Mix with water for an economical, non-flammable stain or with alcohol/ lacquer thinner for a fast drying, non-grain raising stain. For use as a finish toner, simply add the dye concentrate to shellac, water-base finishes, solvent lacquers, and catalyzed varnish or lacquers.

  • All colors are intermixable to produce custom shades.
  • Ideal for tinting woodworking glues, touch up and repair work, and adjusting the color of pre-mixed stains.
  • 2 oz. bottle produces about 2 quarts of dye-stain.
  • Not for exterior use.

This was my first time using a dye and what a surprise.I am building an island butcher block out of hard maple. The problem was three diffrent colors, white, brown and birdseye. After a lot of research on how to stain maple I chose TranTint golden browndye. To my relief the dye blended in all three colors uniformaly. I topped it with a semi gloss poly. Lets just say I'm very happy. By the way the 2oz bottle goes a long ways, I used 1.5 tablespoons to 8 oz of water for the entire project. PS!The color was a very close match to photo. Thanks

Been using Transtint dyes for maybe 5 years. Easy to use and the colors are transparent. Tints almost everything but oil base. Great for touchup when mixed with alcohol because it dries in minutes.
Makes good dye for cloth, to. And fingertips.

So versatile. Sprayed in an alcohol solution, it gives great color without obscuring the grain, and dries quickly. A few drops of this color or that 'tweaks' another stain to a near perfect shade when color matching a repair or matching piece. You can also mix it with lacquer for a topcoat, or as a toning spray.

Talk about putting a 'whooping' on a tough staining project, listen to this. Northern Hard Maple and Northern Hard Birdseye Maple both known for blotching when using a rubbing stain just became a worry of the past. I will be using Trans Tint Dye on all my projects because it has changed the way I look and feel about stains for a project. Trans Tint Dye is the greatest weapon any furniture maker could ever wish for, it is my new best friend.

I used Transtint medium brown, in alcohol, applied with a rag. I love the color I was able to get on my girl's mahogany jewelry boxes I stained 3 boxes and barely used anything out of the bottle. I will definitely try Transtint on other wood projects in the future.

I use water-born finishes for my guitars and on refinishing for other folks. I can't fault these dyes in any way for my use. The strength of the color is amazing and blending is easy.

These dyes work great, but I thought I should mention a couple of quirks I've found in my experiments with water vs denatured alcohol as the dilution/delivery vehicle, at least as it applies to use on baltic birch plywood.
First, the alcohol still raised the grain, not as much as the water, but enough to require a light sanding either way.
Second, the alcohol dries more quickly, but paradoxically, the water is more prone to show brush lap marks (I've been using a foam brush).
Third, the alcohol appears to be more prone to blotching, at least on the birch ply samples I've used so far. I haven't applied any kind of pre-dye sealer or anything.
And finally, and perhaps most importantly, the colors come out different depending on whether you've used alcohol or water. They don't look any different in your jars, but on the wood they do. The alcohol-based solutions are noticeably cooler than the water-based. At the same degree of dilution there is a definite difference.
Given all of this, I think I'm going to stick to water for diluting these dyes, and maybe try one of those little self-contained spray devices for application so I can avoid brush marks.
