Question 1

Will the dye fade over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially with sun exposure. Storing discs out of direct sunlight helps preserve color.

Question 2

Does dye come off on hands or clothes?

Accepted Answer

If properly set and rinsed, it shouldn't. Incomplete setting may cause smearing or bleeding.

Question 3

What types of plastic are best for dyeing?

Accepted Answer

Premium plastics like Champion, Star, ESP, and Opto are best. Base plastics like DX or Pro D typically don't take dye well. If you have a specific plastic you are curious about, use the Dyers Guild's Disc Dyeing Acceptability Chart (https://dyersguild.co/disc-dyeing-acceptability-chart/)to search lookup your plastic.

Question 4

Is it legal to use dyed discs in tournaments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as the disc is PDGA-approved and not altered in a way that changes its flight or violates rules (e.g., added weight or texture).
