TransTints are formulated from light stable metallized acid dyes. They are more lightfast when compared to conventional aniline powdered type dye stains. This unique concentrated formulation allows the user great latitude in using the dye because it is compatible with a wide variety of finishing products. The dye can be mixed with either water or alcohol as a bare stain on wood - or added directly to finishing materials like shellac and lacquer to make toners or stains.
No waiting or straining is necessary because the dye compound is pre-dissolved!

This was my first time using this product, and the first time buying from Joe at Veneer Supplies.com- The product came swiftly, and the ENTIRE experience buying from Joe was excellent. Bottom line, I will be looking here first next time I need any of this type of supplies. Thanks Joe!

Nice and dark, and rich in color. I no longer have to buy expensive exotic woods to get the look I want.

I add it to either lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol before I apply it to my electric bass bodies or necks. Very consistent coloration. It is the only dye I use. I am now on my 3rd color of TransTint. Joe at Veneer Supplies offers a great price and fast shipping. Certainly where I am going to buy my next color.
