calvinnemail Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hi, is there an alternative to the dyes you can use for soft lures? I've seen some pretty affordable dyes at walmart. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Color-Splash-Neon-Fabric-Paint-4-oz-Set-of-6/33396975 Any affordable sites? Thank you!

DaveMc1 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 when you start to see how far a bottle of colourant can go you won't worry about it. There are a few things that you can use but I haven't really seen a commercially readily available liquid colourant other than whet the supply sites already sell. The stuff you listed could be a water based dye which would be a huge no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) My experience with dyes is that they are only good for one color baits, because they all bleed. I haven't found a cheap source. I stick with the colors I get from the plastics sellers, because they work.

calvinnemail Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks for your replies. What color do you recommmend i buy to be able to mix the most colors? Red, blue , green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I use black, watermelon green, green pumpkin, brown, and chartreuse mostly. I add drops of one or the other to get the color and shading I want. Remember, if you add flake, it will affect what you plastic looks like, so do some small batch experiments first, so you don't waste a lot of plastic.
