Thanks Marc for the great and informative video. I am currently finishing up a mantle clock and trying to decide on a finsh. I do not have much practice with finishes other than clear spray. The clock is made from cherry and the stains that I have been experimenting with all seem to turn the exposed end grains almost black. I was wondering if dyes limit this effect or if they act like any other stains as far as the end grain goes. I have tried many different stains, on cherry scraps but have not been happy with the darkening. What I am looking for is to darken the cherry a little to the brown side without turning the edge and end grains so dark. Thanks for all your videos, I like many, find them very informative and appreciate the time you put in to make and post them.You and Dye

Thanks bubbyboy. Endgrain is pretty much always going to be a problem for any coloring agent, including dye. If the dye is added in very light coats, like toner, you can sometimes get a relatively even coloring effect. This is because the color wind up drying near the surface instead being absorbed deeply as it is in a regular stain or dye application.You and Dye

So aside from that, there are a few things you can do. One is to sand the exposed end grain about 2 levels higher than the rest of the piece. If you sanded to 220, consider sanding the end grain to 400 grit. Then I would recommend you use a pre-stain conditioner. Specifically, use Charles Neil's Blotch Control. This stuff is like miracle juice for staining and should help even out the color in the end grain. If you are curious, I wrote a little review of the blotch control formula here.
Hope that helps.
I want to say thanks, too. I'm eager to experiment with dye, and your video is very helpful and motivational. I had a few questions I hope you can address -You and Dye

Does the dye (powder or liquid) have to be used at the recommended strength, or can it be diluted for a subtle tint? Also, if finishing with an oil base - in my case Varathane satin poly urethane - should I still do a seal coat of shellac?
I love your videos, and I appreciate the professional level in which they are presented. Great stuff!
Thanks!
Hey Cindy. Think of dye like sugar. You can have any degree of sweetness that you like. So if you just want a hint of color, only add a little bit of dye to the solvent. But if you want the full-on color, try it at full recommended strength. As for the seal coat, you can probably skip it. Just be gentle when applying that first coat. And its probably not a bad idea to apply the coat fairly thin (thin 50% with mineral spirits) so it soaks in deep and dries quickly.You and Dye

Should I wet sand to raise the grain before applying wood conditioner to prevent blotching? I'm using Ash plywood for the case & Knotty Alder for top, doors drawer ect ect. It's my understanding both have a tendency to blotch. I have an HVLP which I will use to spray the stain on with. I really like the color of mixing the brown with orange….
Again thank-you for all you do for fellow Woodworkers. Are you going to be a the show in Vegas in July? Would love to meet you or buy you a drink!
If your products are water-based, then yes, you should definitely pre-raise the grain. I prefer to mist the surface with a spray bottle of water, while wiping the excess with a cotton cloth or paper towel. let it dry, then sand back with 220 or 320. And yes, you are a good candidate for some sort of blotch prevention. You are working with two of the most blotchy woods I know! Good luck!You and Dye

According to the labeling Dan, it shouldn't be mixed with anything thinned with mineral spirits. I honestly didn't know this at the time of filming because I never really add color with oil-based finishes. Had I known, I would have made it much clearer in the video.You and Dye

Marc you're a blessing in disguise. Your video is very professional. I also think you should be on TV. I have been thinking about dyes since my last piece of furniture. I used a gell coat on Birch, outch… what a mess as you can see in the photo. After that project I swore I'd never use stain again and would invest on better wood and simply apply a protective coat with no stain. Your great video and excelent information is making me re-think this.You and Dye

Thanks for the kind words. That's quite a handsome entertainment center. The thing to keep in mind is that all coloring agents have their problems. If the wood is blotch-prone, you are going to have to take preventative steps no matter what you use. Dyes are great and can be incredibly useful, but they aren't a panacea in any way. In fact, one of the best applications for a dye is to use it as a base coat of color, so you can follow up with something else afterward for a deep rich color effect. That said, on a personal note, I agree that using better quality wood and going stain-free is a great idea.
But being realistic, I know many folks will have to use color to get the visual impact they want.And as long as you wipe relatively lightly, you shouldn't have to use shellac if you don't want to. But it never really hurts. And of course, always test on scrap first to make sure you know what you're in for.
