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!

Great green dye. Whether it goes on straight, or mixed with yellow, or blue... eye popping! Have used these TT dyes on figured anigre and maple, with great results.
So far, I'm cutting the dye with isopropyl alcohol, allowing to thoroughly dry then either sealing with a polyester sealer, or with an automotive urethane clear. Working out beautifully. A little goes a long way. Great product!

Love this stuff. I use it for staining guitars and for resin epoxy dye. This is the best price I have found and I'm so glad it's being offered by a good family owned company. Great products and service here!

My order of Trans Tint dye stains arrived right on schedule. What's more, the shipment was packed really well, with plenty of packing material and ziplock bags for the stains. Everything was done right and it was nice to get a personal note from Joe as well!

I love the Trans Tint dyes. I use them both to tint wood and tint intercoat clear auto paint that I spray on guitars.
Not only does VeneerSupplies.com have the best price their selection is phenomenal and they always seem to have the product in stock when I need it. This is always the first (and usually last) place I go when I need this dye as well as any other veneering supplies. Great customer service, great prices and fast shipping. You can't ask for much more.

Great price, shipped quick, excellent instructions from Joe. We used these to dye some utility shelves from reclaimed store shelves and weathered 2x4s and they are so colorful and fun. Nice to see the wood grain and weathering patterns in the wood through the rich color. Mixed great with other dye colors, we applied two coats in water based polyurethane.
