Flattie Finder Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Anyone here know what type of base is used on tail dips? Looking to make white, and maybe chart tail dips that won't rub off soft plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) The Spike It dip and dye that I use is a dye, with really fine pigment particles, and all of their colors run /bleed onto whatever soft plastic baits they lay against. I think you would have to go to some kind of a soft plastic paint, which has larger pigment particles. I think Spike It sells that paint, too, but I've never used it.

I've seen all those and they do work, but I'm looking to see if I can find what is used as a base on the paints rather than dyes. I want to make my own. Thanks though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjs Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I have used the Spike-It clear plastic paint and just bought the clear to make different colours with mica powder, but I don't know what the paint actually is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
