Frank, that can't be right because my pigment is not broken down and I've never had a problem with bleeding. I just always assumed and have always been told that the reason it's broken down is to make for easy use. When you use the pigment like I use, you have to do it by weight and not by drops and it's really messy too. But I've also read where people are having problems with flake bleeding. This is something else that I've never had to happen. I've had it to fade because of heat, but I've never had it to bleed the color. Jeff, I've sent you a PM so as not to hijack this post, but I've got to say times two on your comments about David at Bear's Baits. I talked to him yesterday and today too and he told me awhile back that you and he were going to work together. I think this will be a great move for you and him both and I know for a fact that several people have wanted to carry David's molds for awhile now. I think a lot of David and for him to be willing to work with you after turning down so many others says a lot for you too. A lot of the new guys probably don't know it, but there were no standards in hand injection before David came along, he set the standard and almost single-handedly opened up a new market.

No apologize needed>>As far as I am concerned we will no longer be doing business with him for reasons not needed to be explained on TU or for anywhere other than a phone call directly to me at work, 817-281-9488. We are now carrying a few of David’s molds and may not set well with his competition. Only a few since we send several customers to David and one BT. I will say one idea I had for all of us suppliers, as CC was the only one that did not want to participate with me and did not want any part of plastisol testation. I guess I’ll go rest for next week glad it took a navel hernia operation to chime in. Jeff Smith, M-F Manufacturing Co. PS, I can say David is one of the nicest and easiest guys to work with I have ran across in quite some time in this type “3366 cutthroat trout M-F Color” business.

If it bleeds it will bleed no matter what you do with it unless there is a top secrete process or coated with a cured plastic that can’t be penetrated. Well it also depends what you are pouring it with, it should not show up in black most people know by now what bleeds into what. If you take all your scraps, non-bleeds and bleeders and then pour some baits one solid color, of course the bleeder color will bleed out of whatever color you come up with. Say example only a strawberry bleeder and black non bleeder then the strawberry, redish will eventually come out either in the bag or into separate bait lying next to each other. I have bleeders that bleed through the bottle and then the bag it is stored in. As far as 2x strength goes it is a selling point and I have a few colors you could call 12x, and it’s a great selling point not a great money making point. Another good example do you want to make single baits that catch fish for a week or sell multiple baits that catch many fish? just my 2 cents while i'm down. Jeff Smith, M-F Manufacturing Co

ccm colours is all repackaged M-F for now try kudzu, it should get you very close.

The first boat I ever built was built in two hours with the help of my brother. We did remodeling and had some 1/2 in. cdx plywood left over. We used one full sheet for the bottom, made the sides 16 inches high. We didn't bend the front, just made a joint at the end of the bottom and slopped the front up at a 45 degree angle. The seats were plywood that just layed on top of the sides and we would move them front or back to balance out the load. We used 2x2's at all joints and SEALED IT WITH ROOFING CEMENT to keep it from leaking. Screwed it together with dry wall screws. No paint, just carried it to the river and floated that evening and caught white bass. That boat lasted three years before it rotted out. Never got around to painting that boat, great for floating for two people. Killed a lot of ducks out of it also. Ugly boat! Musky Glenn
