I'm never going to dye anything I just want to give a *hear hear!" for squiddy 👏👍

[@1andonlyMiro]

Yes. Yes you can. Especially if you just add more dye after pulling one disc off of the bed and just send another one. And another. And another. And another. Might have to add some fresh glue at some point tho.

[@1andonlyMiro]

The only time the used glue affects the disc is if you're using really light colours or trying to leave some areas white. Those places will look dirty at best. However if you add dye onto the entire area the glues "wear" doesn't affect it at all. Unless it starts to dry out. I think I've gotten 7 discs out of a single bed but I've heard of people getting even more out of them. I usually just use the same "bed" for dyes multiple times instead of rebottling the glue BUT that's just because I'm lazy. 😅

Thanks for doing this, I had been curious about this myself. I started dyeing last year and went through almost 3 gallons of glue. I have reclaimed about 2.5 gallons of that which had been used and it was waiting for my town's "chemical collection day" at the dump this summer. I will probably give these "second chance" dyes a shot myself now. I do have a couple gallons ahead from taking advantage of 50% off coupons at Michaels over the winter and spring but stretching the old stuff and not having to buy more would be nice as well.

Also, I got the Neon Lemon Zest last year on your recommendation and it is great. I find ways to use it on so many discs. ProChem has an entire neon dye set now which I may grab as I get rolling with dyes this year to see if the others are as good.

[@DiscGolfNerd]

Right on. Glad to help. I got the neon set but found the other colors hit and miss unfortunately. Zest is where it's at tho. Cheers!

@@DiscGolfNerd Good to know, I have the Flying Ace starter set from ProChem and a small tub of Zest so far. Maybe I will just pick up some individual colors this year. I am looking for a bright orange and a different bright/light blue (Caribbean Blue is tough to predict results even at 2-3x strength) . Any of the others from the neon pack worth grabbing a small tub of or other ProChem favs in general? Thanks again, I watched a ton of disc dye vids before I started last summer and yours helped me out quite a bit.

[@DiscGolfNerd]

I use the radical red a lot. I think it was the fluorescent pink that was the other one I liked from the neon set. If you wanna email me or message on Instagram I can probably send you some neon colors to try, I should still have em in the garage. I still haven't found a blue I'm fully happy with.

[@maawdawg]

@@DiscGolfNerd That would be awesome. I will drop you an email shortly. The Sonic Blue that came in the starter pack I got is a nice deep blue. Darker than royal but not quite navy. EDIT: Didn't have your email and it isn't in your linktree. I may just try to hit you up in your Patreon if that works.
