I forgot to add this in the video but DEFINITELY make sure to thoroughly clean your disc first. I will eventually make a video on hear showing how, but essentially the best way is dawn dish soap and a magic eraser. Be careful scrubbing too hard around stamps to avoid any damage
Lotions on a glue bed? What a game changer. I’m stoked. Great content.
Thanks! Came up with the idea on a whim and it led to a great new way of dyeing
I've been messing with dying discs for a little while now, and came across your videos just after doing my first lotion dye. Lessons learned for sure. I am going to pick up some clear glue and some floetrol (if I can find it) before doing my next dye. Instead of glue, I used a "blank" bed of lotion and though the dye took well and the disc does not look bad, I do think the glue would be a much better "medium". I also, like a goofball, did not wash my disc! It was brand new so I completely forgot to do so. My dye-to-lotion ratio was also weak. Super glad to come across your videos, definitely subscribed, you're a huge help and I appreciate you not gatekeeping your techniques! There's so many ways to approach dying discs and I feel like it can be difficult to get good instructions on your own. Thank you for the videos!
I know I've gotten floetrol from Amazon or my home Depot, but of luck my guy!
Gary here (Happy Little Accidents). This is awesome!
Hell yeah! Thanks Gary. Keep up the good stuff yourself
Was white dye used?
Thank you for this cool tutorial.
My pleasure! I plan on doing many more
I tried this last night....left the disc for 24 hours and it turned out pretty good for a first try, the only issue i had was that some bubbles showed up. I think that since the lotion is in 'lines' and not smooth there are valleys which catch bubbles. i've got to figure out how to eliminate those.
If you're getting those "valleys" that is typically caused by the lotion lines being too thick in consistency. getting the right consistency for these beds is a little tricky and might take a few tries to really nail it down. But once you do, you got it made in the shade
Would this still work with a lotion bed?
Do you do any heating under a lamp?
Is this clear Elmer's glue?
Would this also work in a lotion bed?
Couple quick questions if im using white glue can i add water or acetone to make a lil thinner. I premixed some of my dyes in acetone can i use skme of that in my lotion to thin it some. Oh sorry for the questions but ive done just clear glue and dye mixed woth acetone so do i need the flotrol and whats its purpose. Thanks a ton for rhe videos keep em up buddy
For white glue you can absolutely thin it out with water. That is actually what I used to do before I switched to clear glue. I would avoid acetone for thinning glue. As for the lotion dyes tho, you can absolutely use your acetone/dye mixture to dye the lotion. For my pink/Green/black colors I frequently use worm dip to boost my colors.
Have you ever tried white glue?
So I actually started this design out using white glue back in the day, but ended up switching to clear glue. I made the switch because I kept getting gallons of glue that were too thick/thin to make a good wave on. I found that clear glue, while more expensive, was better for a solid consistency across brands and batches of glue
Is 10 hours really enough time? Without heat i feel my gluebeds usually needs at least 24 hours.
I can only speak for my particular lotion dyes. From what I have seen, 8-10 hours without heat is where I usually stop, so for the tutorial I wanted the time to reflect the results you see on my video/instagram page. You can definitely let it set for longer and get slightly more saturation
@@dyesbyredd Yeah you get great colours. Maybe I'll start with 12 hours and see how it turns out.
Have you tried this with a heat lamp? Would that work, speed up the process?
I personally have not tried but I think there are others that do this method with heat. I think it could definitely cut down the sit time. For my personal preference tho, I like dyeing in the evening, having a batch sit for 8ish hours, wake up, and pulling all the dyes. If you give it a shot let me know how it works! I feel like the general room of thumb is not letting the temp get above 110 degrees. My guess would be around 105 for 2-3 hours
How do you avoid those fine lines getting muddied up with all those colors? Every time I've tried to use lotion on glue I get really bad smears in the middle of the disc when I roll the disc in even when I have all the glue covered.
This can sometimes happen due to the lotion mixture not being mixed properly. I've found that if it isn't mixed thoroughly, or if the consistency is too thick, it can lead to bleeds. There are also colors of prochemical dye that I have found are prone to bleeding. If you hit me up on Instagram @dyesbyredd I can maybe help you further! Feel free to send me a DM on there
Ayyoo redd! Loved this method. How should I go about reducing air bubbles? Would a torch still work?
Yep! I occasionally will get beds with a lot of bubbles and a quick torch usually does the trick
Right on! And if bubbles appear from the dye when I put it in what should I do about those? Same thing?
Dumb question but is the lotion necessary or would this work with normal floetrol + dye mixes?
Floetrol mixes will work but usually end up with lines that are not as clean as the lotion mixture
How effective do you think this method would be on a clear disc? Just picked up a crystal flx get freaky zone and it’s completely transparent. Currently afraid to throw it because my home course tends to eat a lot of discs and I need to do something to make it stand out a bit more haha
If you go to my Instagram I have examples of what that looks like! You may have to scroll down a little, but I have done plenty of transparent discs and this method looks great on them.
How much glue did you use to make the bed?
For a my beds using an ultimate frisbee disc I use 300ml glue
@@dyesbyredd ok cool thanks! I gave it a try yesterday and it came out ok but I’d have to work on getting better waves putting the dye into the bed.
@@Whitsel good luck! Feel free to hit me up on here on Instagram if you need anything
@@dyesbyredd ok cool will do thanks!
