“TransTint Dyes are superior…and the colors are gorgeous.”
Chris Minick — Fine Woodworking Magazine

TO USE AS A DYE STAIN – Mix with tap or distilled water for an economical, non-flammable stain. OR mix with alcohol for a fast-drying, non-grain raising stain. No waiting or straining is necessary because the dye is pre-dissolved.

Suggested mix ratio is 2 oz. dye per 1/2 gallon solvent (increase or decrease ratio to suit need). Dye solutions can be applied by brush, rag, spray, or sponge. When using a water-reduced dye, a pre-grain raising is advisable — apply the dye with an abrasive pad like maroon Mirlon.

TO USE AS A FINISH TONER – One of TransTint Dyes most unique features is their compatibility with a wide range of finishing mediums. Simply add the dye concentrate directly to shellac, water-base finishes, solvent lacquers, and catalyzed varnish or lacquers. Add any amount up to 1 oz. per quart. All 19 dye colors (10 wood tones & 9 accent colors) are intermixable to produce custom shades.

# AMBER – (Amber Additive) Add to clear lacquers to give an ambery look. Also used in sunbursts for the center color. Very bright.

# HONEY AMBER – A “must” color, use for duplicating yellowing of old woods and establishing uniformity to different colored boards. Very similar to # Amber, but a bit browner. The “go-to” color in guitar finishing for the center sunburst color and also for “amberizing” the over-all sunburst.

# GOLDEN BROWN – Yellow undertone, good base color for lighter “Mission Finishes” and for maple.

# REDDISH BROWN – A brown with a strong red/orange undertone. Good for cherry finishes. Resembles burnt sienna when diluted.

# MEDIUM BROWN – A basic brown with a slight orange undertone.

# DARK WALNUT – A very dark brown with a hint of red. Great as a dark shader and toner. Similar to van dyke brown. Use for “Java: and “Espresso” Colors

# DARK MISSION BROWN – A “cool” brown with yellowy undertones. Similar to raw umber. Used for the dark edge in sunbursts.

# CORDOVAN – Red purple undertones.

# BROWN MAHOGANY – An orange-ish brown, without too much red.

 

# DARK VINTAGE MAPLE – the absolute best color for that vintage maple look. A good color for pine, oaks and lighter woods. When used diluted, will make new maple look like old, un-stained maple.

# RED MAHOGANY – for dark red cherry colors. Great for the “Bombay” dark mahogany look when mixed strong (1 oz. dye to 1 pint solvent).

 

# COFFEE BROWN – a classic cool brown. Good for walnut colors on light woods like maple. A very good brown color for mixing (not too red, orange, yellow)

# LEMON YELLOW – Bright and clean. Very vibrant.

# BRIGHT RED – Like a fire engine. A warm red.

# BLUE – A classic blue. Deep and vivid.

# BLACK – A deep rich black. Use for “ebonizing” woods.

# ORANGE – Bright and clean. Not “muddy” like some oranges.

# PURPLE – A classic purple that’s impossible to get if you mix red and blue. Clean, vibrant and a bit on the reddish side.

# BORDEAUX – A scarlet red. Good by itself or mixing with browns to produce deep cherry reds.

# GREEN – A deep, rich emerald-green.

Specialty Colors

# Aqua – You asked for this color. Like a South Sea color!

Note: Aqua is formulated to be a “pastel” color. For deeper shades you may have to double the dye mixture from what is printed on the bottle. Example – 1 oz dye to 1 pint solvent

# Violet – Another color you asked for. Redder than # Purple and a bit more pastel.

# – Navy Blue. A really neat Grey-Blue.

# Perfect Red – In dyes, reds can be overly orange (like Bright Red #) or blue (like Bordeaux #). This one is well – Perfect!
