Disc Golf Dyeing - Clear Glue Swirling with Bryan Eckert

[@petegargotto6142]

Brian's a beast, I have 2 disc he dyed. I meant to reach out to him for another one but then I decided to learn the way. Glad my friend shared this channel to me. Awesome,, awesome, awesome man!

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

You know all the big hitters out there! Brian is definitely a stud too, bagging on of his discs myself. I can tell you're going to make a welcome addition to the crew Pete, welcome bud!

[@TheSubtleamuzement]

Wow, this is awesome. This will be a summer project for the kids and I.

[@guelphdgc7995]

This tutorial is so good! If you count the tips Bryan gives, it's unbelievable, so thorough. Thank you Bryan and TDIDI!

Love how bro misplaced one of those first ink drops,, just like Simon!! But held it together and rolled with the punches!! Amazing work!!! Merry Xmas TDIDI Army!!!

A really smart teacher once told me, “The artistry is in the recovery.” Sometimes we’re going for something, and we screw up, or something doesn’t happen like we hoped it would. Oh well, make the most of it, and learn from your mistake to try and keep it from happening again. Merry Xmas to you too!

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Never perfect always awesome!

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Could agree more with this... I've learned so much more from the broken eggs along the way than the omelets.

[@letsjustgo7119]

Well said by both!! Thank U both for your great content. Can't wait to see the magic 2021 brings! Happy holidays!!!!!

[@nowskidyes2740]

What a great video! I’ve been following pipedreamer79’s glue bed tutorial on Reddit, and I’m stoked you featured him on your channel. By far my favorite dye method that’s easily achievable.

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Right back atcha Samantha!

[@HeadNtheClouds]

Does it just paint the surface or does it penetrate the plastic? I want to dye some plastic skate boots (rollerblades)

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

These Poly dyes that Brian is using in the video, they are made to work with plastics. Some plastics work way better than other though, not 100% sure on the rollerblades. Worth a try though. Let us know us works out.

[@harrylake9388]

I’m glad I came across this. sweet video guys!

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Us too Harry, welcome to the crew!

[@justin32089]

Will this work with white glue? What’s the difference between clear and white glue?

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

It's all just chemistry at the end of the day Justin. The dye react a bit differently with white glue than with clear glue making for different funky designs. As long as the dye (or dye mix) is in contact with the surface of the disc once you slap it in there, it should transfer give enough time.

[@chadprewitt3233]

Merry Christmas Tdidi army 🎄

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Same to you Chad!

[@jasonrice874]

Is the color supposed to settle to the bottom of the glue or sit on top?

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

It should be resting on the top so that it's in contact with the disc when you send it in.

[@michaeldrew9150]

awesome job, awesome narration

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Total stud, right?!?

Ho Ho Hey Now lol. Santa Cobbers lol. Awesome. Love it. YEA!!! Y'all whipping up some hot fire its melting my screen. Keep Doing It!!!

[@ADVRidgeRunner]

We’ll that glue isn’t 5 bones no more. Lol. TDIDI must went ham on it over this year. Lol

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Prices have indeed gone up over that last year or two. You can still find it for around $7-$8 a gallon if you dig a bit.

[@pasmith4668]

WHAT IS THE ACETONE FOR?? DOES RIT DYE WORK WITH GLUE??

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

The acetone helps convert the powdered dye over to a liquid version that'll work in this kind of bed. I haven't played much with Rit in clear glue beds bud it works pretty well with white glue.

[@jakeb9911]

Sorry if this is obvious, but is it okay to wash the excess glue off in the sink? Wouldn't that clog the drains?

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Everyone's plumbing situation is a little different, I'd hate to give bad advice there. That said I've been rinsing it down the utility sink in the basement with no problems. Safest move is probably just to let it dry and then throw it out.

[@davesampayo4191]

Did Bryan say if he used Idye poly with acetone on clear glue? Or just Pro Chem. I wasn’t sure what dye he was using in this video. Thanks.

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Mostly ProChem, little iDye here and there.

[@Maxlance101]

This video is super helpful! I just bought the stuff to dye some discs. The drops of dye kind of just sank to the bottom of the glue bed, do you know why that would be?

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Hey now Max! Tough to say exactly without knowing the type of glue and the dye (or dye/mix) you're using. In general though you want the viscosity or thickness of the medium you're using in the bed to be higher than that of the dye/mix that's going on top to keep it on the surface. Hope that helps bud, feel free to shoot us a DM over on FB or IG if you want to hash it out some more.

[@Maxlance101]

@@TheDifferenceisDoingIt thanks, I'll give it another shot.

[@brianhourigan771]

Love the videos! Please keep it up. Just curious, can you do an acetone mix with the worm dip or prochem? If so if there a ratio you could recommend? I apologize if you have already addressed this question. I'm doing water/idyepoly packets with good results but it doesn't get that oilslick effect on the glue bed. I'm wondering if that's what I'm doing wrong. Thank you again for this channel and all the information. Love the energy and positivity this channel brings.

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Hey now Brian! Appreciate the kind words, happy to help where we can. You can indeed mix iDye and/or ProChem with acetone and use that. The ratios are an evolving beast, but I have them all list on the FAQs page of our website here if you want to check them out. www.thedifferenceisdoingit.com/faqs/

[@brianhourigan771]

@@TheDifferenceisDoingIt thanks for the response brother!

[@dickiebrewer1232]

Dang. when he flipped that disc over, I said "DAMN!", My eyes popped out of my head. Absolutely brilliant! By the way, have you thought of selling kits? You know, Glue, dye, etc in a kit. Everything you need to dye your own disc. I'd buy it and I'm sure others would too.

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Had that same feeling, his saturation and design integrity every time is slamming! We're beating on the same drum with dye kit idea, been sorting something like that out for the website. Shipping flammable stuff though can be tricky. We'll figure out a way to make it all work soon enough.

[@dickiebrewer1232]

@@TheDifferenceisDoingIt Just ship by ground. Simple.

[@nckd1244]

Is there a link to get the pro chem dyes or is it just randomly picked up? Are all of the dyes prosperse or acid dyes

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Check out the resources page on our website nckd1244. All of the dyes I use are broken down there with links to where you can pick them up. www.thedifferenceisdoingit.com/resources/

[@ede93]

How much iDye and acetone? I’m not sure the ratio. Thanks!

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

It's kind of running formula that I'm always adding more acetone or dye to as I go. But it usually starts out as 1/4 tsp of iDye (or ProChem) to 2 oz of acetone.

[@christophershoemaker8848]

I'm so confused everyone talks about acetone eats plastic so don't use plastic. I'm good with that and it makes sense to me I store it all in glass, but it confuses me that the acetone I buy comes in a plastic container. Why does that plastic hold up to the acetone is it just a different type or something?

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

I can be a little confusing, but they make chem-safe plastic too. If you going to store acetone (or alcohol) mixes you want to make sure that's what it is, or glass like you said.

[@dillonmoore1644]

Acetone mixed with the dye?

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Yup. 80%+ alcohol should work as well.

[@ChayseGrizzell]

Greazy’s putting out some new next level techniques. Looks like maybe some kind of oils might be involved, by the way the colors are pooling up and staying separate.

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Seen his recent stuff, it's definitely fire! Would be honored to have him on the channel some day.

[@frankbennett7973]

Wouldnt The magic eraser doesnt scuff up the plastic?

[@bryaneckert3079]

Not that I’ve noticed. Kastaplast is the biggest culprit with this silicone solution, and the finish/gloss on that plastic shows every little blemish and flaw. It feels like the same consistency and texture as the little makeup wedges that I use to wipe stamps. As far as I’ve been able to tell, that magic eraser doesn’t hurt the finish.

[@frankbennett7973]

@@bryaneckert3079 awesome thanks for the tip. I have some glimmer and chameleon discs I've been afraid to try inam going to use your method on

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

I've used them with success as well, no scuffing or damage to the plastic. Just don't go at it too hard.

[@ryanw913]

I tried this method with synthetic rit dye but the dye droplets just sank to the bottom of the glue bed and when mixed just formed a new color, ie blue and yellow mixed to a nasty green. I must be missing something.

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Yeah, I don't think Rit is the right dye for this method. I've had much more luck using it on white glue and lotion. Worm Dip, Pro Chem, and/or iDye Poly are your best options with clear glue. Hope that helps bud.

[@ryanw913]

@@TheDifferenceisDoingIt thanks for the reply, I think i'll try with another base next time.

[@keymaster502]

Would this work with rit dye more synthetic (liquid) mixed with acetone?

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

I haven't had much success mixing Rit Dyemore with acetone. That said, I've figured out some pretty cool stuff experimenting through ideas like that. I say give it try! Worst case you can always check out our Glue Beds with Tiffany Shaw video. She shares her dye mix that includes Rit and makes some pretty killer designs with it.

Thank you for the response and for sharing have a great day!

[@christophershoemaker8848]

Curious has anyone ever had a problem with the glue in plumbing? I'm in an apartment so not really a concern if maybe only after years but I'd hate to damage home plumbing after years of glue clogging it. I guess easy enough to get a screen for the drain though

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

Letting what's left dry out and then just chucking it works well...and makes some pretty cool looking clear glue patties.

[@thecynic807]

I was thinking how is this not going to add weight or just be a disc stuck in glue.

[@TheDifferenceisDoingIt]

The dye doesn't add any extra weight to the disc that is measurable, and the glue doesn't even come close to drying/hardening by the time you pull it out. All just rinses off.

[@andrealange3658]

So dope bro. Thanks for showing us how to do this. Can't wait to do this with my youth team (West Michigan Youth DGC). I'm gonna get so many rad coach bonus points.
