    Default coloring question


    instead of mixing the color into the hot plastic, couldnt u pour/inject the bait clear then dip the colors u wanted in spike-it thats already scented? Advantages/disadvantages????? Seems like u might save alittle money??

    You can get your baits to have a lot better colors out of colorants as opposed to just dying them. That stuff works good for dying tails a different color. As for the cost... A 2 or 4 oz bottle of colorant will last the avg DIY guy a long time.

    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
