This is a spectacular tutorial. I cannot believe that Blood Feather Dyes took the time to share this with us. My proverbial hat is tipped in your direction Bobby.
Dude you are the best in class. I don't know how you don't have more viewers and subscribers. Can't wait to watch more of this positively. I am just getting into disc dyeing.
Really appreciate that Andrew! Jayson did most of the heavy lifting on this one, glad to hear you're picking up what we're putting down either way. Don't be afraid to reach out if you have questions as you start on you disc dyeing journey, always happy to help out where we can. Enjoy the binge bud!
I tried this technique with the qtip....no go !!! Thanks Jason for showing me the way...just got a new Watt totally grey....what to do??? I found this on Bobby's channel and wow....I am inspired...just put 30 mins or less into making the grey disc ready for some character with a little black line action.....the glue is drying and i can see my patterns...i tried the spider web center but did not go the way I tried....it's actually cool....looks like a caterpillar spiral !
That's awesome, you're in the right place then Opal. There are a few different options for dyes that come in powder form or premixed. He's mostly using Pro Chemical & Dye mixed with acetone here. We have a video breaking down all of the dyes and dye mixes here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sf5174Z9ahE.html if you want to check it out.
That was awesome been wondering how people been do those designs I've learned a lot but did my first stincel today steal your face now you show me this stuff o boy here we go again
All good, sorry for being a little late on the response too. He's using dye (not paint), specifically poly dyes that will penetrate the plastic. iDye Poly, Spike-It Worm Dip, and Pro Chemical & Dye are probably the most popular.
So I have some experience in these types of dyes. However, where I struggle is getting the dye to hit all spots between the glue. I use a q-tip but it seems I get a more spotty result. Any advice? Love the work you do!
Hey now John! Best advice I have is pretty straight forward, more coats with more dye in the q-tip. For what it's worth, I've found that all q-tips aren't equal. Might try experimenting with different brands and shapes as well. Good luck bud!
No dumb questions around here T-Rex. I use an old Technics turntable I tinkered back into a second life. If you're looking for a new one, a direct drive motor (vs belt driven) works better for our purposes. Best places I've found to dig one up have been Craigslist or FB Marketplace. Hope that helps bud!
Just a soapy cold water rinse to get any residual dye that might still be on the surface off. Otherwise, it's part of the plastic as soon as you're done and set to jet.
In this one he's primarily using ProChemical & Dye mixed with some acetone, but really any of the other Poly Dyes (like iDye Poly or Worm Dip) will work as well.
The dye is good to go right away after it's applied. You can always give it a soapy cold water rinsing right after applying it to wash any residual off the surface, but that's not what's happening here. What's drying overnight with that first layer is the glue. Then the next day, after applying more dye over the dried glue mask the glue is all rinsed right off. Hope that helps clear it up. Don't be afraid to shoot me a DM if you still have questions.
He says that he washes the dried glue off the disc . . . is that a water thing? is he peeling dried glue. What is best method for removing dried glue from disc?
