bassdude41 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm looking for a way to dye the tails of my worms. Spike it is the obvious choice but no one local sells it and I need it for this weekend. Has anybody dyed soft plastics with some homemade method?

Walking Dead Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Have any chartreuse baits that bleed like zoom chartreuse pepper? Lay them over the baits setting in the sun and they will dye them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Try a permanent marker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I actually like how solvent-based sharpies bleed. I can put black on the back of a clear or white swimbait, and it will become a deep purple overnight, fading down the shoulders. High lighting gills will also bleed, as will adding some blue to the cheeks. Chartreuse on the tail will bleed, too, but it works. I prefer the Spike-It markers, but those sharpies work in a pinch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cami Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Dear Guys, what do you think about this recipe http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/14000-replicando-replicante/ This paint grips enough to plastisol to handle the soft bait without peeling off accidents. Till now I have been able only to brush this kind of DIY paint, but I recently discovered that I used the glue tangit in tube (viscosity 5000 mPsa), while I now discovered and bought that one in can that is more liquid (viscosity 15000 mPsa) ... I have to try, but I am pretty sure that a lot of you are already producing and using their own DIY plastisol paint ... just curious to know which ratio you are using. Bye.
