Trans Tint, Non-Grain Raising, Universal Dye Concentrate, Golden Brown Makes 1/2 Gallon Dye Solution

Enhance your woodworking projects with our Golden Brown Wood Dye Stain. This concentrated, alcohol and water-soluble wood dye produces a rich, even color that accentuates the natural grain of your wood while preserving its unique character. It is ideal for furniture, cabinetry, instruments, and fine woodworking, offering professional-grade color control for custom finishes and restoration work.

As a toner or "shader," this dye can be easily mixed with water-based finishes and solvents to achieve a precise match for touch-ups or to create a custom finish. A 2 oz. bottle can produce approximately 2 quarts of dye-stain. It can also be used with shellac, catalyzed lacquer, varnish, water-based lacquer, and polyurethane finishes. Please note that this product is not intended for exterior use.

• Alcohol and water soluble for flexible mixing and application
• Concentrated liquid formula for strong, consistent color
• Mix with other dye colors to create custom wood tones
• Works with water-based finishes, lacquer, and shellac
• Quick-drying, fade-resistant, and easy to control

One of TransTint Dyes' most unique features is its compatibility with a wide range of finishing media. Simply add the dye concentrate directly to shellac, water-based finishes, solvent lacquers, and catalyzed varnish or lacquers. Add any amount up to 1 oz. per quart. All dye colors are intermixable to produce custom shades.

Colors may vary due to computer monitor resolution. Always test the stain on a hidden area before you begin.
