Changing Color of Plastics/Rubber

[fcap60]

Here's a few things I'm aware of:

1. I use a permanent marker (black or whatever you prefer) let them sit for a while then wipe loose ink off. With time the ink penetrates the sluggo

2. Here's a neat trick. Mix a few sluggos of 2 different colors together in a plastic bag. For example, if you mix Pink and white sluggos together, the pink will bleed into the white an you will have a marble effect. ( I think this works best with the pink or red and black sluggos bleeding into the white) Green works too.

3. My buddy use to soak them overnight is die (purple) - works great and he caught a ton of bass on them.

4. when your all done, add some smelly jelly and catch LARGE.

I think you're right on with the soak them in smelly jelly idea,more than changing colors.

Yup--you end up with some real funky blends.

This is exactly what I do to change the black/smoke colored sluggos to blurple. I use purple Sharpie markers.

Here's another tip. First soak the sluggos in warm water & dry them with a paper towel to take the oily stuff off. The marker adheres better and the sharpies don't die as fast.

Then color the sluggo, let them sit overnight, then wipe the excess marker off with a papertowel.
