SaBoFlex Mystic Purple – Plastisol Liquid Colour

Product detailed description

SaBoFlex Mystic Purple is a concentrated pigment paste for colouring plastisol when making soft-plastic fishing lures. It belongs to the SaBoFlex metallic colour range. This is a colour concentrate designed to be mixed into plastisol – not ready-to-use plastisol, an airbrush paint or a surface coating.

Mystic Purple is a purple shade with a metallic character for making soft-plastic lures. It creates a strong purple colour base that can be used on its own or as part of a multicolour casting.

Mystic is part of the shade's trade name. It does not by itself mean UV activity, fluorescence, glow in the dark or a colour shift with viewing angle. We do not attribute those properties without explicit technical information.

The correct workshop method for this SaBoFlex colour is to add it in small amounts to plastisol that is already hot and clear. Unheated transparent base plastisol looks milky or cloudy, making the final intensity difficult to judge. Once the plastisol has reached the clear working state specified by its manufacturer, you can see the change after each addition and build the result gradually. Do not overheat the plastisol.

We do not specify a fixed number of drops per 100 g. Drop size varies with the dispensing nozzle, while the finished result also depends on the base plastisol, casting thickness, other additives and lighting. Start with a small amount: a result that is too light can be intensified, but colour already added cannot be removed. For repeatable batches, record the amount of plastisol, the colour dose and all other additives.

It suits complete purple bodies, darker backs, lateral bands, tails and individual laminate layers. For a contrasting arrangement, test it with a pale, pink or blue colour in a small batch and determine the final ratio from a cooled casting.

The 50 g option is practical for trying the shade, making smaller batches or equipping a workshop that uses a wider palette. The 250 g bottle is better suited to regular production or repeated recipes, offers better value per gram and is easier to homogenise by shaking because of the greater mass of its contents. The concentration and method of use are the same for both pack sizes.

Storage and packaging appearance

The pigment paste and base plastisol are different materials and should not be treated identically in storage. In SAF workshop experience, this colour remains easier to work with in cooler conditions than plastisol itself, but the manufacturer does not publish an exact minimum storage temperature. Do not regard it as frost-resistant. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed and dry at a stable room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and frost. If the sealed bottle has become cold, allow it to return naturally to room temperature before opening, then shake it thoroughly. Do not warm it on a radiator, hot plate or in a microwave oven.

Packaging notice: Especially after transport, a light oily film may appear around the thread or leave a mark on the label, even when the bottle is closed. If there is no visible loss of contents, this surface trace does not affect the use of the colour; we apologise for any marking of the label. After dosing, wipe the bottle neck and thread, retighten the cap firmly and store the bottle upright, ideally in a washable tray or sealed bag.

Frequently asked questions about SaBoFlex Mystic Purple

Does Mystic Purple change colour with the viewing angle?

Not on the basis of the name alone. Mystic is part of the shade name and does not confirm a colour-shift effect. Treat it as a purple metallic colour and verify its appearance on a cooled sample.

Is Mystic Purple UV-active or fluorescent?

The name does not confirm either property. For a UV or fluorescent effect, choose a product for which the required function is explicitly stated in the name, description or parameters.

Where can Mystic Purple be used on a lure?

It can colour the whole body or only the back, flank, stripe or tail. Choose the placement according to the intended contrast and test the same colour layout on a small casting before a larger run.

Which shade makes a contrasting layer with Mystic Purple?

Try a pale, pink or blue layer, or a dark black back. Because dose and layer thickness alter the impression, test every colour pairing first.

How do I adjust the intensity of Mystic Purple?

Add small amounts to hot, clear plastisol and stir thoroughly after each addition. Check the true intensity on a cooled drop; an excessive dose already mixed into the batch cannot be removed.

Can Mystic Purple be mixed with another colour?

Yes, but prepare every new combination first in a small trial batch. The exact result cannot be predicted from shade names alone, so record the ratios and assess only the cooled casting.
