How To Dye A Disc Golf Disc | Easy Tutorial 

This is actually a phenomenal tip, I couldn’t figure out why that was happening. Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you!

You should! I have a few subscribers who are sending me discs to dye for them, so I could dye some for you as well!

@@CatchingChains Oh no way? Yeah I would totally take you up on that!

Are you flirting with the host of this channel?

@@samkalter4520 yes

Thanks!

Shaving cream is more difficult to control the outcome in my opinion, but I have not yet tried cocoa butter lotion.

It leaves a thin layer that I can scrape off, and it washes off easily and completely with hot soapy water. Once you wash it off, all the glue is completely gone, leaving you with just the dyed disc.

I just did my first one and the glue wiped clean off and feels like it was never touched. Discmania s line dd3

Yes, a lighter would also work great to get bubbles out. I will try that next time, thanks for the tip. Additionally, pouring the glue bed and just waiting for about 6 hours causes the bubbles to rise to the surface.

​ @CatchingChains Torch is definitely the way to go, a regular lighter doesn't really work and you risk burning the glue itself. It's not just the heat that pops the bubbles but the force of the air and flame hitting them as well, just make sure to wait a few minutes after getting your design down so the acetone fumes can dissipate otherwise you're gonna have a real bad time once you light the torch lmao

@JigglyBlubber I am adding a mini torch to my Amazon cart! Thank you, I can’t imagine the terrible time I would have if I lit that concoction up 😂

Yes, that’s exactly what I do. If you let it dry, it will get crusty and you can throw it away. Otherwise if you don’t want to wait for it to dry out, I bag it up in 2 plastic bags and put it in the trash. Never had a problem with mess or leaking! The only glue/dye that goes in the sink is the little bit thats still on the disc after I scrape a bit of it off.

That’s a really good question. I still haven’t figured it out perfectly, but the unspecific ratio that I think works the best is about 3:1 dye mixture to acetone. I’m this video, I was probably doing 4:1 or 5:1, but as you can see that still works pretty well. I have started adding more a little more acetone to my dyes since.

Are you using premium plastic discs? Maybe try using less glue, so that there is a thinner layer. Are you washing off your discs before you dye? Are you shaking your mixture before you use it? Make sure to add about 4 parts RIT dye to one part acetone in your mixture. You also may need to use more dye in the glue bed. I’m not sure exactly where you’re going wrong, let me know if it could be one of the things I mentioned. Try 48 hours instead of 24. Is absolutely 0 dye sticking to the disc??

This will not affect the weight of the disc. It simply changes the color of the plastic, and it will still be considered PDGA legal (813.01 3B) for competitive play.

@@CatchingChains thank you 😊

No, the changes are purely cosmetic, flight/weight/etc. is unaffected

About 3:1 RIT to Acetone is what I use

Yes, according to PDGA Rule 813.01 Section B3, you can legally throw a dyed disc in competition!

I am thinking about trying it in an upcoming video. It could be epic or could be terrible, but I’ll test it for you!

@@CatchingChains I use Dharma dyes to dye fabrics and there ain't nothing like them

Please do!

Tight lines on the water, and in the glue bed.
