Latest Dye...

I have a pretty dark fucked up sense of humor.

My latest disc dye started out with me reading one of my old copies of  Bloom County. Bill the Cat then became my next design. I then decided to push the bounds of good taste by naming it "Bad Pussy".

It only took me a few hours to cut out and I put it on my Champion Super Stingray.

This turned out to be one of my best dyes yet. Only one small bleed which is incredible considering all the intricate cuts I had to make. I finished this one just in time for the Bayville Bash this weekend in Virginia Beach.

It's Getting Addictive...

I have only been dyeing discs a short time. As of today I think I've done about 7 discs including my 2 latest dyes. These will probably be the last two for a while. I'm having a blast doing this but if I'm not careful I'll be dying every bit of plastic I have.

I went with a movie theme on my latest discs. The first one was on my 150 Champion Mamba of Jules Winnfield from "Pulp Fiction"...

 
What sucked about this one was after I cut out the mask and was applying it to the disc the mask ripped by the text and I had to trash it and start it all over again. It took me about 4 hours to cut out this one and I had to do it all over again.

My 166 Champion Mamba I dyed with FBI Agent Pual Smecker from "Boondock Saints".

This one took me about 5 hours to cut out. Even though there are a few bleed outs where the dye went where it wasn't supposed to I'm very happy with how they turned out.

A New Disc Golf Hobby

I was inspired by some of the guys on DGCR that do some amazing disc dyes.

If you haven't heard of this. You cut out a mask with adhesive vinyl and apply it to the disc. Then you heat up some poly dye and float the disc in the dye. Every where there is an opening in the mask the dye stains the disc's plastic.

Step 1 was to cut out the mask. I did this at work on the old light table we used to edit negatives on. It worked great. Some designs were easy and only took about an hour.

Once I removed the cut outs and worked out all the air bubbles I tried my first dye....

My first attempt was my Eddie design that took about 3 hours to cut out. I dyed my 150 Champion Leopard.

The next one was my 150 Star Sidewinder....

I finished up with my Star Dart putter with a little reminder to hit the chains.


For first tries they turned out all right. There are some amazing multi-colored dyes out there. The only limit is your imagination.
