swarmjigs

Sorry, new here. This topic may have been talked about but I couldn't find anything. We inject crappie baits. Then we paint them with various colors and even laminate some. Have tried about everything and cannot keep pink from bleeding on to char, white, even clear. I have tried different plastics, different paints, drying times, nothing seems to work. We paint 25 to 30 different colors and flo pink is the only one we have trouble with. We have purchased flo pink from lureworks, do it and even netcraft. Does anyone have an idea why this happens? Sometimes we will paint a batch, let them dry overnight, bag them up the next day and notice it immediately. Sometimes it may be 2 weeks. Truly lost here. Thanks

I am talking about both. I have tried some flo pink and flo orange colorant for plastisol, poured in my clear VPI paint and had bad results. These colorants were not from lurecraft. I then tried to just use these same colorants in my plasitsol and they bled. Then I ordered co-lure coat flo pink and flo orange and they bled. After calling them, Bruce said that they could infact bleed. So now I have lure craft colorant coming to try and add to my clear VPI soft plastic paint to see if I get positive results. The web site says they are non bleed colors. Should know very soon. Thanks

Well I actually have called some and was mislead. The lure works Flo orange and Flo pink in the co-lure coat does in fact bleed. I have switched to the VPI paint now and have had better results. Gonna order some colorant only in these colors and give it a try. I will post my findings in a couple weeks. Thanks for the reply's!!

Who is MF?

I'm new here and tried to search for bleeding colors with know results. Hopefully someone can help me out. I pour crappie jigs and then use the VPI paint to color the tops of them. Works great on all colors but Pink and or Orange. Does anyone have any ideas? It doesn't matter if the jig is char or white, or even clear. Orange or pink sprayed on will result in bleeding after a few weeks. I have had this problem with the pink and orange when I use those colors in plastisol as well. They will bleed over to the lighter colors. There has to be away since there are so many plastic jigs and worms on the market thta have char and pink or ornage in combimation. ANt help would be apprciated. Thanks
