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!

Bought this to create a "butterscotch blonde" finish on an electric guitar built. Will be using it to tint a waterbased clear coat to give an aged amber look. Price was very reasonable and delivery was quick. Will buy again from here.

I wanted a honey base for a flintlock rifle in curly maple wood. These dyes are outstanding and soak deep into the wood. This is my new "go to" way of creating color bases and they can be mixed. I used alcohol as a base as to not "raise or whisker" the wood. All in all, a perfect finish.

This is the best product I have ever used. Veneer Supplies not only beat everyone's price but also shipped the product within 10 minutes of ordering. Wonderful emails from Joe. I will not buy any where else from now on. Thank You.

Waited until I received this product to write this review! Received it in 3 days and that included a holiday! Received a personal email, from Joe, when my order was placed. Not one that is formatted for every Tom, Dick & Harry that orders. Nice touch! And the price? Joe beat everyone by as much as $10 dollars per bottle!!! A returning customer? Absolutely.

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 was looking for some Transtint dyes for staining my guitar kit projects. I searched the net extensively and found VeneerSupplies.com. The price was great, approximately 40% less than the large box supplier. I'm generally weary about ordering from sites not associated with larger on-line retailers, but thought I would give Veneer Supplies a try. The experience was great. The communication was excellent and my goods arrived in a timely fashion. My thanks to Joe and the staff at VeneerSupplies.com for their excellent service and a great on-line ordering experience.

I have a furniture restoration business. Each job requires that I customize colors to match any piece that is brought into my shop. With TransTint dies I can easily and quickly achieve the desired match. This product is easy to use and cost effective for me.
