First dye job!!! C+C please!

[Piklz]

Ok, so i've been thinking about this dye job for a while, and was gonna wait for a friend of mine who's experienced to try it with me, but i got impatient. This is my first attempt at anything custom ever, and i'm super pleased with it. Its a warrior amonte (girls stick). let me know what you think!

I'm still haveing some dificulty getting the last of the glue off. any ideas?

[Brad51992]

nice nice, what head is that ?

[Piklz]

Warrior Amonte

To get the glue off put it in icy cold water for a 25 or 20 minutes and the glue will come off pretty easily then.

[Piklz]

Thanks! I popped it in the freezer and that worked well. I can't wait to string it, though i can't get a hold of the colors i wanted. I'm stuck with lime green synthetic leathers, but i died the shooters to match the stick so its not too bad.

[Piklz]

thanks guys. I'm gunna try to get my friend to string it by wednesday, so i'll post up som pics then

That Dye Job is Hot :devil: , i was just wondering how u got that really cool fade from the blue to the white

[Piklz]

Thanks! I hot glued the whole thing and made a pot of royal blue, then dipped the bottom in to where i wanted the fade to start and kept dipping gradually until i got the color i wanted. I got really lucky, lol, cuz i didn't have a very good idea of what i was doing. I just tried to avoid the middle so it stayed white.

[lax848]

Cool, ill give it a try.

[lax848]

Im gonna dye a Brine answer, if nebody has suggestions for like 3-4 colors that wud be cool thx

**cough**thread jacking**cough** looks good, but i have never heard of the Warrior Amonte, i did my first dye like that too, same colors and everything except, whats that big white gapp on the scoop?

[Piklz]

Thanks. haha i dunno i just wanted a little extra something, plus you can't see it in the pics but there's a W there, so i thought i should accent it. *Shrugs*

[eaweb824]

for everyone who needs clarification, the Warrior Amonte is a WOMEN'S head.

piklz, that is an awesome dye for a first time

[ptlax24]

nice dye
too get glue off I run a spot on the head under hot water and the glue usually comes off easily
why does that head have so many topstring holes

[Piklz]

thanks guys. I've gotten all the glue off, it should be strung up by tomorrow, and i'll post pics then. I dunno why it has so many topstring holes... cuz its speshal?

[Piklz]

The dye is really tight. The whole stick is really vibrant and colorful, not my thing but still looks pretty good.

The stringing doesn't look symmetrical though, I just noticed that. Maybe it's just me.

In the second pic the shooter wasnt right but i fixed it as well as i knew how. i was just shooting with it and its incredible. it throws like a guys stick
