Bazoo Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I have a white spinnerbait, and I have rit dye in black. I don’t have lots of funds though so I’m thinking I will give it a go. Anyone know of this combo will work? Will it successfully dye the silicone or ruin it? Should I dip it cold or boil it? Boil it I imagine. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted September 7 Super User Share Posted September 7 Rit dye is for natural fabrics that are porous...they even don't recommend it for fabrics containing more than 30% synthetic fibers. Reading a couple other forums on dying - Rit just washes off silicon rubber...doesn't even really take. If you want to go the cheap route - get a chisel tip sharpie and color each strand individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will most likely result in a mottled look, which I have always found to be a killer look in any kind of lure. I just have to try it!

Super User WRB Posted September 7 Super User Share Posted September 7 Never tried it ion silicone and doubt it would work. Warm water don’t boil the water. I would paint the head and change the skirt. Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
