Beautiful Blue Underworld Glue Bed Dye!

Another time lapse video of my glue bed dye! Check out my posts on reddit r/discdyeing u/NowskiDyes

Very nice!

[@ThorHargrave]

I don't usually prefer dark discs but that turned out beautiful.

[@nowskidyes2740]

Thank you. I don’t either but I wanted to try something more neutral colored that will also make that stamp pop. I love it

[@thiccbizkitz6095]

Great video. Thanks. You answered a couple of questions I've had. I just got an old turntable for spins. I never thought of centering the disc on the platter. 👍👍

[@nowskidyes2740]

Enjoy it man! Turntables are so nice for outing that final touch on a disc

[@Discgolf559]

Bad ass

[@nicholascraig3039]

When adding the spin with PROchem or Quick coat how long do you let that dry before you wash??

[@MrKnuts23]

Awesome video! I have a white underworld and want to do something similar. Curious about the stamp. Did you somehow get the stamp gold first, or did it just come out like that? I would love to make the stamp a different color like that if I could

[@nowskidyes2740]

The stamp was gold when I bought it. The dyes wont normally effect the stamp. So you wont need to do anything special to the stamp before dropping it into the glue bed. The only thing you need to do is make sure all the acetone on the glue bed evaporates before you drop the disc in.

[@MrKnuts23]

@@nowskidyes2740 Awesome! Thanks for the quick response. That’s helpful to know. I haven’t done a clear glue bed, but I’m going to with this disc. This might be a stupid question, but how do I tell if all the acetone has evaporated?

[@nowskidyes2740]

@@MrKnuts23 eh. It evaporates pretty quickly. By the time I’m done manipulating the dye it’s gone. 5 min should be more then enough I say from last drop.

[@rippinlines342]

So fresh do you sell them ?

[@ragejage3830]

How many uses can you typically get out of a bed? I've heard you can re-use it after doing one dye, but is it multiple more time? Does it "degrade"/lend to worse results with each subsequent use? Appreciate any info you can share; results look great. Currently have my first try soaking.

[@nowskidyes2740]

Yes you can reuse it if you stick with relatively the same colors you did before. Most of the dye will lift off with the disc though. The one big issue is that I will get a lot of little tiny bubbles in the glue bed after lift off. It’s a nuisance trying to get rid of them all, but I could probably lift it out of the bed in another way to help prevent this. Also the glue is a little thicker so the design will come out different, but that’s not a bad thing if you find a way to work with it.

[@ottoivarsson5651]

How long do you leave it in the glue bed, and can I use white glue?

[@nowskidyes2740]

I give it around 20-24 hours resting in the glue bed. Champion plastic could go 48 hours I haven’t tried white glue, so I don’t know what kind of cool effect it will have on it. People use white glue all the time, but it’s still on my bucket list.

[@brandonkilby5093]

What is the exact dye type used, i d like to get some

[@nowskidyes2740]

Here it is. Prochem is the best you can get I think. prochemicalanddye.net/prosperse-disperse-dyes.html

[@brandonfairbanks376]

Have you noticed any major differences between using white glue and clear glue? My preference is white for the sake of visibility

[@nowskidyes2740]

I’ve only used clear glue. The way I understand it is lotion bed has the softest result, white glue in the middle, then clear glue on the opposite being very crisp with its outcome.

[@brandonfairbanks376]

@@nowskidyes2740 interesting. I haven't had any issues getting crisp lines with the white glue.

[@nowskidyes2740]

@@brandonfairbanks376 well I’m gonna have to do a white glue bed disc dye now and see how different it is.

[@brandonfairbanks376]

@@nowskidyes2740 haha same for me and clear. Only reason I havent yet is because the gallon of clear at walmart is 2x the price of the white

[@satisphaction]

Do you mean 1/4 teaspoon or 1/4 Tablespoon?

[@nowskidyes2740]

Tablespoon

[@brandonbeckyharn5865]

Where did you get that plastic container mold?

[@mattspencer3201]

It looks like a regular frisbee, try the dollar store!

[@nowskidyes2740]

Yup. That’s what it is. Now I use cake pans actually. It helps save on glue as well

[@nckd1244]

How are you not getting specking in your dye with shaking the mixture up like that?

[@nowskidyes2740]

You talking about me shaking the dye mixture before dropping it? I try to suction the dye off the top to not get any chunks of dye. Sometimes I do but works for their style I think. I’m still figuring it all out

[@nckd1244]

@@nowskidyes2740 I try to get it off the top but still seem to have the speckling. Great work

[@nowskidyes2740]

@@nckd1244 I noticed specking on some of my dyes actually. When my acetone mixture is running low is when I got it the most with my blacks and darker colors.

[@nckd1244]

@@nowskidyes2740 yeah it seems to be more on my black than anything. Well it looks great !

[@glenmccoon2347]

I tried this with clear glue and the glue stuck to my disc. Ruined the disc. Perhaps I used the incorrect type of glue. Advice?

[@nowskidyes2740]

The glue is water soluble so it will just wash off in the sink. If the disc is ruined it’s something else. Explain how it’s ruined.

[@glenmccoon2347]

@@nowskidyes2740 its not water soluble glue. I’ll buy some and try again. The other glue wouldn’t come off the disc even with acetone, goo gone, etc... no biggie, I have plenty of discs to try on. Thx

[@nowskidyes2740]

Got ya. Yeah it needs to be regular clear school glue like elmers. Here’s a tutorial you can follow. This is what I’m following. reddit.com/r/discdyeing/comments/iau6dk/pipedreamer79s_guide_to_clear_glue_bed_dyes/
