    Used it with squirrel tails and buck tails only. You might have to travel where no one has been and leave a trail for others to follow.

    I will definitely let you know when it might not be clothing dye that I use. I will probably use a commercial that I used to dye my feathers with.

    Try mixing dye powder with PVC primer and dip the lure.
    You can also try mixing dye with car paint thinner.
    Spike-it is expensive but lasts a lonnng time.

    For surface painting, use artist acrylic paint.

    IF its a powder pigment it just might work. I would be cautious of the liquid type. Good thinking, I never thought about it. Let us know of your findings.
