SaBoFlex Standard Yellow – Plastisol Liquid Colour

Product detailed description

SaBoFlex Standard Yellow is a concentrated pigment paste for colouring plastisol when making soft-plastic fishing lures. It provides a basic yellow shade for full bodies, bellies, tails, side layers and contrasting details. This is a colour concentrate designed to be mixed into plastisol – not ready-to-use plastisol, an airbrush colour or a surface coating.

Standard Yellow is a basic yellow shade. Fluo Yellow and the yellow-green Chartreuse are separate shades or product ranges; their properties cannot be applied to Standard Yellow. The name alone does not confirm fluorescence, UV activity or any precise level of opacity. Always assess the actual appearance on a cooled sample made with your own plastisol.

For colours in the SaBoFlex Standard range, SAF recommends adding them in small increments to plastisol that is already hot and clear. It is difficult to assess the true intensity in a cold, milky-looking base. In clear plastisol at working temperature, you can monitor the change in shade and build the intensity gradually. Prepare the plastisol in accordance with its manufacturer's temperature and safety instructions, and do not overheat it.

We do not specify a fixed number of drops per 100 g. Drop size varies with the dispensing nozzle, while the finished appearance depends on the base plastisol, dose, lure thickness, other additives and lighting. Start with a small amount; a mixture that is too pale can be coloured further, but concentrate that has already been added cannot be removed. For repeatable production, record the amount of plastisol, colour dose and additives used.

Standard Yellow can be used for a full yellow body, belly, tail, side stripe or one layer of a laminate. Pairing it with black or green creates a more distinct colour division, while white provides a lighter neighbouring layer. In a small test batch, you can add orange or red to explore a warmer yellow tone. Suitable high-temperature gold, green or holographic glitter can be added after mixing the base shade.

The 50 g option is practical for trying the shade for the first time, making smaller batches or equipping a workshop with a broader palette of colours. The 250 g bottle makes more sense for regular production or repeated use of the same recipe; the greater mass of its contents also makes it easier to shake the whole bottle thoroughly. The concentration and recommended method of use remain the same for both pack sizes.

Storage and packaging appearance

Store the colour upright in its original tightly closed bottle, in a dry place at a stable room temperature and away from direct sunlight. Protect it from frost and significant temperature fluctuations. If the sealed bottle has become cold, allow it to return naturally to room temperature before homogenising the contents. Do not warm it on a radiator, hotplate or in a microwave oven.

Packaging notice: Particularly after transport, a light oily film may appear around the thread or leave a mark on the label, even when the bottle is closed. Provided there is no visible loss of contents, this surface trace does not affect 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 Standard Yellow

What is the difference between Standard Yellow and Fluo Yellow?

Standard Yellow is a basic yellow shade. Fluo Yellow is a separately labelled fluorescent variant, so Standard Yellow is not automatically attributed with fluorescent or UV effects.

When should I use yellow for the whole body, and when only as a detail?

A full body creates a uniform yellow base. Using it for the belly, tail or side stripe preserves the lure's second colour and creates only a defined yellow area.

How can I create a warmer yellow shade?

In a small test batch, gradually add orange or a very small amount of red. There is no universal ratio; check each change on a cooled drop.

Which colour creates a contrasting laminate with Standard Yellow?

Black provides a dark back, green a more natural neighbouring layer and white a lighter combination. Confirm the particular ratio and layer thickness with a test casting.

Which glitter can I try with Standard Yellow?

Gold follows the warm base colour, green adds a green flash and holographic glitter adds a multicoloured flash. Use a high-temperature type suitable for hot plastisol.

Why might yellow look different in a thin section of the lure?

Thin and thick sections transmit different amounts of light. Check the same recipe on a casting with a thickness similar to that of the finished lure.
