steelmania Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi, I am new to this, but I like it. When I look at the dye colors , it says non-bleed or nothing. Can anybody tell me what non-bleed and regular mean? Thanks for any help. It is greatly appreciated! ......Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Bleed means the colour runs, if laminating the bleeding colour can run into the other, same issue if they are stored together.I use a lot a bleeding colours simply because I find I prefer that shade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Bleed means I make a blue/yellow bait and in a week or so I have a green one. Nonbleed means I make a blue/yellow bait and in a long time I have a blue/yellow bait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmania Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks jigman and crusher, I am new to this and I am interested in doing things right. I am starting out with salmon egg molds as I do alot of steelhead and salmon fishing. I want to get the right colors but the bleed was a little confusing.Now I understand it. A transparent orange/amber color is needed. I am looking at M-F colors. Thanks...........Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Dyes make great baits as long as you don't put them with baits of a different color or laminate your baits with any other color than black or it will bleed through and change it. Don't be scared away from bleeders, they're great! You just have to be mindful of how you utilize them and realize they do have limitations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driftwood Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I use dye for most baits but if I don't want my baits to bleed, I use a past coloring. Past also helps get a more consistent color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Does whether or not a dye will bleed have to do with the size of the pigment particles, or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
