In addition to not achieving the vibrant colors you get by putting the dye into the plastic, I think dip n dyes would always bleed too and be a nasty mess. Unless you dipped each one right before use, which could get time consuming, and I always manage to get dip dyes spilled on me and the boat. Still use 'em on a tough day though.

I have some of dip-it-dye . . . dipped some plastics . . . found if start with white plastics then use dip-it gives pretty good results ie white to pink-white to black-white to chartruse. . . . wondering if you could use dip-it dyes in the plastisol as a colorant without big problems?

I use it for my chartruse because it does not bleed over as bad others I have used... Caution spike it will bubble up so watch it...........tknight
