Mate, you asking a big question....big in the sense that there are a lot of recipes available and all on this website. if you are looking to make dips for your own use then its on here.....somewhere. to get the exact recipe for certian other dips (not all recipes are known exactly) you would have to capture the distributor/manufacturer of the specific dip and well torture him. Just leave Enigma, he is a Sealiner (its a pleasure Craig. Anything just o install the fear of the devil in you so that you do not do a Reefer on us 
).
To make your own floaties is much easier. take plain white (or yellow or orange or whatever takes your fancy) floaties, your flavour of choice and a plastic bag (or bowl). throw the floaties and a teeaspoon, about, of the good stuff in the bag and shake the bag (you have to blow the bag up into a ballon. just resist the temptation to pop it) or stir around in the bowl until all floaties are covered in dip. you can let it stand for a few hours to get all the dip sucked up. i then throw some powder (custard, flour, floro, etc) in the bag to prevent the floats from sticking to each other and to create a "bleeding" floatie.

Like forever mate. but floaties do become briitle after a while and can prove to be frustrating. lets call it even and say a year. thats why its so expensive to have 25 different flavours of floaties. except for the initial outlay, you would say for arguments sake only use a honey floatie once a year. by then its brittle (or almost) and not usefull anymore. then its the 2nd outlay to replace those 35 flavours. personally, i only use plain white and yellow floaties and would make meself a small amount flavoured floaties if i know that say the honey floatie works in X-dam. use them up for that specific trip, and chuck the rest away afterwards.

Thanks JustPlainSHARK great post
Have you guys seen or used the Supercast Fire Floats range? I am very impressed. Put 1 on a No. 1 Daiichi with 16lb hooklink on my sliding rietvlei trace and left it in the sink. Just to see how it performs. The wife wasn't too happy. But it floated till the next morning and the amount of fluorescein that bled out slowly was very cool to watch.

Kassie, dont know about the fire floats. But i see you from KWT. Went to school there. DVM. Didnt know there were angling clubs around there. Only saw a few flyfishers back then.
Hey JustPlain. Yep, I'm from KWT - went to Dale.
My fishing club is based in East London.
I got some info from Bill at Rratlapi Fishing that the Fire floats were a once off thing from Supercast - with some input from MG Baits - that they have not continued with. But who knows - they might put some more on the market when the takeover of MG is complete.
