how to color your feathers without a hot bath or die

I think you guys will find this very interesting and very fun to do, how many of you always wanted to have a red tip on your feathers. How many of you would like to have a rainbow feather to mess with. Well this is how you can do it you know these gals going down the street with all these pretty pink some purples green head and all that stuff. Well, you go to the beauty salon and you buy this stuff in a jar it's a paste and you could by any color that you would like and there are some pretty wild ones you take a little brush and lay your feather on the table. Make sure you have cardboard or paper down and simply rub this into the feather and let dry and there you have it. Have fun guys.

she'll deftly know what you're talking about and you could probably get some from her in beautiful pinks and purples and greens and you could have a ball.

I believe that you can get that stuff with glitter in it.

Ok Snake just a question or some Is it water proof, How permanate is it, Have you had any personal experiance with it wait Bad Redman Bad Redman. If it would be fairly permanate it might be worth a go. And yes some of the Wal-Mart friday night crowd do have some wild hair colors that would look good on some of my crappie jigs.

Redman

we are gonna be seeing some wild stuff from mudbug shortly......

u sure will as soon as i talk to the wife about this and figure out what colors they make

she says u can get hair color in wild colors and u can also get gel that is colored.but the gel of course will wash out quicker than the color will

I'm in trouble now . It does fade eventually, but it still holds some of the color so it does not completely fade out anyway that six brinks of I've had with it may be mudbug wife will have a better solution for putting on the feathers I'm sure that there's something that won't more shall I'm sure that this is going to be interesting. I tell you one thing if you put the hot pink on chartreuse it looks fantastic. I will try to post some tomorrow and you will see what we are talking about.

It will fade but so will most other stuff. You can set it by using ammonia. So many other things you can do with it if you put it in a syringe and put it on in lines or even put eyes on feathers.

There are ink companies that have bright colors that might even be more permenant and come in daubers and refills. I know some bingo daubers are so bright you can hardly see the number under them.

recently we've been talking about markers using them on plastic baits. I would imagine that the same markers would work quite well on feathers. I have not tried it yet guys but this stuff here is definitely waterproof . We have been using sharpie permanent marker . Will try some to day to see what happens.

here's a picture with that here stuff on the feather not a real good pitcher.

looks good to me

I tried it before. It is good for a few casts. A better option for me was those wild hair pieces at the beauty shop craft place. I would put a little in with the marabou and fish it.
