Cell Dye MASTERCLASS - Everything There is to Know About Cell Dyes

[@megsmileyspaces]

The tip about blowing the plastic wrap into the round pans rocked 👍

[@edgerunnerproduction]

Your skills at disc dying are some of the best I’ve seen. Great techniques. Very creative.

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Much appreciated thank you

[@toddcannon1293]

Thanks for clarifying why you use 3M silicone vs acrylic pouring silicone. Learned a valuable lesson today. Wish I watched this last night, lol Love your cell dyes!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Happy to help!

[@JohnMcCloskey]

Seconded!

[@chazmac2677]

Said it before and I’ll say it again. You are a BEAST!

[@402DiscDyes]

Thank you for this video! A great video for people getting started! ❤

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

You're so welcome!

[@JohnMcCloskey]

Love it, Rob. Thanks again for sharing so freely, you’re an inspiration. Looking forward to getting my splatter tool in the mail!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

You're welcome. Can't wait to see what you come to with!

[@turbati]

Really appreciate the detailed knowledge you share. I was curious what your process is for the cell dyed canvas on your wall. How long does it stay in the bed, and how do you clean the canvas. I would love to be able to make some for my non disc golf playing family.

[@KobOneArt]

Absolutely incredible video!! I've always appreciated you and your videos... you've never tried to keep any dye "secrets" all to yourself... always willing to share information with the community and help out in any way you can! Kudos, brotha!!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Thanks so much! No secrets here just trying to help everyone have a good time

[@emtblife8944]

I have made a tools similar to that, have you considered putting that jig into the floetrol and using it to make symmetrical circular rings? You would just put whatever colors you want in each ring, lift the tool, slide a paper plate underneath and let the rings merge together. Just a thought

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

That was the idea when I first designed that tool, and you can definitely try it. The issue I had was the oil jumped off the tool too easily

[@stefandomagalski3722]

What a treat! Thanks for your efforts. I appreciate the opportunity to learn about the techniques you use

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

My pleasure glad you enjoyed it

[@collinmccurdy445]

what was left behind after the first transfer was even better I think. Id want that on a disk over the first transfer, Looks like big flower pedals

[@texfarrell600]

Love the splatter! You are always innovating, i love it. Cool to see you doing regular wall art too. The tool reminds me of a horse brush, which i have, might give it a shot. Thanks Rob!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Nice give it a shot!

[@austinhorner7703]

Awesome work Lilbot, thank you!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Glad you like it!

[@AlphaSketchy]

Whoa! I love how organic those splatter cells are! Makes me want to try some biology looking stuff. Also love your acrylic pour art making an appearance at the start. So cool to see the transfer of skills.

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

The splatter cells are so much fun. Like freeform cells on steroids

[@stevecinnibarhoffman]

Very nice stuff!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BonnieZishka]

I can’t seem to find an Afro pick with removable tines. Thanks for the videos. Well done.

[@jeremiahgillespie8774]

Where did you buy that silicone oil? Great work as always

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

You should be able to get it from the dyers guild website.

[@goblinhut]

Hey man thanks a lot for the tutorial. Just one question - Can i just "refill" the squeeze bottles when I nearly emptied them or clean them first and fill completely fresh?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

I just refill them but after a while they get some gunk in them and need to be cleaned

[@jaredhorton7938]

thanks for all the info! does using more/less amounts of dye powder affect the colors shade at all? or should just purchase more colors😅 tore my meniscus last month so learning these techniques is helping me stay connected to the sport i love. thanks!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Adding more or less dye will affect the saturation. If you add too much though it will cause your colors to bleed together

[@jaredhorton7938]

@@LilbotDiscGolf awesome thanks! your videos have been incredibly helpful!

[@evanstout3576]

I'm just about to start dying discs and WOW, your work is impressive! If I don't have a heat lamp, do you suggest letting the discs sit in the dye for 24 hours?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Sure but I highly recommend getting a lamp or dehydrator

[@colemikel8976]

What are some good tips for using black dye been having issues using it.

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

When in doubt add more dye. Also idye poly black > PCAD onyx

[@colemikel8976]

@@LilbotDiscGolf yea been doin the exact ratio mix and it's been coming out very faded with onyx

[@colemikel8976]

​@@LilbotDiscGolfWould I use the same ratio mix as the pcad mix using the same little chart u use for prochem

[@402DiscDyes]

For the hall cells can I use the 3 in one silicone instead of the acrylic silicone oil in the dyes

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

If you're talking about Halo cells then no. 3 in 1 doesn't do well for that

[@forrestcoy3350]

When using the poker/afro pick……. Are you going all the way to the pan or just breaking the surface? Great video and very informative!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

With 3 in 1 silicone that does not matter. Either works

[@ryanstreet69]

How do you get your flame scarlet lines to sit on top of the white? Are you adding more floetrol to the flame scarlet squirt bottle? Mine always sink pretty bad

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

In my experience it doesn't sink as rapidly as other colors. You could try warming it up a bit first

[@ryanstreet69]

@@LilbotDiscGolf okay thank you dude. Would love to watch some acrylic/floetrol tutorials done by you next. Appreciate you a lot Rob!

[@southpawcinema8466]

Thanks for putting this together Rob! As great as the content is, I cant help but notice the custom built FPV drones on the wall in the background. Do you fly FPV drones as well? I just got into the hobby this year and absolutely love it! 😊

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

I built and flew fpv drones before getting into disc golf. Don't fly then much these days as I don't have room for all these hobbies, but I still keep around to fly from time to time.

[@southpawcinema8466]

@LilbotDiscGolf I hear you, so many hobbies, so little time! I think disc golf and FPV can compliment each other well. I love it when I get opportunities to chase other people's shots 😎

[@Flames4791]

is the bed reusable over and over again for the splatter cell method?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Yup it's reusable for any method.

[@Christopher.mabbitt]

If i dont have a heat lamp, how long should i be leaving discs to treat in the dye? Ive heard 24+ hours.

[@ce2341]

is your floetrol and water mixture not wrong? You filled some water first, then combined with "4oz" of floetrol by filling it to the line, but the water already present would offset that. So you likely had more like 3oz of floetrol no? Does the consistency change anything during the dying process, or is it moreso affecting pours and design layouts in the bed?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

If you add too much water it can affect the consistency but I try use a minimal amount. It's not technically correct to the recipe sheet but that sheet is not something that needs to be perfectly adhered to.

[@WHEELSRT7]

Wow! Will this work with alcohol ink?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Not likely. You need a dye designed for use on plastics

[@WHEELSRT7]

​@LilbotDiscGolf thank you, I'm dyeing abs plastic thats been vacume formed for a cosplay costume. Would this method work?

[@r3trogam3rstudios83]

Yep now I need 3 in 1 silicone oil now

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

You won't regret it. It's the best
