Hanapa'a Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I noticed if I pour the bleeding shad it will leak through another color or the red would fade. Is there a better way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Can you be a little more specific? What colors are you using to make bleeding shad as I am not familiar with that combination. I assume you are making a laminate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanapa'a Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Sorry yes for a laminate BT 736 craw I'm trying to make a color close to a tuna craw or red crab...I have the bleeding shad color but it bleeds through different colors..Not sure if that make any sense Edited February 16, 2017 by Hanapa'a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I think the bleeding shad color is a dye, meaning it will "bleed" into other areas of the bait. This is true of all true dyes. They are soluble in plastisol and will diffuse throughout a bait or even transfer to other soft plastic baits. You can beat the transparency and brilliance a dye but if you want to do a laminate that needs non-bleed colorants you will have to use a red pigment. Red pigments are not usually as good looking as a red dye so it will change the look of your bait. If you insist on using the bleeding shad color you will need to look at shooting a one color bait or have your second color be dark like black or brown which wont show much of the bleed. Or complimentary to red bleed, like a opaque fluorescent chartreuse which will turn orange. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanapa'a Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thanks guess I won't be using this with another color since it bleeds through in the past. Single shooting will do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
