bribass Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Looking for some help and input with Spike it colorant Ive never used it so I would love to hear form people who have. How strong is it? Is it pretty concentrated per drop? Obviously price plays a role in all our colorant options but some are much stronger than others. Also, how is the hard packing over time? Not too bad? Any overall experience with it and pros/cons would be very helpful! I tried to search first but didn't find much Thank you!

Bassinfool Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Love spike it colorants. Pretty strong, thick and don't have any hard packing issues at all that I've seen. Definitely worth giving it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Spikeit colors are pretty much all I use. They are thick but not so thick you can't mix them pretty easy. Had some of them for more than a year and no bad settling. I buy pints or larger so getting them to mix back up is easy. The price is about the best out there. And if you need a color just call and they will have or will make one that works for you. They have heard of everything by now. I have some that I use a lot and everytime I reorder I get the same color. That is priceless to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archery1 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 i think i read somewhere.. that spike it colors can be added into even hot plastic to get a true color? some makers suggest only adding into cold plastic.. let me no if i am wrong?

Only when you are using fluorescent colours. pretty much all fluorescent colours need to be added cold, all others can be added when you want.

I was talking to Don the owner of spike it and he told me he could make it so it could be added to hot plastic. He did. To him it was not magic just the knowledge of how to do it.
