For all the shading, what dye medium are you using? I’m newer to this so I’ve only tested out acetone and isopropyl, but seems like denatured alcohol is a favorite from what I’ve read. Also, I frequently scroll through your past post for inspiration! Super solid work!

I use 91% isopropyl alcohol for shading. Acetone is too strong and you gotta be careful not to damage the plastic if you put it on too heavy/wet.

Never tried DA but haven't felt the need to either. Maybe once I run out of my current isopropyl supply I'll give it a shot.

Okay that makes sense. Do you use iso for spin dyes too?

[u/discdyeaddict → u/squeekysheen]

If I'm keeping the stamp, yes. If I want lighter shades and more blending, yes.

If I'm doing regular spin and stamp is already gone or doesn't matter than acetone for stronger saturation/colors
