As long as it doesn't turn black then the easiest option would be to just cook it, let cool, then dispose of it. Cooked plastisol is fine to dispose of and you dont have to deal with the hassle or be concerned with dealing with liquid.

No, particle size does not matter. Dyes are soluble in plastisol where as pigments are not. If you think of it this way: -Pigments are like adding sand to water. Wont dissolve, wont move, the same as when you add it. -Dyes are like adding sugar to water. Will dissolve, will migrate to reach equilibrium. I know that is an oversimplification but it helps to conceptualize the difference between the two. Hope that helps.

Mixed with other non-bleeds or not the dye will still bleed and migrate. No way around it.

Yes, they should still absorb scented oil.

You could also try wrapping it in woven fiberglass tape to help insulate.

To my knowledge there is nothing currently on the market that will either dye or paint Elaztech. However, I do know that Spike-It is launching Elastint spray dyes specifically for that type of bait in about a month.

That particular Watermelon from MF must be made with a bleeding pigment or dye. MF usually notes which colors are non-bleed so you might check that color number to verify. My biased recommendation would be Watermelon 101 from LureWorks, beautiful non-bleed watermelon color.

You should contact them directly and request one. They should be able to provide you with a Safety Data Sheet.

LureWorks Black Plum Dye 225 might be a better choice than Plum Dye 179. Plum Dye 179 has some hi-lite blue pearl powder which I don't think that bait has any of that in it.

Looks like a basic Watermelon with 0.035" Square Black, Kelly Green, and Gold and 0.015" Red.

Per 1 cup of plastic. Back: LW Black 103 - 10-20 Drops Belly: H-Lite Blue - 1/2 to 1 tsp Cherry Red 120 - 5 to 8 drops You can play with the ratio of Hi-Lite Blue to Cherry Red to change the belly color. Less hi-Lite Blue and more Cherry Red will give you a redder belly. More Hi-Lite blue and less Cherry Red will make it more purple. You can also use this same recipe but substitute the Hi-Lite Blue 135 with either Pearl White 127 or Silk Pearl 164 and you'll get Red Shad. Obviously you can adjust the above formula to suite your personal taste. Drop some pics here of your results.

LureWorks has both Hologram and Sparkle (Disco) that hold up to high temp. https://www.ispikeit.com/category/42/glitter?pagenum=2

Most Zoom "Candy" colors use purple and green glitter along with black. Disco Candy would be Sparkle Violet and Sparkle GR (green) along with black. Not sure about the base color but it looks like Watermelon, maybe a Baby Bass.

A google search for "Ultra Molds" doesnt bring up their direct website, only Facebook and Instagram sites. A google search for "Ultramolds" brings up their site but with weird descriptions with foreign language. But click on the link and it brings you to the legit website. Might have been a cyber attack or something. You might want to call anyways as they list shooting stars as out of stock. 1-318-255-7144

For Methiolate 132 from LureWorks make sure you mix well before dispensing and be cautious as this is one of those fluorescent colors that can clump when adding to hot plastic. Stir vigorously while adding to hot. Better option is to add to cold plastic and mix well first. Number of drops will depend on how intense you want the color. I would start at 30 drops per cup and adjust based on your personal preference.
