Default Bait dye?

Some one recently posted some info on dye for prawns(BOE I think). I can't find the info so my question is what is the brand name of the dye and where do I find it. I found some dye but the instructions say to remove the shell from the prawns before I dye them. (How do I put the shell back on? lol) Did I purchase the correct dye and will it work if I don't remove the shell? Like some input before I try the dye. Thanks

I know Pro-Cure (brand name) makes bait dye. I'm basically posting to bring it back up to the top for those who missed this post.

What would be wrong with using concentrated food coloring??

Lipripper,

If you are making custom cures. Fishermans and GiJoes carry Pro Glow bait dye. If you want a pre packaged cure there's Pro Cure and Pro Glow Cure. I've cured some prawns using RT's method and they turned out pretty nice. I'll bring the herring vs prawns post that has it to the top.
