Any tips pouring hollow tube jibs and obtaining colors?
I have been looking fruitlessly for a certain hollow tube. It is impossible to find so far as I can tell, so I am going to make my own. I've looked at Cabela's, I've looked at BPS, I've looked in-person, online, in the mailer catalogs, and I've determined I'll just pour my own. Maybe some readers know of other sources, but I am at the point of doing myself. I found some advice on the web as far as making the mold I'll need, but I am wondering where is a good place to locate the coloring I'll need for the plastic? I am wanting to make jigs that are cream or off-white, baby blue, and pastel pink. I am wanting to make a tri-color tube; head one-color, middle another, and tail another. Any advice as far as obtaining those colors I mentioned, and also, any tips on pouring so the colors don't run? I am also wanting to make a few different lures in milky salt and pepper as a solid body color, so any tips there might help, too.
