Dye Question

I’ve used TransTint dyes for many years and am totally satisfied with the results. Check them here.

If it were me, I’d check out WD Lockwood analine dyes at http://www.toolsforworkingwood.com/store/dept/CLWW
I used some recently and was very pleased with the results and have been thinking of trying some primary color dyes for another project. Just be sure to carefully follow the instructions. Best wishes.

+1 TransTint – I use a spray bottle and spritz it on, that’s it.

I like the ultra-penetrating dyes stains from Mohawk. I had success with them the first time I tried them and I’ve used them ever since. Charles Neil has a video on you tube where he demonstrates these dyes. It’s worth a look.

I use and like TT dyes. However, I recently made speaker stands with red oak and the black TT looked more like Welch’s grape juice color. I emailed Jeff Jewitt and he suggested that I use Minwax Ebony over the black TT. I was very satisfied with the result.

Thanks for the help guys. Is much difference in mixing the dye with alcohol instead water? Or is it just better to use water instead?

Alcohol dries faster than water,making water easier to work with because you have more time to get it on the surface.

What Jim said and both water and alcohol will raise the grain so there is no benefit to using alcohol.
