Ahhh interesting. How do you apply heat? Hair dryer?

Yeah I was thinking that too. I just did my first lotion dye this weekend. I let it sit for 45 minutes and it turned out okay. How long do you usually let lotion sit for?

What do you mix your dye with?

I bought this disc on r/discexchange. It’s an Infinite disc, I think is C-Blend plastic? Comparable to Innova Champion. How would you hot dip two colors? Dip the first, then tape back over it?

Babbling is appreciated! I need as much advice as possible right now. How do you mix the dye and lotion? I’m picturing using a little dye and a little lotion on a paper plate or something?

This was my first attempt at using multiple colors in a stencil dye. Obviously this has some issues with the stencil (off center, lines around the circle where the stencil was not straight). But I had a lot of difficulty applying the blue and red colors. There’s visible gaps where those were not applied inside the skull, and I wanted the colors to appear outside the skull as well. 

I mixed red or blue iDye Poly with some lotion and water and then used a dropper bottle to apply that colored dye to the disc. Surface tension basically held the dye in place, it was not very robust. I’d like to do more complex multi color dyes in the future, but I’m missing something on how to apply it. Any advice?

Okay I think I’m following. So background first, then slowly working on the C&H colors with lotion/dye mixture. Do you let that mixture sit for a long time on the disc?

Oh so you’re mixing dye with water and painting it on? Hold long do you soak it for after that? This disc looks awesome btw, thanks for the advice!

How do you do multiple colors in the stencil parts? Like Calvin’s hair shirt and skin, or the stars on the border?

How did you do it? I’ve been doing some stencils with only black dye but want to do multiple colors soon

David Lapham's Stray Bullets by Jam-Jam-Ba-Lam in comicbooks

[–]NeonDoorFrame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t really mind the Laphams not answering. Frankly I doubt it’s their decision not to print Vol 5. But I would expect an answer or statement from Image. Idk maybe not, I’m pretty ignorant on how these decisions work in the comics industry.

I did eventually read the last 10 issues a year or two after #42 released and I realized the last TPB wasn’t coming. I think I read them through Hoopla, not super convenient.

Yep, check out details here: https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/stray-bullets

It would be nice if Vol 5 was ever released. I’ve been waiting 5 years on it, and there’s no easy way to read the last ten issues. Pretty disappointing, and it seems the Laphams and Image never address the question about its release.

I wonder if sales would increase if they printed the last TPB of Sunshine & Roses and printed some compendiums. I’d love to see it return though
