Thank you Rob for kindly sharing this technique with the rest of us! When you first posted that on the gram I had never seen anything quite like it before and I was hoping a tutorial was not far behind. You always deliver man, thanks again!

[@trevorwischhusen2869]

Glad you're back. Your creativity is inspiring

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Thank you! 😊

[@Toddztank]

Thank you so much for all of your videos. I did this one and it turned out pretty good. I was trying to add a picture so you could see it but I’m not sure how to do that.

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

You are so welcome!

[@stevecinnibarhoffman]

Just dragging the poker, eh? Here I was experimenting with putty knives, meat choppers, and engineering rulers trying to get weird shaped cells and all I needed to do was drag a simple poker, heh.

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

That's all there is to it!

[@6426985]

Hey I loved watching your results with all of these so I hope you don't feel like it wasn't research.🤓

[@andrewvergowe8186]

You are the man!!! Fine work!

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Glad to help

[@jonasspiro6476]

Hi Rob. I love your tutorials and was hoping you might be able to help me. Some of my dye mixtures keep sinking in the floetrol bed. I'm using pro chemicals neon colours and the royal purple sinks, I also have problems with other pro chemical colours sinking. I tried adding more floetrol to my mixture but it still sinks.

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Yup some colors sink. You can try warming them up first to help with that. Generally I just avoid using those colors though.

[@billmarshall7733]

Great content! You channel got me going. Do you nust keep it under the lamp for a period of time, then remove it and clean, or just jeep it under lamp for time, then turn off lamp and let it sit for a few hours more?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Either one works, of I want more saturation I'll let it sit longer

[@billmarshall7733]

@@LilbotDiscGolf awesome. I used an MVP plasma wave, let it sit for an hour and a half. Took it it out now. Wild! Looks like it's chromatic. Thanks man

[@JordieFike]

do you think a metal pin vs a wooden toothpick for 3 in 1 oil would make a difference? With wood it soaks in a bit but with metal it's just on the surface? Seems more oil would transfer with metal than wood (sorry .. random thought generates a random question)

[@sweetjohn3340]

Based on my experience you are correct, have had much more luck with a metal pin

[@arklave]

I can tell you from experience that the metal will give you the best results. I bought an afro pick from a beauty supply store and you can pull the pins off it.

[@JusThrowitDiscGolf]

Hi rob, I just started last night and my disc are coming out great in the eye bed but really faded after washing. I’ve tried 1 1/2, 4 hrs, 8+ and still the same result. Anyway I can contact you?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

DM me on Instagram

[@stevejp1978]

do you go all the way down with the poker?

[@danielwright8308]

I have the same question: it seems you are keeping the poker shallow in the bed for drag cells? Do you attempt to poke to a different depth than chameleon cells?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

Depth doesnt really matter in my experience

[@onionmuffins101]

how long do you heat your discs for? And is your pin just a sewing needle or?

[@TheTiredWanderer]

just curious but did you reuse the bed?

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

I got a third gen out of it before it was done

[@saragleason6421]

Where do you find white dye?? You are so creative!

[@trevorwischhusen2869]

Ahhhhhhh!

[@thew2n]

I think it's probably just floetrol without any dye in it.

[@LilbotDiscGolf]

That is correct
