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!

The only thing I use to color wood! Works great to dye wood or add to a clear coat for a toner!! I’ve been using Transtint for many years. You can even add it to glue to change the color!

I needed to darken a cabinet that's been stained with an oil based product. Just rough mixed 2 colors in shellac and got the perfect color! Couple coats of urethane and done. Customers very happy with the results.

Embraced the TransTint Dye products about a decade ago. As a furniture maker, these are invaluable for custom finishes, color matching, and even mixing colored lacquers. So versatile. I keep a full compliment of 14 colors so I'm prepared for almost any finishing challenge that arises. Veneer Supplies is my favorite source, as the service is second to none. Bonus: pricing and shipping are the best deal going. They've earned my trust over many years and many fine products here.

TransTint is a great product but who really shined here is VeneerSupplies.com. The item was priced below market pricing and was shipped rapidly and arrived just as quick. Thanks VeneerSupplies.com!

Have bought this product from Joe a number of times, along with a bunch of veneer. Always more than satisfied with the shipping time and quality of product. This dye works wonderfully, and this is the cheapest place online to source it, even including shipping. Thanks!
