I have been trying some experiments and have had some luck with a few things and just wanted to share. One experiment was using Spectra Set II for Reds, I sprayed stargazers with the spectra set II, They did not turn purple!!! They were still pink!!!
The next discovery was at Lowes, I noticed they had plasti-dip in red. The color looked fairly bright, so I bought one to try. Some of the red roses that have come out really dark look great!!
Just wanted to share, hope it works for you too!

Hi Jo,
Re: plasti-dip application, wondering if the application caused flowers to look semi-gloss/glossy appearance. Please advise and thank you for sharing.

Sorry I have not checked the message board for a while. The spectra set if available from Rich DeLong @ Fleur-Chem (www.fleur-chem.com) or 623-977-8900. He has all the chemicals for pre-treatments. We use them for freeze drying.
Nikki, we use plasti dip on all our flowers for post treatment. Some do look more glossy than others. But I have been very happy with appearance. I dont like that really glossy look either.
