Disc Dyeing 101: The Shaving Cream Method

[@stevenatkins5877]

mix the dye with the creme in a zip lock baggy. cut corner and use like a pastry bag. much easier than medicine dropper

[@aname7870]

Oh wow that worked much better

[@benredeemed7204]

can i shave my face with the colored cream during wait time or after final disc cream removal... that would be 1 of a kind shave

[@alexbromley9384]

Great tutorial!! Cannot wait to try this over the weekend!

[@kadenroblez8259]

It didn’t work for me

[@Katie8806]

Hi! 2 questions. Is this a non toxic way to dye a disc? And could I do this in reverse ( lay color down first then coat with the rest of the shaving cream) to dye the bottom? I have a dog who loses discs in the sunlight and rather than buy all new darker discs I thought it would try dying some.

[@calmilford8130]

I used a innova shark dx disc. The die did not work. I did everything exactly the same. So, wrong plastic?

[@horseflypro]

Dx plastic doesn’t take dye that well. Star, Pro, and Champion plastics are the best

[@sheet314]

@@horseflypro I tried dyeing my Star Mako3 last night and it also washed right off. Do I need to mix water with the dye and shaving cream mix before putting it on the pie tin? I just mixed the poly dye and shaving cream and then spread my design. So is water the missing piece for me?

[@horseflypro]

Mixing the dye with a splash of acetone might help. I use a small amount of acetone mixed with the dyes and the discs seem to take the dye well that way.

[@sheet314]

@@horseflypro Alright cool, thank you! I'll definitely give that a try and see how it goes.

[@austindvorak8]

How long does it last on the disc?

[@elielbarbalarga1872]

Is this possible with ultimate discs? Greetings from México

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

I'm wondering the same.

[@phynix5426]

Do u have to remove the stamp with acetone? Id like to keep the name

[@tbomber2209]

No. And the stamp won't absorb the dye leaving it the original color

[@brianmedley4289]

I’m doing everything the same, but my disc doesn’t seem to sink much into the shaving cream at all even after 8 hours. I tried using more water with the shaving cream to make it lighter, but that didn’t seem to help. So my designs are sticking to the disc, but they aren’t really spreading like I was hoping for. Ideas?

[@gustaflindell6637]

Put a light object on top of the disc, like a mini for example, remember to put it in the center.

[@jakerose4551]

Can you use food coloring I don't know where to buy the powder

[@troyhines5373]

You can get the dye at a fabric store such as JoAnn's or you can order it online. I dont know how well food coloring will work.

[@derekexplosion]

great video, looking forward to trying this technique on a clear disc i have

[@MrLizardnutz]

Tried this, Yellow dye took, Blue dye wiped right off...Any Ideas why? Thanks for the video!

[@benslichter5565]

+Jon Johanson Did you use the iDye Poly? Using the Poly is essential for maximum effect.

[@LordoftheEagles]

Is this strictly for white only? Any other colors to dye on?

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

I've seen Simon Lizotte and his wife do that on coloured discs, and it worked.

[@johnshepherd6925]

You can do it on colors but the colors you lay down won't be the same as normal. Depends on the color of the disc too.

[@DiscduckDG]

Nice Vid. Love the way the final disc looked.

[@vigilantejusticevid]

Is removing the stamp a necessary step?

[@Ember2remember]

Nope! Most stamps won't take the dye either leaving it relatively the same. I've seen good and bad results with the stamp on, but I think that comes more as user error and not the stamp itself.

[@joeyhuber6383]

Oh look, Ron Burgundy made a disc dying tutorial

[@michaellengyel33]

Cheap soft plastic? DX plastic falls under that correct?

[@Discgolffamilydiscgolf]

It works best on harder plastics.

[@pruuffi625]

@@Discgolffamilydiscgolf Wow. 5 years old video and you're still answering. That's cool

[@Discgolffamilydiscgolf]

My guess is that it was the plastic of your disc. I have heard that it works best on harder plastics.

[@Trapshooter2550]

Would adding water to the shaving cream and dye mixture hurt? I tried this on a disc and the color wages right off and I'm wondering if it is because I didn't get the powder fully dissolved! Thank you!

[@belindat9853]

You need to add the water.

[@bdayboy12]

does it work on latitude disc?

[@Discgolffamilydiscgolf]

+Robert Grayson. I have never tried a Latitude 64 disc. Hard plastics work best, and solid white discs will give you the most true colors from the dyes.

[@prestonrutherford3997]

I'd imagine opto plastic is dye-able. I'm going to try soon.

[@Petri_Pennala]

@@prestonrutherford3997 Have you tried and if you have hove did it turn out would love to dye my opto plastic compass🤩

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

@@prestonrutherford3997 Did that work?

[@prestonrutherford3997]

@@MaximilianBerkmann I tried yellow iDyePoly/shaving cream on a red opto/gold flake claymore and after 12hours no heat it did absolutely nothing.

[@dominictriana7607]

Do you absolutely have to wipe off the stamps? What would happen if you didn't?

[@monstersofthemidw100]

no you can leave em on dudeDominic Triana

[@averyimel726]

The intro is killing me!

[@filoIII]

Why not use the intesifier?

[@deepsharks]

+filoIII It is meant to cloth dyeing and dye does not work if you add that in.

[@jaketheglutenphreakharris6620]

Didn't work at all!! What did I do wrong?!?!?! What could I have possibly done wrong that would have made it not work at all? I used White Star plastic, Idye Poly, mixed the shaving cream with water for the bed, add power straight to the shaving cream and if anything I used too much dye. I didn't push it down, I waited 8 hours, I washed it in cold water, and it was COMPLETELY CLEAN...........

[@mackyd955]

that sucks. wish I knew to help you out :(

[@belindat9853]

It sounds like you did the same thing I did. I added JUST powder, no water, (I forgot) to the shaving cream in the cup with my yellow. Then I added the powder AND water to my red in the cup. After 8 hrs I rinsed it off and the red came out perfectly but the yellow didn't do a thing. Then I realized, you NEED the water to activate the dye. It actually says it on the box. I didn't use a lot of water in the red, just enough to make it thick/thin enough to spoon the colored shaving cream into my cake decorating squeeze bottle I got at JoAnn's and perfectly decorated the disc. I hope that helps. Also, don't push down on the disc AT ALL because it blurs your lines because it spreads out the dye. my disc still looks cool but it wasn't perfect because I just had to push it down, just a tiny bit. Don't do it. PS, I did 3 discs so far, 1 Star, 1 G Star and 1 Champion and they all took the dye.

[@belindat9853]

I used iPoly which I bought at JoAnn's with a coupon for $2.90 a packet, threw away the enhancer packet, I only used about 10% of the dye for the 3 discs I did, used only cold water, I wiped off the stamps on the Star and G Star but left on the Champion stamp and it dyes the disc itself but leaves alone the stamp.

[@3hanzzz]

One part pf this can he avoided by having bottom stamp

[@pewwbz9647]

Beautiful!

[@conner9223]

Would rit dye work

[@BlueberryBurrito]

They changed their formula, it doesn't work anymore.

[@Discgolffamilydiscgolf]

BlueberryBurrito thank you for letting us know. We were unaware of that. We will make sure to let our readers know about it.

[@dakotabrooks5472]

Hey all. I tried this and NONE of the die stuck. I used a star mako3. The one thing I did different was used RIT liquid diet because I could not find idye powder dye. None of the dye took to the disc. Is the powder essential?

[@prestonrutherford3997]

Yes. That is why they specifically recommend the iDye Poly. iDye Poly is designed for synthetic material. RIT dye is designed for fabrics consisting of natural fibers.

[@gogopossum]

Lol “I tried this and NONE of the die (sic) stuck”. Good to hear that you used a completely different main ingredient.

[@BodybyPBLOL]

They do make RIT Synthetic, it works too, It will say synthetic on the front inside of a grey banner.
