Plastisol dye

[FordsnFishin]

What are you guys using to dye your plastisol for soft baits. Specifically interested in a solid white. And chartreuse. 

 

Thanks

I use colorant from all of the major companies-Dead On, M-F, Do-It and Lurecraft just to name a few. 

 

Solid white should be pretty similar throughout the brands, but everyone's chartreuse will be a bit different.

If you were to only have one, what would it be? Thanks

Probably Dead-On.

I just use powdered pigment.  I have a bunch from other projects I do, so it's what I've got on hand.  For white, I use titanium dioxide.  

 

Though the advantage to a dye is it mixes a lot easier.  Mixing powdered pigments can take a while, so it's probably not worth it if you're microwaving your plastisol.  You'd have to reheat it several times, I assume, as it will cool off while stirring, and there will be a lot of stirring.  The advantage to powdered pigments is you have more control and it's a lot cheaper.  $100 of titanium dioxide is about a lifetime's supply.  And if you're heating over a hotplate like I do, it's not too bad.
