I tried to splash on my speeder with glue for the dying, but it’s not working. :-\ It ends up looking weird. Is there a pattern to splash in or something? ---

What kind of glue are you using? I like hot glue. It works the best. Don’t worry about the pattern. It may not look right but it could be awesome when its done. ---

I only have elmer’s glue :-\ It’s hard to get a line with it. It’s the one with an opening like this: [======]. I can’t get any patterns with it, so I put it in a ziploc bag with a corner cut. What should I do for the outside though? I can’t splash because the glue just goes down the slope. ---

no everything will be dyed and use hot glue i just tried useing elmer and i got meesed up in the acetone.  And yes black does change black but only on smooth surfaces like satin parts will be bllackish but not pure black. pics are here its the pgm.  Not bad for my first dye job i think.

I know, but I can’t make a splash, because the splash just goes to the middle of the Speeder, like it all flows towards the middle, making a mess. I need some kind of design, not splatter though. Would it look good if I just made a circle around the outside and let it drip? ---

I think liquid mask would be the way to go. I plan on using that and the krylon fusion spray paint that bonds with plastic to paint my PGM when it arrives ---

I use elmers glue (well some other brand but the same stuff.) I did this using multiple layers and dye, my best dye ever. Originally yellow. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/7/c973ea6db0dcdd10a9c0f680b5a16102dc3f2b35.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/2/a/f2a8010629648573650cabffbcd676c5b4056b46.jpeg) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/how-to-make-a-splash-pattern/8144.md?page=2)
