Anyone have a bright or fluorescent orange recipe that doesn't bleed ? Thanks.

MF has a fluorescent orange but I think its real thin in color. The X2 doesn't shed color unless I really dose up the drop count. Maybe make the MF then add a couple drops of X2 to make the orange slightly richer in color. Honestly I make my X2 fluor. orange real heavy on drops but then let the whole cup of it cool and set up hard, then I use chunks in raw plastic to make my injection colors and I don't see any bleeding done this way.

Like Tom, Fluor. orange X2  only bleeds on me if I go over about 2 drops per oz.  I like a touch of gold hi-lite in my mix, gives it a little sizzle.

Thanks. I like the X2 Flo Orange but the batch I made bleeds like crazy. I'm looking for a solid bright orange to use as a tail color. I'll try the X2 again but cut back on how many drops per oz I add.

I like the X2 fine on the bigger baits where 2 drops per oz gets the color you want. For tail colors 2 drops per once just doesn't get the brightness I like.

Cut back on the orange drop count a few and add a drop of white if you want a solid orange for tails. As DF mentions, some gold hi lite will set this on fire and the white will go a long way to opaque the color but still allow the gold to snaz it up.
