jigmeister Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 With the good (US made) flat strand living rubber being hard to come by I have been contemplating attempting to dye some to get the colors I want . I have a bunch of flat strand ,fine , purple rubber that I would like to turn brown . I know from pouring worms that you can combine black and orange coloring to get brown but not sure about turning purple to brown . Anybody have any experience in this dept. ? Thanks -Jigmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgraff Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 What an Idea ! I don't know if that will work but I'm going to keep an eye on this thread and see what people say. I'm probably going to start looking around at different dyes and see if its possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microtek60 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I have both old living rubber and brand new living rubber and there is absolutly no difference in the two. Are you against the round stuff or do you just prefer the flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I too have learned to love the Froghair Round rubber. I also use the regular grade round rubber for buzzbaits. I die living rubber all the time. The orange is usually too bright so I mix a little dark brown RIT dye in some very warm water. It only takes a few seconds to make it burnt orange. It comes out very nice. Rinse it very well and pat dry w/ paper towel. I do this also w/ the fluor red. Mr B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
