SaBoFlex Fluo Pink – Plastisol Liquid Colour

Product detailed description

SaBoFlex Fluo Pink is a concentrated fluorescent pigment paste for colouring plastisol when making soft lures. It provides a vivid fluorescent pink shade for whole lures, bright bellies, tails and precise high-visibility accents. This is a colouring concentrate intended for mixing into base plastisol – it is not ready-to-use plastisol, airbrush paint or a surface coating.

Fluo Pink produces a vivid fluorescent pink shade. The final appearance varies with the dose, base plastisol, casting thickness, other additives and lighting. The concentrate in the bottle and an on-screen photograph are therefore not exact colour references for the finished lure; use a thin cooled drop or a test casting made with your own plastisol.

The term Fluo identifies this product as part of the fluorescent range. It does not mean phosphorescent afterglow in darkness, nor does it independently guarantee a particular response under a specific UV lamp. Fluo Transparent Pink is a separate colour whose transparent character is stated in its name. BubbleGum and other pink shades have their own colour character, and their names alone do not identify them as fluorescent products. Without a technical data sheet, we do not claim that it contains nanoglitter or has a metallic, pearlescent, precisely defined opaque or transparent, or non-bleed formulation.

For this pigment paste, SAF recommends adding small increments to plastisol that is already hot and clear. Its true intensity is difficult to judge in a cold, milky-looking base. In clear working plastisol, you can follow the shade as it develops and increase saturation gradually. Prepare the plastisol in accordance with its manufacturer's temperature and safety instructions and do not overheat it.

We do not specify a universal number of drops per 100 g. Drop size varies with the dispensing nozzle, and the same dose can look different in another plastisol or casting thickness. Begin with a small amount: a pale mixture can be coloured further, but added concentrate cannot be removed. For repeatable production, record the weight of plastisol, colour dose and every other additive.

Use Fluo Pink across a complete lure or as a bright belly, tail, head, stripe or smaller accent. It can be trialled in a laminate with white, pearl, smoke, purple or black. A suitable heat-resistant silver, pink or holographic glitter can add flash, while black glitter creates stronger spot contrast. Establish the base shade first, then add glitter and verify the recipe in a small batch.

The 50 g option is practical for trying the shade, producing smaller batches or maintaining a broad workshop palette. The 250 g bottle is better suited to regular production or repeated recipes; the greater mass of paste also makes the complete bottle easier to homogenise by shaking. The 1000 g pack is intended for intensive use and larger repeat runs. Pack size does not change the concentration or recommended method of use.

Storage and condition of the packaging

The colour paste and base plastisol are not the same material from a storage perspective. In SAF workshop use, Fluo Pink remains easier to handle in a cooler environment than plastisol itself, but the manufacturer does not publish a precise minimum storage temperature. Do not therefore treat the colour as frost-proof. Store it upright, tightly closed and dry at a stable room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and frost. Allow a chilled, unopened bottle to return naturally to room temperature before opening, then homogenise it thoroughly. Do not warm it on a radiator or hotplate or in a microwave.

Packaging note: Particularly after transport, a light oily film may appear around the thread of a concentrated pigment paste, or a mark may develop on the label even when the bottle is closed. Provided there is no evident loss of contents, this superficial trace does not affect use of the colour; we apologise if the label is marked. After dispensing, wipe the nozzle and thread, retighten the cap and store the bottle upright, ideally in a washable tray or sealed bag.

Frequently asked questions about SaBoFlex Fluo Pink

How does Fluo Pink differ from Fluo Transparent Pink?

Fluo Pink is a distinct pink shade in the fluorescent range. Fluo Transparent Pink has its transparent character expressly included in the name. Without a separate technical sheet, we do not assign Fluo Pink a precise opacity or transparency level.

Is Fluo Pink the same as BubbleGum or another pink colour?

No. BubbleGum and other pink shades have their own colour character, and their names alone do not confirm a fluorescent formulation. Compare equal doses in the same plastisol using castings of the same thickness.

Should Fluo Pink be added to cold or hot plastisol?

SAF recommends adding it in small increments to plastisol that is already hot and clear. Mix thoroughly after each addition and judge the shade on a cooled drop or test casting. Do not overheat the plastisol.

How can I retain a clean pink shade?

Use completely clean vessels and stirring tools. Even a small residue of red, blue or dark pigment can shift the final tone. Begin with a low dose and make each change in small increments.

When should I colour the whole lure, and when should I use Fluo Pink only as an accent?

A single-colour casting gives a consistent, vivid pink base. A belly, tail, head or narrow stripe leaves the second colour visible and creates a more targeted contrast. Choose the area to suit the specific lure design.

Does Fluo Pink also glow in the dark or guarantee UV response?

Fluo identifies the fluorescent range, not phosphorescent afterglow. The available manufacturer information does not separately guarantee performance under a particular UV lamp. Choose a product labelled Glow in the Dark when you require afterglow once the light source is removed.
