How Do I Keep Colors From Bleeding Together?

[Slims]

So i am beginning to shoot 2 color plastics. Im using the basstackle stinger mold and the stinger tail mold and the trout mouse kit which is the trout worm and a salmon egg head. The two colors which i shoot separately are bleeding together a few days after they are connected. For example: i shot clear with Christmas tree flake for the stinger tails. Placed the tails in the stinger mold and then shot a junebug body. They adhered perfectly and the color separation was also perfect. I checked a few days later and the colors were bleeding together at the joint. Now a week later the junebug has slowly bled to the bottom of the tail.

Im using lurecraft 60/40 blend and all lurecraft colors. Is there anything i can do to arrest the bleeding of the colors? I mean why sell 2 part molds if the colors always bleed? Does this also happen with the twinjector?

Thanks for the help

Well the real answer is to ensure that your using non-bleed colorants many of the sites sell them. I'm not aware of any way to stop a bleeding color and a twinjector can't help with that either. Caney Creek/Do-it has non-bleed colorant.

Same thing happen to me. Diff. color but it also a LC colorant. I get mine from Spike-it now. call and talk to Bruce. Tell him the colors you want and non -bleed. He will hook you up.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

I know CCM tells you whether a color is bleeding or not on their site. Spike-it's doesn't, but they were really helpful when I emailed them, helped me find the non-bleed colors I wanted.
