Here's the thread I posted about the Veniards Fly Dye and how they came out, sent Skip some of them and he took photo's which would show if they did come out flourescent -

The Veniards Dye I got from Stone River Outfitters in New Hampshire - they only order twice a year from Veniards so they might be out of some colors when you check. Veniard's Fly Dye

Finally got Fl. Hot Pink dye from Anglers Workshop Angler's Fly Dyes

and here's the thread on how it came out

Anglers Workshop has a Fl. Chartreuse but I haven't got that one yet.

Both companies state that when doing bucktails you have to use a lot more dye. The whiter the bucktail the better the color is going to come out, the boar hair I've seen lots of different shades in the hair so you may not get a perfect chartreuse color. Remember both dye's require white vinagar to set the color. I had trials and errors while I was learning how to dye.

This one is Hawaiian Punch Lemon Lime Splash drink mix - I used 4 of the packs to get this color, again you have to use white vinegar to set the color



This is what I got, it is a shade of chartreuse


Here's the search result for dyeing and user Fatman - it has all the threads I did on dyeing and will show you a bunch of the colors from different dyes and drink mix's. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/searc...rchid=11390293 I had a bunch of trial and error while I was learning how to dye.

If you run into any problems let me know and I'll try and help you out.
