I'm just commenting to follow this thread. I have the same exact iMac and haven't found much help learning about troubleshooting or fixes. I'm thinking it needs a new hard drive, so your question might help. Thanks in advance, too!

For sure. Are you running the original hard drive? I upgraded to a SSD about 4 years ago. Also added 8g of ram. That sped it up enormously.

I'm gonna be completely honest, it's my first & only mac. All I know is the dude I bought it from upgraded to 16g of ram and patched Mojave. It started having issues like not booting passed apple logo or the triple beep. I removed the faulty ram and it booted... but now I'm stuck at a login screen with only a padlock icon and a blank text box. 🙃

One glance at your profile page and it's obvious you're no rookie lol props to your skills tho duder

VERY AESTHETIC! WELL DONE!

Any tips for tie dying with vinyl on the shirts already? Anything to avoid?

Yeah of course! Assuming you dye with procion (or any natural fiber reactive dyes) don't worry much about getting dye on vinyl or screen print. The dyes don't bond with synthetic materials, but will bond with the fabric beneath the vinyl and still be visible. Keep in mind for white or light color vinyl, if the vinyl is thin, on white or light colored shirts. and even reverse dyes if the color was removed behind the vinyl.

Thanks for all that information, I'll screenshot and add to my tie dye folder. And I'll tag you if I remember, I've followed you 👍🏼. Great work btw

Yeah no problem! Thanks for the follow and look forward to seeing your art

Dope color picks!

Do you know the source of this photo?

Job well done!

Love the colors. Looks like an aggravated emoji in the bottom center 😖🤣🤣🤣

haha thats funny! I like when tie-dye designs spark peoples imaginations!

Very cool, and very unique!🙂

Thats what i was going for, thank you!

This did not get the love it deserved

I Agree..... & you should see it in person. it SLAPS!

I would've never thought to put those two together. Chartreuse is one of my all time favorites. Looks amazing! Love the ink blot look. It turned out awesome!

Thank you! I didn't think they would look as good together as they do! I was just bored on day and decided to experiment. Glad I did!

I use sodium alginate to thicken the water

when I use sodium alginate I can't get the saturation needed. I guess I need to find some balance?

I’m having the same problem. Need the right balance between alginate and calsolene, I’m thinking

It doesnt look like youre having that problem! haha this shirt looks great! btw, i've never tried calsolene. maybe that's what i'm missing. thanks!

Beautiful

Thank you!

That's awesome man

I appreciate it yo

That’s just amazing

Well thank you so much!

Haha well thanks! You should see my the rest of the collection, if you think this one is all that 😏

Hahaha I had to match the music to the theme of the shirt. But thank you!
