BBC Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I made a bunch of watermelon/lemon laminates (like yamamoto's senkos) last year and had a perfect match on the colors. I got the baits out last week (after they sat in my tackle box all winter) and the lemon isn't lemon anymore. It used to be opaque and it's now translucent. It's more of a very light chartreuse color now. Does anybody know what happened and how to fix it??? I don't have the formula in front of me right now but if I remember correctly I used LC lemon, Del's chartreuse, and Del's white dyes and used my standard stick formula for the plastic. The chartreuse was added before I heated the plastic (as per Del's recommendation). I coated the inside of the bags with worm oil before I put the baits in them. Also, I have baits from a couple different batches and they are all faded (some are worse than others though). Thanks, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Chartreuse and yellows bleed even worse when using salt. most baits will change after a period of time when salt is in the plastic. we have found that using florescent yellow in place of chart in no salt baits will not bleed , on salted baits it wont bleed as bad. I have some flo yellow baits that are 3 years old and been sitting in my partners boat the whole time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
