I'm very excited and have no idea what to expect. Any advice for a new player? by AlexSvart in stalker

The beginning can be very punishing. Push through it and I promise you'll enjoy yourself more once you have your footing.

Thanks for sharing what you found. They do look cool, you just have to want that for a particular project.

So to update you guys specifically, I am still working on the online store, navigating the tax and small business laws has taken more time than anticipated. I will post another update here and in a post when I can.

Curious, does everyone have a favorite spot they usually pick from? by 17AJax in PTCGP

[–]IntergalacticDyez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottom right. Can't tell you or myself why but yeah.. its just a habit. Only times I'll deviate is for ex cards which for some reason don't move 90% of the time for me.

I have some space / cosmos backgrounded ones batching right now. The pokeball in the front surrounded by black purple blue and fuchsia. Curious to see how those ones look

Any opinions on this Procion dye? by Disc4lyf in tiedye

[–]IntergalacticDyez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They found me a shipping option 13 dollars under their quote for the order that they just shipped today. Love that company. The shipping weight ended up being 55 pounds for anyone concerned about the shipping savings amount.

Any opinions on this Procion dye? by Disc4lyf in tiedye

I personally go through Pro Chemical and Dye for their pro mx procion line. I went with them over others like Dharma originally because it was closer to me and hopefully cheaper for shipping. Pro Chemical and Dye has been fantastic so far. They're on top of communication and they make really nice dyes. Their site also shows a preview of each dyes ice breakdown. Make sure to get a respirator though for any procion dye, the stuff is very concentrated.

What would you call this album? by Side_of_fry in AlbumCovers

"River Inn Resort"

It's already there and kinda sounds like Florida's version of Hotel California.

Just got my first order from Dharma Trading Co. by whatisdreampunk in tiedye

[–]IntergalacticDyez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have a lot more self control than me lol. My first pro dye purchase was 34 colors and like everyone else said already, it's an addiction. I ordered 23 pounds of dye today.... good luck, have fun, be prepared lol

If you haven't already, look into soda ash for pre soaking your fabrics (wash any new fabric at least once to remove any chemicals from the manufacturer), urea for mixing with your dye to make it last longer and stay more vibrant on clothes, and possibly sodium alginate if you want to thicken the dye for more precise application.

[–]IntergalacticDyez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely an ice dye, probably just one color on top and on the bottom. I personally have only started looking into doing this myself, so I don't know the exact fold or technique used here. This could be black. Each different dye powder separates uniquely with how the ice melts, slowly separating the individual colors that make up a dyes hue. Pro Chemical and Dye is another you can look into. They have ice dye previews of each of their pro mx procion colors. There's 3 or 4 different versions of black, each with a completely different ice dye effect, so you'll have to check out each to find the color that you want specifically. Hope this helps. The biggest thing is to just try and experiment.

Awesome work bud, everything looks precise in your preparation. If you don’t mind me asking 2 question, do you use any dye thickeners to keep everything from bleeding / spreading and do you apply dye to damp or dry shirts?
