead of a sticker?
Where do u get the stencils
Where do you buy the powder?
How do you clean the original designs off the discs to begin with? Will acetone work for that too?
juniart yeah that was my comment about 1 min in. Acetone works better than anything else
Where does one get sticker stencils?
26:30 Sorry, but this is really funny as I had a similar problem frosting a cake until I found the *offset spatula,* an invaluable tool that does minutes of work in seconds...
Is that some Kind of special powder paint? Do you maybe have an amazon link ?!
Florian Henneke iDye Poly
Who/where do you go to get stencils professionally done? Really wanting to do that.
I'm sure any local shirt maker, vinyl seller, or Facebook mom can make one but I do all of mine with a Cricket vinyl cutter
Where do you get your viynls from ?
Local sign shop, friend with a vinyl cutter, or your vinyl cutter.
if i use spike it fishing lure dye, can i just paint it straight on and let it sit or do i have to use shaving cream?
That dye is like water I have attempted to paint a disc with it before .....my best efforts with it where making drop designs with an eye dropper
How would I go about getting the sticker made? I would like to use my own logo that I have but I am not artistic in any way really so I don't really know how to go about it
You could probably reach out to a local vinyl or t shirt shop and they can make it for you for a small price
This was awesome, thanks so much for the in depth tutorial! 2 questions, first is do you sell discs? Second, where do you get the vinyl sticker cutout?
I do not sell any. And I normally get the sheets from a vinyl shop and make my own on a cricket machine.
Maybe I missed it at the beginning, but do you make your own vinyl stickers or order them?
I cut them on a cricket machine
can someone help me with what material he used for the stickers? iam no english nativ didnt really get it 😅
Good video.. but why not just tell us where you buy/get these vinyl stickers at???????
Jeff Heyer I made them myself on the cricket
Ok I've done the Acetone and it ruined the vinyl stencil, did this happen at all to anyone
20:27 - *Toto starts playing*
Lol hope the rain will mess up the dye setting in
he even included madagascar :D
The Zeppelin one looks awesome :)
Where do you get the stickers you used? If you made them, how do you make them?
Richard Clarke I made them on a Cricket. That's would be a whole other video to explain how to use a cricket. There are plenty out there to watch honestly.
Okay I will check it out. THANKS!
It’s time to make a Starfield Disc my friend, that’s exactly what I’m doing 😎
How do you get the original print off the disc or am I missing something?
Some manufactures sell blanks. Otherwise you need wipe the stamp with Acetone. Though the impression from the hot stamp will always be ghosted on the discs.
I’m really late to this video but what should I do if I don’t have a place to make vinyl stickers. Should I just use normal paper and somehow stick it on there?
You can buy contact paper or vinyl sheets at any craft store or Walmart then cut the design our with and exactoknife.
@@chrisl9963 thank you!
Does this method work on star plastics? I used acetone on a star plastic to clean it and all it did was smear the sharpie
libertybong420 you have to be pretty generous with the acetone. And yeah I have some star plastic discs that dyed nicely
no name ok thanks
Where do you get the vinyls and the designs for the vinyls?
Steven Thompsen I just pull images off the internet and edit it through Crickets software.
Aha gotcha thanks for replying especial so quick
Let's say I have a dark, forest green disc and I want to die a graphic onto it using the Chartreuse color. Will it actually change the color from dark to vibrant Chartreuse?
Probably not but may lighten it a bit. I'd heat the plastic up with boiling water, dry it quickly, use the worm dye
I wonder if bleaching first with the mask on, then dying it with the Chartreuse would work?@@chrisl9963
Has a logo of a cactus and a green disc.. Puts it on the yellow disc. TRIGGERED :D
Still have it!
Can you make me a pip boy disc?
all i need to know now is how to get or make a sticker :O
i have a question...
i have a black pro disc already took the logo off. am i able to put just shaving cream on my black disc and the pigment white of the cream stay on the disc? thank you!
Austin Bynum negative ghost rider
i cant get any of my discs to hold a dye... not sure what im doing wrong i left it set for about 8 hours and its like i never dyed it at all

IDye Poly. Search that on amazon
How the hell do i make my shaving cream paint stick
Dyed my fist disc last week, fiance was upset because my powder got on the bathroom sink.
Britt Markum so first I would try a bleach foaming spray, if that doesn't work try vinegar and baking soda, and the cure-all is to actually scrub it with 100% acetone and baking soda. That will dang near clean anything
